I have finished another part of the bandsampler I am making from the TAST stitches... Have been stitching in the garden, the weather is lovely over here today, around the 20 o C. Since my walking is very bad these last weeks, it was great being outside the whole day although I can't work in the garden. Tuesday I have an appointment for a bone scan in hospital, hope they will find out what is wrong........
Yesterday I received these two hearts from a swap on CQForNewbies, the hearts are made by Doris and Lori, lovely work ladies!

These whipped wheels, the stitch for TAST 2012 week 11, I mostly did this morning while watching the Grand Prix Formula I in Melbourne, Australia (which by the way my favorite Jenson Button won!).
These last weeks were very busy, my MIL was brought to hospital again and yesterday we finally moved her into a room in the nursery home she was waiting so long for. Although suffering from Alzheimer I hope she'll have some quality time over there.
Inbetween I managed to finish this sampler of running stitches and this needlebook. The last few weeks my knees are very bad, tomorrow I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, it seems my hips aren't OK also, I am certainly not looking forward to that..........

I just finished this oil painting. It is life-size, the poor calffinch found his death against a window....
