Here but on brief hiatus.
Younger daughter and her appendix are not on speaking terms right now. The three of us have been resident at Children’s Hospital in Boston since the 14th. She’s on the mend, but slowly.
I’ve been occupying some nap hours to stitch, and progress on the blackwork sampler will be posted when I’m back at String Central, equipped with the proper cameras and software. In the mean time, feel free to explore past posts via the Categories list at the right.

Sorry to hear that, K. I hope YD is doing better every day!
Oh goodness, very best wishes to Younger Daughter for quick and thorough healing! And good thoughts to y’all, because it’s very worrying when one of your own is ill.
Given how quickly people are sent home from the hospital these days it sounds like your daughter has had a very serious episode. I wish her fast recovery. I know this must have been scary for you and the whole family. I wish you all well.
Hope you and your daughter are feeling better now, oddly enough my younger daughter, though she is 25, also got rushed into hospital in March and ended up loosing her appendix. She complained about the slow recovery, it took a while for them to work out it was her appendix and by then it was a bit bad but she was surprised that she was bent double and hurt to move after the Op, but now after 6 weeks she is feeling back to normal.
