great project and wonderful progress!!

Great project and you have made an impressive start

It's going great!

looks great!

It looks very nice; the yellow really stands out against the black!

Thanks everyone!

Unfortunately no new stitches to share. Saturday was really crazy and I ended up in the ER for a few hours. Everything turned out better than I could expect, but I'll have to follow up with some specialists in the next few weeks.

I'm hoping to get some more of the first page done during the superbowl tonight since I am NOT a football fan!

Hope everything's alright with you, Lauren! I'm not watching the big game either; couldn't care less about sports.

Thanks Pam!

Everything for now is ok. I was actually diagnosed with having a TIA or mini stroke, which is very unusual for someone my age (26!). Thankfully it only lasted a few minutes and there was no serious damage done. They've put me on daily aspirin and I have to see a neurologist this week.

I've never been more grateful for the use of both arms. I've been hugging my kids as tightly as I can all day today.

Hope everything turns out okay. Let us konw how things go!!

So sorry to hear about your ER trip. Hope all goes well with the Neurologist visit.

Oh you poor thing! That must have been really scary.
Hope all goes well for you with the neurologist now.

Sorry to hear what you went through, Lauren. Hopefully further test will determine why it happened. You're so young; I hope you never experience that again.

Scary! Hope all is well with you now and they determine the cause so it doesn't happen again!

Here is the newest update:



I was finally able to get back to stitching yesterday and made quite a bit of progress. Page 1 of 3-1/2 is very close to being completed now!

Thank you for all of the well wishes. I'm coming to terms now with some of the (hopefully) temporary side effects of having a TIA including being overly tired and having a hard time concentrating on anything. Luckily, cross stitching still comes easily!

pretty progress!

Great update! I hope you continue to feel better everyday!

That's really looking great!


I'm glad you're settling down, but please don't over do it, take care of yourself!
