The good news is that I started my first HAED - I got the pattern on clearance, and searched my whole stash of threads and found that I had all but one color for the chart. I even had the fabric in my stash. It's 18 count Aida, and since it's a relatively small HAED, I figured I'd use the 18 count to make it a tiny bit bigger than stitching it on 25 count would make it.
It's called Peek a Boo Fairy With Dried Flowers, with the artwork by Jasmine Becket-Griffith
Design size: 200 W by 185 H
Now for the bad news.
My mom has been losing weight for a few months now, ever since she broke her hip the end of May. Since Monday she's been in the hospital. Today we got the news that they found a mass on her liver and multiple spots on her lungs. The nurses and doctors have been talking to me about hospice care. My dad passed in 07, and my grandmother (my mom's mom) is 92 and has no idea how sick my mom (her daughter) really is. There's no one else but me and my husband to handle this, and I'm starting to lose my mind trying to keep track of everything (doctors appointments, kiddos Girl Scouts and soccer, my own work schedule, husbands work schedule, etc).
