It seems crazy that it's been so long, RIP Debbie. I still miss you.
My auntie has been in the emergency room almost exactly every four weeks for a year now. I finally agreed to start hospice and it's a nightmare. I can't believe I'm giving up on her but at this point I think the ER is going to kill her anyway. I've just been lolling around crying for the last couple of months. In some moments of sanity I stitch.
This is Sunflower Field from Oh My Stitches on Etsy:
It will look like this:
I started this in memory of my dad - it reminds me of all our camping trips and has a kind of retro vibe, it's Bear Walk by Lee Fisher of StitchyFish for Just Cross Stitch magazine:
I got some more done on Birds of a Feather:
And I started this map of Ukrainian needlework. I'm a volunteer docent at the House of Ukraine, a cultural museum, and they have a display of Ukrainian needlework, so when I saw this design it jumped out at me. People who know what they're doing can tell you what region of Ukraine the needlework is by the design. It's from Wonderland Ukraine.
This is a better picture of the design:
Kuna has my vibe:

Life sure gets hard at times, doesn't it? I have my uncle's funeral to attend tomorrow. He was 89 and died from a fall a week before. It's nice to pick up stitching though to calm the mind. Your new stitching is so pretty and bright, especially the Ukrainian piece😍
Claudette: I hope the hospice works out for her.
Sunflower Field is a lovely design, we have many farmers growing sunflowers, it is so pretty when they are in bloom.
What a lovely tribute to your Father, sweet design, I like the colors in it.
Congratulations on Birds of a Feather progress, I have bought things from Wonderland Ukraine in the past, they have many lovely designs and other items, Kuna is so adorable, thank-you for sharing with us his sweet photo.

so sorry for the loss of your Dad and hope that you get caring hospice care givers like we had with my daughter. I understand about the ER - It seems like I've spent a lot of time in there with my Dad and Mom, but hopefully we are on good ground now. Your stitching is wonderful!! And I miss Debbie too, she validated me working on several projects on our Saturday get-togethers.
