Four Season Snowmen Cross Stitch Series

I'll get back to posting some stitching and tutorials and all that fun stuff as soon as I can. I'm very limited here on what I can do so I'm focusing on my work.  And it looks like it'll be a little bit longer before I can move on so.......sigh......

These cute little Four Season Snowmen Cross Stitch ornament patterns are now available again:

These are small designs but very detailed!  The patterns are large print, easy to read black/white symbol charts with colored backstitch lines.

You know where to find them!!!  Kitty And Me Designs on Etsy!

Update on Scott's Cancer Treatment

Hi everyone,

Scott is doing pretty good with everything, except for the constant running from one doctor to another. He keeps telling me he just wants to work. I can understand that. I think we'll be done with the majority of this sometime in April. If all goes well.

The radiation will be starting in the next week or so. Along with 5 more of the mild chemo treatments.

We're getting there, slowly but surely and he's holding up pretty well despite the fact that this is all getting on his nerves. Mine too. But the treatments are working so that's what matters.

I'll keep ya'll posted.

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.

Love to all, Pam

Update On Scott

Hi everyone!

I'm a little behind on email, my blog and the Never Ending Sampler Stitch Along.  I've been very tired with all that's been going on with Scott's Cancer Treatment.

Today, I'm going to try to get caught up on my email.  I'm trying not to push myself right now.

Scott is doing very well. There will be more chemo starting on Monday but this one targets the actual cancer cells and not the good cells. Thank goodness! What he went through was horrible!

The radiation will be starting soon but I don't have any dates yet so I'll let ya'll know when I find out more.

We could still use some help if anyone can. More lost pay and bills coming our way. I've done pretty good staying on top of things thanks to all of you and your generous donations. I hope I can continue to do that through the duration of this process.

Thank you to everyone!

Pam

Update on my Husband

Hi everyone,  Scott is doing well. So well in fact, the 4th round of chemo has been cancelled!!!

In a couple of weeks, he'll move on to the radiation treatments.

He felt good enough today to go back to work. He was climbing the walls sitting around here watching tv.

I'll let you know when we get to the radiation. I pray this will all be over and behind us by Spring.

We still need some help but I'm so grateful for your generous donations, for your prayers, your concern and your kindness. I'm just so very thankful.

Update On Scott

Hi Everyone! Round 3 of the chemo is over. It was a really rough weekend but Scott's color is back and I'm hoping we can get some solid food in him today.

Round 4 of the chemo was cancelled. The cancer responded really well to the 3 rounds so now, he moves on to the radiation and a different type of chemo which we're told, isn't so horrible on the body!

So it looks like we're at the 1/2 way point!

Thank you so much for your kindness, prayers and generosity. I'm so grateful! We still need help though. There's a huge deductible coming now, a ton of more hospital bills and he's lost so much time at work. Right now, I'm just trying to focus on paying our regular bills.

I know everything will be okay but I need to keep our heads above water. Please share on facebook!!

Thank you so much everyone,

Pam

Never Ending Sampler Panel 1 Band 4

The band 4 of the Never Ending Sampler:

Work the flowers with straight stitches using 3 strands of thread.  They should look like Satin Stitches.

Experiment with the backstitching.  If 1 strand shows up, great.  If not, try 2 strands instead.

Thank you!

First, I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who has made a donation to Scott's Cancer Treatment Fund.  This is a difficult time for us.  I'm still a little in shock and I know he is too.

My father in law is coming up today.  He'll be doing all the driving.  I've never been one to do long distance driving and especially in the city.  Treatment is being done at Loyola University in Chicago.  And we live way up north in the country on the Illinois/Wisconsin border.

Anyway, tomorrow, the stint will be put in.  Since my father in law will be with Scott, I will be home working.

I'm in the process of republishing many of my retired Counted Cross Stitch Designs.  And I'm planning on doing some new designs too!

At the moment, I'm working on this design:

For my cross stitch friends who like my cat designs, this Christmas Cat will be available later this week.

New Cross Stitch Patterns?

I received several nice comments on yesterdays post regarding my possibility of designing a few new cross stitch patterns.  I'm really liking primitive cross stitch these days but wanted to ask for you opinions. 

If I were to do this, what would you like to see in the way of new patterns?  Please leave your comments.  I'm eager to hear from you.

In the meantime, this is one of my re-released cross stitch designs.  Aria For Christmas is available here.

Snowflake Biscornus

My Snowflake Biscornu Counted Cross Stitch designs are now available again!  I'm sure my counted cross stitch friends will be happy to see them!

Perfect for Biscornu pincushions, Christmas ornaments or stitch one up and work it into a Crazy Quilt block!
