Wedding Sampler Update...

It's not going to be finished in time!!! ARGH! 

I've had a really bad wrist over the last two weeks, which has meant that I haven't been able to stitch as much I needed to. So frustrating! I think having a job that involves sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day and then concentrated stitching on top of that has caused the problems. Thankfully it's easing off somewhat now, but it has been hard to use a mouse which has caused a few problems at work. I've been using various support gloves and bandages which have been helping a bit...

Now that I've managed to get stitching again it's coming along really well - I'm sure I'll get the actual stitching done by the wedding, but it won't be framed for the Wedding Day (only 2.5 weeks now!!). I'm hoping to get it professionally framed whilst they're on their honeymoon, but I'm not sure it will be the same (grrrrr) as I was really hoping to give it to them on the day. It's probably better to do it that way and not cause any more damage to my wrist (or make any major mistakes), but I'm so very disappointed. I'm pretty sure that I would have got it done in time otherwise. I blame work entirely.

I have also heard that there's another wedding on the way in May - I'm never going to get a sampler finished for then, but I think I will attempt one and give it to them later on - when else will I get the chance to stitch a dragon for a wedding sampler?! More news on this one after 'His Lordship's' wedding in a couple of weeks ( I can't wait - I'm so excited!!). I promise pics!!!!

I used to have issues with my wrists from working in a supermarket. Best thing to do is take a pain reliever and take a break from that which causes the pain.

I look forward to seeing your finished sampler! Feel better soon!!
