10/26/15 Stitch from Stash update

Hi All,

I haven't posted in quite a while.  My Stitch from Stash update for October is:
Spent zero
Earned $12.00

I have gotten to block 11 of Save the Stitches.  I have decided to stop at this level.  As I have stitched this, I have loved it, but I have been constantly wondering what I am going to do with it.  In its completed form it is 3 feet long.  So I decided to stop at this size and have it framed.  I have 2 little spots to do that I think will make it look complete to me.

As I was stitching it it popped into my head that it was like a snowflakes or ice crystals because no 2 blocks are the same.  That and the color of this reminded me of the glacier in Alaska.  It is blue because of the minerals in it.  So I am calling this my glacier ice crystals.



I framed my owl from last month too,




I haven't posted much because I feel like I am being so "woe is me",  My left hip is killing me with pain but I can't have surgery because of my weight.  I feel like I am constantly spiraling in a circle of pain.  Had a meltdown last week and took 2 days off work.  That is so not me.

Happy stitching in November.

    Love your owl, so cute :)
    Good decision to stop the blockscit looks finished to me
    Now time for a new start maybe ?
    Maybe something what inspirence you to get the weight down and finally get that operation
    When i wanted to loose weight i kept a food- walking diary
    Write down every day what i eat and how long i walked everyday
    I loved to make a healthy sandwich and took them with me on the walk
    Walked first one hour then sitting down on a nice bench enjoing my sandwich and walk back for 1 hour, you will notice that after a while you walk faster and further after a while
    Hopefully the weather is still alright with you so you can go outside to enjoy the outside air :)
    If 1 hour is to much just start with half hour
    Hope that you can make the switch and think about your self
    You deserve that operation
    Big hug from Holland
