July Already !!!

Well, here it is another month that has gone buy. As I have said in the past -- time does fly !!
I had DH at the ER again a couple of weeks ago. He had a coughing fit and fractured a rib -- again !! He has done this in the past - quite a while ago but it happened again. He is doing better now but was in a great deal of pain for a while. We mostly stay home with the heat as it tends to bother him. We had a very quiet fourth of July. I took DH out to dinner on the 2nd as it was his birthday -- 72 years old. I teased him and called him "my little old man " LOL  he didn't see the humor. But even though he would never admit it, I know he enjoys the teasing.

As far a s stitching, I have tried to keep busy. WIP's have been my main focus as well as the stitching I needed to do for RR and exchanges. I did finish The Mighty Oak and now just need to decide how to frame it. Vierlanden Susanne by Wiehenburg resurfaced and I am proud to say that it only need one more medallion and it is finished also. The birth record that I started for my friends granddaughter is also finished and waiting to get framed. I window paned a stitched piece on a tote bag for my partner in the Summer Exchange for Needlecraft Haven and since she has received it I can post a picture, as well as the lovely little pillow that I received from my partner. Now I need to get busy on the next RR mailing, it is one of Margaret Sherry's Calendar Cats. I will post a pic when I have something to show. Here are the pictures --

Great stitching Dusty!
Sending get well wishes to your DH (but not hugs, they might not be a good idea with a fractured rib - ouch)

I love the Mighty Oak but especially Vierlanden Susanne. What thread(s) are you using on that, Dusty. Whatever it is it's lovely and subtle. Give DH a gentle hug from me :-)

Thanks for the comments ladies. I used Threadworx # 1157 Morning Meadows. I love the flow of colors , green and purple are my favorite colors anyway. DH is doing much better, at least the pain levels are going down.
