So very sorry to hear about your eyes--and I do hope that the new lenses will help you to be able to stitch again. I've been using progressive lenses for a few years now and thank goodness, I've never had any problems with them.

:applesauce: Good job on this project. Its okay if it doesn't have butterflies. Sounds like you are getting used to your glasses. I was wondering how you've been doing and I'm so glad that you are back.

I really appreciate your concerns... it's really hard having visual issues... can't xstitch the way i used to... it takes double the time now...slowly, i'm learning to adapt to the limited capability of the progressive lenses... it takes effort to focus when it comes to having to read and see things near. Anyway, am glad that im back on the track now...

...have finished the Home Sweet Home and have framed it up..

...and i'm on the sixth butterfly for the Painted Ladies project....

Hope you all like it....

Beautiful work on the Home Sweet Home one Charmagne and the frame you have chosen sets it off nicely.

Those butterflies are such glorious colours - so bright and cheerful and on such lovely fabric too. :stars: :stars: :stars: :stars: :stars:
