New work

Hello Again, still taking it easy but slowly adding more activity. I go to docs next week and really expect a good progress report. I can barely detect the spot in my eye now. I think it really shrunk! In other news, my thyroid is refusing to cooperate and I guess it's going to take a bit to get it under control, but that and a severe Vitamin D defeciency explain most of my fatigue away. I think by this time next month I will be well on my way to a new me!
SO I did another dye batch this weekend. Lots of luscious colors of floss. I recreated some oldies but goodies and also added on a few new ones. Here is a pic of a few of them and when I finally get them all wrapped and processed they will eventually make their way into my shop:


I also started a new embroidery piece. This one is for me! Hubby is taking me to the mediterranean again next month. We are going to the same place we went a few years back and I just adored it. So I wanted a pretty top to wear while I walked on the beach so this is it! It will be all white cotton gauze but I am embroidering the yoke. Here is a peek at my beginnings.


I have the pattern sketched out and the paisleys placed. Today I start stitching! I really hope I can get it done in time.
