Hello Everyone! Long time no post!

Just so y'all know, I am still around. Mostly lurking lately because I just haven't been very talkative. I've been busy with the kiddos and my mom has been having health problems so I've been stressing out about that (especially since I'm too far away to do much to help

). And to top all of that off I've been having issues with my mother-in-law. All that has not left me very sociable.

I've done some stitching, but not as much as I usually do. I decided I should post an update to try to regain my motivation. This section is confetti heavy and it's starting to drive me nuts (which is odd since confetti doesn't usually bother me). Anyway, here's where I'm at now:

I'm going to try to be around more often just because y'all usually make me smile

Enjoy, and thanks for looking!

This is a great progress! stitching is some sort of therapy for me, I hope it will help you too to get over those problems

Great to hear from you Mechie - I was wondering how you were getting on! Your stitching is looking great as always. I hope the "life" problems settle down, it is hard to be far away from family, but especially so when you know they are going through health issues

Great update mechie. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's health issues and I do hope that she is on the mend, very soon. I can totally relate to that, as I'm about 1200 miles from my mom and she's had a fall recently and broken her hip(since had a hip replacement and in rehab now).
Sending loads of hugs your way

It's great to see you and this wonderful project again!!

This is a wonderful update!!!!!!

Sorry that you are having troubles. MIL's can be hard to deal with

. Hopefully your mom will soon be better.

It's beautiful Mechie! Hope things get better for you soon!

Beautiful update! I love this piece and you are doing such a lovely job. I hope your mother will be better soon. It is hard when you are far away. I also find that stitching is a great stress reducer (even when I'm stitching all that HAED confetti and swearing under my breath). It's great to see you back here again!

Thanks everyone! Y'all really did make me smile.

My mom is doing better now. Since Christmas she's been hospitalized twice for atrial fibrillation, had a lumpectomy and corresponding radiation treatment, and had a pacemaker put in. After all that, she still needs her hip replaced once all the other issues are under control. It was just a shock that all this seemed to happen all at once, especially since Mom has always been a very healthy person.

Again, thanks for the well wishes. It really does make me

I just read through this whole thread and I must say

Oh

My

Gosh!!!!!

You are one crazy persistent lady for taking this project on! I've seen this one and the others from Wall, and they all intimidate me tremendously

I am so impressed with your stitching so far!

I'm glad you're mom is improving - sounds she's due for some good news, and hope you can get the other life issues sorted.

Finally, finally, finally finished the page!

That makes 6 total. There was soooo much confetti in that greenery. For a while I thought I'd go mad trying to keep it all straight. I actually finished the page last week, but hadn't had a chance to take pics until today. So here it is in all its glory:

Enjoy, and thanks for looking!
