Shoulder & Biscornu Issues

I still haven't done any stitching - again - my shoulder has been playing me up something chronic for pretty much the last month, and the doctor's advised rest, so my stitching has suffered for it unfortunately. I went to see my consultant on Tuesday and he said they could operate, but the chances of my EDS interfering with the success of the operation long term were too high, so the operation is a no-go. I can see his point, but I still think that it even being better in the short-term would be preferrable to the amount of pain it can cause me. But the buck, so to speak, stops with him. So it's rest and pain killers...

The mini-biscornu I did for the exchange at CSF never arrived in Australia so I'm currently working through stitching another one. Hopefully I'll be able to post it to Toni this week. Here are the pictures of the one I orginally sent

I'm really disappointed that it never arrived because I was really happy with the result even though it was a pain in the butt to do (being only 20x20 stitches) and I'd never done one before. I kinda threw myself in at the deep end. Still, can't do anything about it now.

Hopefully my shoulder will be feeling better after another week's rest and I'll be able to get some more stitching done on my main pieces. I miss them terribly.

It's A Doozy!

Today has been a mad, crazy day. Hubby did his back in cleaning up yesterday, and thought that it would be better by morning. Wrong. He could hardly move when he woke up, so we went on a trip to the doctors surgery with two kids in tow. He's pulled something in his back which could take weeks to right itself. So it's off work for him, and lots of running round for me. Which is something I could do without (seeing as how I'm not in that good nick myself) still, this sort of stuff happens, and that's really all there is to it.

I've not done much stitching, though I did do some on Majesty, but my hands are seriously giving me grief and my fingers are badly swollen. Top that all off with a terribly swollen ankle and aching hips and I've had a doozy of a day.

On a good note, 30 skeins arrived this morning, so I'm a little closer to getting all the stash for Persephone. Hopefully the other 100 will come with the postie tomorrow.

I'm going to try and do some more of Majesty tomorrow - provided I don't get over excited if the rest of my threads arrive and start stitching Persephone straight away - which I might very well be tempted to do.

I've also got to finish the other side of my first - and what I expect will be the smallest - biscornu I've ever done (20 x 20 stitches) for an exchange at CSF.

Tomorrow is going to be so fun.
