This piece was so much fun to do. I had a hard time laying it down. When my sister-in-law asked me to do this for her birthday (later this month) I thought "Yea right! Of what year?" but once I started it I loved it. I also started my new piece a floral piece by EMS. I frogged a lot today on it but I think it'll be fine now.Update on Saturn. I was right he has Diabetes. I took him to the Vet and right away she looked into his ears and saw yellow said that indicated liver problems. I still wanted her to do the blood work. But for two hours I cried I was so scared for him. She called me two hours later and said he did have diabetes. And his liver and kidney were off but thought insulin would take care of that. So I'm giving him insulin shots twice a day. He is such a good cat I couldn't put him down or just let him live with it. He really is good about his shots. But he's smart, he has figured out when he's going to get the shot and doesn't want to get on the bed to let me but I give him the treats and he's there.
This Friday is my birthday. My sister's coming in to town and we'll run some errands.
I made the hard decision to leave the church I grew up in for another church. There were a lot of reasons but I just wasn't growing. I couldn't hear the Interm pastor's sermons. Plus there really was little service opportunities since our church was so small now. Long story but we went from over 200 people to under 100 then when the Pastor, Worship Director and Youth Director all left the end of Sept. more people left and there were about 50 at most. It's sad and heartbreaking. That church will always have my heart but it was time for me to move on. I wrestled with it for over a year. This church I can start serving soon. Just need to have some training Aug. 31
Oh did anyone like the new blogger? I hated it, couldn't figure out how to post a picture so I reverted back. Plus I hated that it didn't take me right to my reading list sites.
Well...until next time Happy Stitching!

Happy Birthday , and the bird stitch is beautiful .
Have a lovely week.
Birthday wishes. I love your stitching. And yes, I hate the new blogger too. hugs
Happy Birthday! The bird stitch is very pretty. I pray that the new church meets your needs and expectations.
I'm sorry that you had to leave your old church my friend, but not growing is a good sign that we do indeed need to start looking at other churches. Just keep in mind that you want a church that preaches the four gospels. The people that you loved in your old church will always be your brothers and sisters. I think you're making a good choice.
Sorry to hear about Saturn and the diabetes. Hopefully the shots will do the trick. Animals are smart one of our dogs is like that and goes to hide when it is time for us to do stuff for him.
It is a hard decision to come to about the church but when a lot of staff goes so do the parishioners. Hope you like the new church.
The Bluebirds look great. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
This is so pretty....I love this....
Have A Great Week Of Stitching

I just love birds. So beautiful
That is a lovely piece, such pretty birds.
I'm sorry to hear about Saturn, but glad is was figured out and it's something you can take care of yourself.
I hope you are happy in your new church, especially since you will be able to serve again soon.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday and were able to do something special.
I'm avoiding the new blogger for now!
