A Stitchin' Post

Here is my progress on my granddaughter's Christmas stocking. Wrinkles and all! I'm hoping to finish this by May 15th. We'll see. I'm making better progress the past two days because I get in two solid hours of stitching at night. My husband is watching the Marvel movies in chronological order on Disney+. I have no desire to see the movies, so I sit there and stitch. Of course I can hear them and he fills me in on stuff while I say "oh, wow" and "aww" and "I understand". hahaha!

A Stitchin' Post

In November 2007 one of my best friends was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a blood/bone cancer. She was 39 years old at the time. Over the past 13 years she has battled this cancer; enduring chemo treatments, radiation treatments, two stem cell transplants, and multiple bone marrow biopsies. She is the bravest person I know.

Late in 2018 the chemo treatment she was on became ineffective so in January 2019 she began a new regimen. Every Friday for eight weeks she spent five hours in the chemo room. Then it dropped to every other Friday for eight weeks, then every fourth Friday. I am so privileged in that I get to accompany her to chemo and sit with her during her treatment.

She sleeps for most of that time and I cross stitch. I chose several small projects that I only work on during chemo sessions.

This is one of my (chemo) finishes:

It's a freebie that I picked up somewhere on fabric that I can't identify using DMC threads mounted on a paddle I picked up at a local collectible shop.

How's that for helpful details?! haha

All together I completed four small projects in 2019 and will share them as I "finally" finish them.

My friend is doing great! This combination of drugs is working. I'm praying it continues to for a long time.
