Earlier tonight I came home to a lovely surprise! This really cheered up a mucky day - we got our first snow of the season this morning, and it lasted well into the afternoon. Not much to measure and it will melt in a day or two, but still.... yucky. But, dear Susan wiped that all away! Recently, I offered my November Birthay Needleroll chart up for adoption after I had used it, and Susan asked for it. I never thought about it again. I did not want anything for the chart, except for it to go to a good home where it would be wanted. I knew that goal was achieved and I happily forgot about the whole thing. Susan did not! She stitched me this beautiful little Peace pillow by LHN!!!! Her stitching is just perfect and I love how she used a four sided stitch instead of a whipstitch to put it together - very nice! Oh, and lovely chocolates that Mike shall just enjoy so much! Thank you Susan! As I told you, this was not necessary, but I just adore it and appreciate it so very much! And... happy belated birthday to you too! (Sorry about the blurry photo, I just realized how poorly it came out).
Thank you for all of the lovely thoughts and comments for Beau. He is very well today. Mike worked from home today and said that Beau ran around like a little kitten all day - he feels so relieved :-) I awoke this morning to him curled up beside me and stroking my face with his paw. He always does this, and to think that last night there was a fear that he would be leaving us soon... I shudder...
Stitched on today: Stitched on a gift, finished Crazy Exchange return gift for Katrien, and finished Victoria's Quaker

HAPPY THANKSGIVING CAROL :) (for whichever day you celebrate it - sorry I am not sure!)
VQ looks stunning - I am goign to post a porgerss piccie of mine tonight :) I am down to that dividing band which is just above that grand peacock!!!
This is a lovely sampler and I am really enjoying it :)
About Beau...poor kitty! I hadn't seen your edited post from his vet visit until I read today's post and saw that you'd mentioned him. Hopefully you can get him checked over with his regular vet and get those minor issues taken care of.
Non-normal thyroid levels are quite common as animals age, and it's an easy fix with a small pill every day. As for his teeth...are you still feeding all the kitties a wet food? Canned foods, while appetizing (to the critters, anyway...LOL) are bad about causing tooth problems. Don't know if it'll help, but you can get kitty toothbrushes and toothpaste...but actually brushing kitty teeth might be a challenge!
Congratulations on finishing Victoria's Quaker! Looks just fantastic! Also loved what Susan stitched for you....really pretty
Congrats on a beautiful finish!
