First off this update, I have to apologize that I missed the update 3 weeks ago. I was preparing for surgery that Tuesday and my mind just was not on stitching.
Everything turned out beautifully and I am feeling fine and almost completely healed and back to work. During my recovery I got some stitching and reading done which was relaxing and kept the pain at bay.
I did, however change my SAL project for this group. I just was not feeling my own charted project that I was working on so I have put that aside and have chosen to work on the gigantic Onions and Gourds Cross Stitch Project instead.
Here is a photo of what the project will look like when it is finished:
and here is my progress so far after three weeks:
Doesn’t look like much yet but maybe you will see it take shape in the next three weeks.
Please check out the other stitchers in the Stitch-a-Long and see what they are up to. There is some fantastic work going on with these folks that I am excited to catch up on.

See you in three weeks!

That’s a big project you’ve taken on there, but it will be amazing when it’s done. Glad you’re on the mend – I always find stitching is a great way to pass time when you’re not feeling up to much else.
