There is not a whole lot of progress to show today on Three Boats. Mom has been home from rehab since Monday and I am back to sleeping at her house each night. Despite my hustle to get all of the appropriate information and signed forms to her lawyer prior to her discharge, she has yet to be approved for the full-time aides that are now necessary. This has greatly affected my stitching time. Of course those of you who follow most of my posts know that I am also trying to stitch a Christmas stocking for my son-in-law and another special cross-stitch also so Three Boats has to fit in to the rotation.
All that being said, here is where Three Boats was 3 weeks ago.
Thanks so much to Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea for hosting this Stitch Along every three weeks.

Best wishes for your mom's recovery. Still plenty of time to stitch up holiday gifts.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get the caregivers sorted out soon. Your stitching project will take some time but I love seeing it every time you post pictures!
ReplyDeleteHoping your Mom has a speedy recovery. Sometimes the projects need to be put aside when life happens. Big hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteso sorry you are back to sleeping at your mother's house so she is not alone - so stressing
ReplyDeleteWow! I can’t imagine stitching something so intricate and full of stitches. Beautiful! I hope your mom has a good week.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you managed to stitch at all in your current situation. I hope you can get some time to yourself soon.
ReplyDeleteMy stitching is my stress release. Sometimes I just think about the stitching, sometimes I work problems through while I stitch.
DeleteBeautiful stitching! Hope things get worked out so your mother can get the help she needs. I know it is trying for the family/caregivers! Will keep you both in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you show a before and after photo, you can definitely see progress despite all that is going on for you at the moment!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing progress on three boats! Kathi
ReplyDeletePraying here for a quick recovery for your mother and better days for you.
ReplyDeletesorry to hear you're having to run around getting things set up for your Mum. And am surprised you managed to have the energy to stitch as well.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't that I have the energy to stitch, but that I desperately need the stress relief. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteHopefully the care for your mom will be sorted out very quickly. Even little stitching progress is great. It is always a joy to see your Three Boats.....and your October Morning. Take care; hoping this week lets you enjoy a little more stitching.
ReplyDeleteEach time you add a few stitches, you move Three Boats along a little more. Hope the approval for a fulltime aide comes through soon!
ReplyDeleteHoping you are able to resolve your mom’s care needs quickly! This has been a stressful time for you, keep your stitching to relax, there are no set amounts, so enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope the aides come through soon, so you can get back to your stitching.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all works out well with your mother! Let the stitching take its time!
ReplyDeleteI was expecting this project to take quite a lot of time, so I am not too worried.
DeleteReally, that seaside piece ... the stitches are soooo tiny. It is just amazing!! I think that every time you show it. And I know the project is MUCH bigger!! A lifetime achievement for sure.
ReplyDeleteCathie, I'm glad that your Mom is back in her home, and that she has you to help care for her. Hopefully the paperwork for her full-time carers comes through to take the pressure off you! Sending good vibes your way.
ReplyDeleteHaving looked after my Mum for two years before she went in a home, I know just how hard in can be when you are the only carer. Do not fret on lack of progress, I can certainly see where you have been working and it is growing steadily. Don't forget to take care of yourself as well as your Mum Cathie xx
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deleteglad your mom is home, sad that the agency or whoever cannot get their act together and send the care that she needs (and you need!!).
