Meari's Japanese Garden

Black, black, and more black! I worked the entire north black border and northeast corner ornament. Here's what it looked like before:

HAED SK Sunny-Shelleen

I stitched on this all week and made some good progress. I have been looking at other progress pics and am impressed. Here is my progress.

I will be stitching on her all week as well.

Vickie and Everyone Else

 To make it clear I posted about posts showing up on my Multiply back the moment I saw them Which was apparently Oct 11,11. The Blogger records can not lie. The link is below so you can stop the hate mail because Multiply said its the settings who only the group blog owner controls and I know Vickie from other groups and she is not the person to do such a thing. So its not mine or her fault so you can grow up and act like the adults we are. Blogger has only answered me in saying its not their fault and Multiply blames the blogger group owner which to me is silly because I HIGHLY doubt Vickie would ever do such a thing.  I know I didn't do it either because I do not control the controls to this blog! My best friends husband is computer tech and my brother is a computer programmer and neither of them found out how or why either. If you know how to fix be my guest I'm sure Vickie and I would both love to know how to fix it along with others.

And THANK YOU to those that emailed simply asking what was going on and to Vickie who is just as clueless as I am about the whole thing. I have enjoyed being a part of the group and seeing everyone's progress, HOWEVER I do not appreciate asking for help ON Oct 11,2011  and getting hate emails because of it instead of getting any actual help.

Those that email accusing me and continues to harass me, well your not very nice so grow up! We are adults not children, stop acting like a teenager on drugs. I sure don't deserve to be treated with such hatred especially when I was the one to ask for HELP in the matter!  And No I don't have time to delete several posts that I didn't even post. I barely have a few hrs a wk to even stitch which I work on my UFO's and HAED's  and I am not about to give up those sparse hours. I rarely but once every few months post to my own blog. Even rarer then that do I log into the Multiply one. Just ask those in the HAED's group with me and those that know me as the original owner of the Cross Stitch Round Robins group on yahoo which I had to pass down because for the last 3yrs I, nor my best friend have had the time to run it like we used to so we pasted it down 2yrs or so ago.  They can tell you I am a nice person and those that were in it know how much time I spent making up for other ppls fallen through commitments and tracking down and returning lost RR's even when they were lost in other ppls groups. So STOP sending me hate emails! Most of which I just delete anyway so I don't treat someone in the nasty way they have been treating me! Get back to stitching or find out what happened and how to fix it PLEASE. There is NO NEED for DRAMA just stop sending me hate emails and start sending emails to Vickie on how to fix the darn thing if you know how to. Neither of us deserve to be treated with such nastiness but those that keep sending me the emails well gee there's a computer programmer and computer tech in the family I bet I can ask them to be real nasty back if I was that type of person, which I'm not, but still stop it please. Leave your nastiness to your own house and let the rest of us enjoy a wonderful group and stitch.  I am tired of waking up everyday since Feb to see such nasty emails and if it was anyone else I'd bet they would have been equally nasty back by now, but I'm just not that kind of person.

Stitching in Sunny CA

Come and see my update on my blog.  I have updated my picture of the Spirit Dancer and also my framed cross stitch of the poem Warning (when i'm an old woman).  Originally I was going to put it in a quilt, but my sister turns 60 and has been battling cancer, so thought I'd frame it and give it to her with the idea that she will re-gifts it when the next sister decides to retire.  Given my Dad is 82 and still working, it might be a long time before that happens :)

Wedding Sampler Progress as of 3/2/12

Well, this has been a week of mixed blessings. A couple of weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my back and have been struggling with it ever since. Finally, on Wednesday afternoon, I went in to see the doctor. The good news is that I have no pinched nerves, herniated disks, or other damage that might require surgery. The bad news is that in favoring my back while trying to let it heal, I've managed to throw a bunch of other stuff out of whack (including my left hip, my right lower back, and both knees). It stinks getting old. And adding insult to injury, my birthday was yesterday. Needless to say, it's not been my best ever.

At any rate, I'm looking at about 4-6 weeks of physical therapy to try to put things right again. And in the meantime they gave me a muscle relaxant that has me homebound for 2-3 days while my body adjusts to it. No driving. So the upside is that I managed to get in a bunch of stitching on Thursday and Friday. I'm a bit like a jack-in-the-box - I can't sit in one place for too long or I simply seize up. But even so I managed to make some decent progress on the Wedding Sampler. An update picture is shown below.

Progress Note

I haven't finished anything since my last post, but I have made progress. You can read about it in this blog post complete with photos: http://theshopsampler.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/tast-week-9-meets-studio-journal/

Since my computer is broken I'm typing a lot less right now. I should have my computer working in May, but am borrowing my partner's when he's not on it!
