eyes are tough!

Had my surgery this morning and all went well!  Apparently I spent way more time being prepped and waking up afterward than I did in actual surgery, so that's good. :)  The white of my eye is now RED, but other than a little soreness (praise vicodin, bwahaha) I'm feeling fine!  There's some double vision and weirdness with focusing, but that was expected and should fade over the next few days.  I look forward to giving everyone the evil bloody stinkeye when I go back to work. :p

I've been able to stitch a little today, with my new glasses on!  I always had to take them off and hold my work very close to stitch, so this is a nice improvement. :)

I also, er, bought three more HAED charts.  I heard that the company was having issues with copyright infringement, like many other stitchy places these days.  I wanted to show a little support AND get the last few items on my wishlist that I would truly regret not having in case something happens. :(


When I get around to stitching Iris, I'll be cropping her like this, or maybe a little more.  I'm not stitching those iris flowers in the bottom left again! :p


I also went to various artist sites and bookmarked the prints I want to buy later!  I've discovered several artists I like by browsing HAED, but I don't want to stitch all of them... no time for so many complex patterns, and while stitching is great, the original artwork will have better clarity and detail.

There's also a ridiculous package of stash that finally arrived from Stitching Bits & Bobs, but I already put it all away!  Just know that there is a serious Brooke's Books thing going on around here... I love her dimensional ornaments on perforated paper.  I haven't started one yet, but soon!

Also, you should check out Dylimes' blog - she's stitching Transcendence on black just like I plan to, and he is amaaaaazing!

  4. You can always frame Iris and her flowers then hang them next to each other!

    Glad the surgery went well.
