:ribbit: What a lovely scene and how lucky to spend your honeymoon there...very romantic. Just give your shoulder chance to recover and you'll be gazing at the scene off your wall in no time.

Hi Claire, sorry :( about your shoulder pain. Take it easy.I absolutely love your Paris scene! Good on you for doing such a marvellous job :applesauce: I've just reconnected with a french friend whom I haven't seen for many years. I did a couple of small French scenes once for my sister, but have lost the magazine. Nothing as big as that though. Please show us the finished scene. Kindest regards, Pippa :dance:

Re: My Paris scene (Update 1st Aug)

Post by claire81 »

Hi all
Thank you for all the compliments and get well shoulder wishes. Since my last post I have bought myself a stand to hold my frame and its made a huge difference to my shoulder, only problem now is aching wrists :roll: I'm sure with adaption I will find a suitable position to stitch, I started stitching again last night I haven't made a huge amount of progress as my time is limited with two children under the age of 5. For those of you who enjoy moggy pics, heres some of my Rhonda loving the new stand and giving her a great place to peep at me. This is will be all for a week as I am off to France for a week on Saturday, not Paris I am staying near Boulogne somewhere near we stayed before so catch you all soon

So glad the stand is easing your shoulder. Hopefully the wrists will stop being sore once you get used to it and figure out what is comfortable for you. Love the eyes of your Rhonda. Stitching with an audience is always fun.
Enjoy your vacation and keep us updated when you get back.

:applesauce: Great update and lovely to see the 'boss' aka Rhonda keeping an eye on you. Great update and hope the wrists soon adjust to the new way of stitching.

Enjoy your holiday.

Lovely stitching, and what a precious little cat! :wub: I get aching wrists too but I find that taking regular breaks helps (easier said than done when you're on a roll! :lol: ).

Finally finished despite all the aches and pains, I am very pleased, I lost the tension a bit in the bottom right hand corner but hoping when this is framed the mount will cover it. :dance:
