I've been missing for a while :(

 Good Morning, 

I have not been able to do much By The Bay creating or managing for over a month. Sorry I wish I could be more consistent but life keep throwing me curve balls....so my husband says ;)

Hubby went in for shoulder surgery and things did not go well. He came down with an infection a little over a week later and had to have emergency surgery to see what was going on.

 The surgeon had to take all of the pins out that he put in and some muscle just a couple of weeks before. So hubby has spent quite a while in the hospital. He is on IV antibiotics 3 times a day that I infuse for him, we also have my mom that is 90 years old living with us...she is pretty much independant but does need some things attended to. 

And we also hosted a Passover Seder at a local Comunnity Center this past Monday.....I did all of the cooking and the shopping for everything, helping to set up and serving.....oh HAHA one more thing too ......I am cat/house sitting for 3 weeks.

So ..... to make it quick , I have been very busy, but every night before bed I do get about an hour of stitching time in......

I do have the stitched girl that is finished...Her name will be "Beloved". Also with her I have an option to stitch her without the alphabet, and instead there will be long roses coming up on each side of her. 

I do have a tall vase of flowers that is finished....I love them ....they are very simple. This is the photo of the applique design I made that is 3Dimensional, I loved the Simplicity of it so I designed it into a cross stitch design. I will share that sometime soon too....

I do have a Home scene that I am stitching but instead of my usual seaside this one has the same flowers that I used in the previous vase so you could have matching stitched designs. (No photo yet)

I am working on a Stitch A Long too.....I have 3 sections finished (Designing that is) 

I also have a summer seaside scene that I have been saving since 2018....time to release it HAHA (You'll have to wait a bit longer to see it)

Hopefully things will settle soon, and I can get more time for By The Bay.

Spring is in the air and I hope you can hear the birds 🐦chirping and see the flowers🌼 peeking up to wish you well.

I will keep in touch as soon as I can.

Happy Stitching, Try to have a good laugh and smile today 😉
