Very nice!!

Lovely work

Looks great!!!!!!

Well ive had a couple of days off work, as both of my daughters went into hospital on Thursday to have Gromits and T-tubes fitted. So ive managed to get a bit more done on this.
Also while i was at the hospital i tried my hand at Black Work for the first time.

Here is the updated picture -


And here is my first go at Black Work -

Im sorry bout the quality of the picture on this, as im still useing my phone, as i still cant find the camera.

Im hopeing to get the Bunnie and cart finished today,as unfortunatly im in work again tomorrow.

Ive managed to miss this thread so far but its a lovely project and I love the sentiment and your making great progress

It was my 3 year old who had the gromits fitted. My 9 year old had T-tubes. As Libby ( 9year old) as had Gromits fitted twice and for some unknown reasson they didnt work, so the dorctor decided that it was time for another option.
But 24 hours after the operations everything is going well.

Glad to hear recovery is going well. Nice stitching on both projects

Glad to hear that both girls are doing well now.

Great going with the bunnies and your "blackwork" is fabulous.

I hope your daughters are getting better!

Glad to hear that your daughters are doing well.

A tympanostomy tube (also known as a grommet) is a small tube inserted into the eardrum in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of mucus in the middle ear. The operation to insert the tube involves a myringotomy. The tube itself is made in a variety of designs. The most commonly used type is shaped like a grommet. When it is necessary to keep the middle ear ventilated for a very long period, a "T"-shaped tube may be used. Materials used to construct the tube are most often plastics such as silicone or Teflon. Stainless steel tubes exist, but are no longer in frequent use.

Although myringotomy with tube insertion can be performed under local anesthesia during a regular doctor's appointment in co-operative adults, patients requiring tube insertion are very often young children. Since damage to the ear is possible unless the patient stays quite still while being manipulated, for any patient who may have difficulty lying still during the procedure, myringotomy and tube insertion is performed under a brief general anesthesia.

The insertion of tympanostomy tubes is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on children. In the USA, it is the most common reason for a child to undergo a general anaesthetic.[1]

Tympanostomy tubes generally remain in the eardrum for some period of time, ranging from 2 years to 5 years, before spontaneously falling out of the eardrum. The eardrum usually (but not always) closes without a residual hole at the tube site.

Oh, dear that sounds really serious. My daughter used to have ear infection every winter - but after her tonsils were removed she no longer got them. But never heard of these things - perhaps they are new or not known here in Hungary?
Anyway, glad they are both well.

Your stitching is great, and well done on your first attempt on blackwork - you won't stop now, will you?

Glad both girls are recovering. My eldest had gromits fitted twice before he was cleared. They call it glue ear sometimes in the UK.

Lovely stitching and you would never tell its your first time at blockwork.

Well got another Bunnie finished today. And as you can tell from the picture below ive 3/4 of the way through the wagon. Im hopeing that the wagon and the two bunnies that sit in it will be finished this weekend.

This is really stitching up fast! Very cute!

Nice!
