To all my English friends here and across the pond. To those who don't know, St. George is the Patron Saint of England. He's the famous one who slew the bad old dragon. The symbol worn today is the red rose, one of my favorites (the favorite being the lavender rose). My favorite statue of him is the one in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. He's pictured as a young man, quite well done by the artist. I think of him as one of "my" saints because I'm such an anglophile.To Julie, Elisa and all the special friends (including Midge and Mr. Moe): I hope it was a good one.
I finally managed to get the Traveling Stitcher put together. Not without its problems! I decided to make the case myself. First mistake. I used some fabby from my collection here. Second mistake: now that it's together I don't really like it. There is an extra case because of a stitching mistake. Third error. But it's all done and in my needlecase basket. It's getting so full now that I need to find a larger way of displaying them. OH, and for fun I corrected the grammar!
I've now got Loose Feather's Peacock Pinkeep kitted up and am ready to start it. The fabric is wonderful. Colors-well???? Not my favorite.
Anyway, that's about all going on here. My visit to the retina specialist wasn't so good. I had it figured all wrong, of course. I thought the problem might be from diabetes (I'm insulin resistant and I thought maybe I had crossed over) or perhaps MS. It's not, of course. It's a part of my heart disease. It's hell growing old!

LOL--a girl after my own heart, correcting the grammar! Your stitching case looks wonderful! I hope that as you get used to it, you see how pretty it is rather than the things you wished you'd done differently.
Sorry to hear about the eye trouble.
A gorgeous finish, it looks wonderful, i need to get mine out of the basket and get on with it. Not a lot of stitching going on here this week, too much gardening.
Bless you Marian, we thank you for thinking of us on out 'English day'
