What's Up?

Wow!  It's hard to believe that's it's been a month since I updated my blog.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to update this more often.  I do have a good excuse though (I think).  I not only have been dealing with Valley Fever but now I have a shoulder problem as well.  Someone just shoot me, please!  Seriously, I've had a tremendous amount of pain and tightness in my left shoulder for about a month now.  I've been going to a massage therapist and I have an appointment with an orthopedist in late January but it has slowed my stitching considerably.  But I keep on keeping on and hopefully will at least finish Sherrie's Christmas present before Christmas.  I'll post a picture of it after Christmas since I'm not sure if she reads my blog or not.  I do want it to be a surprise for her.  But she's been coming home almost every weekend now and that cuts into stitching time. 

Ive been thinking a lot about next year.  I think I want to continue my program where I try to finish some UFO's.  I'm also planning to participate in the Quaker Gone Tropic SAL that is staring in January.  I have the fabric and all the fibers and just have to mount it on my scroll bars.  Then there's Lizzie Kate's Inspirational series that I love.  So many patterns, so little time. 

I also want to continue reducing my stash.  I started selling things on ebay again and was pretty successful at it over the summer.  I just have way too much stuff and will never get to most of it.  So all the patterns I culled out a couple of years ago will be going up for sale.  It is amazing how much you accumulate over the years.  And equally amazing how our tastes change.  What I liked 10 years ago I wouldn't look twice at today. 

So what's on your agenda for 2012?

Take care of yourself girl. A frozen shoulder would not be a good thing.
I look forward to seeing your secret Christmas stitch.
I hope to get to see you this winter.
Can you send me a link to your stash sale?
hugs

I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. I have same problem since early July... Mid January I'm scheduled for an MRI. Maybe that will help with a correct diagnose. I think that in my case the problem is a pinched nerve and that's why it is taking so long. I still can't lift my left arm but the pain is much lesser. Good luck my dear.
