Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

one thing my doctor recommended for my neck issues is to wear a cervical collar as it takes the stress off the neck trying to hold everything up. it allows the neck to relax which can be especially helpful while stitching.

That's simply gorgeous.

...Of my stitching! I get home at 6pm and after dinner and "chores" there's no time to stitch 'cause I get up at 5!! If I try to stitch a little before bed I end up staying up way too late.... I make good progress on the weekends but nothing else gets done...*sigh*..... I just want to stit...

This is one of my favorites. You are doing such a great job....it's beautiful.

I looked but could not find the explanation of the icons next to posts. They all look like lined paper with various marks on them. I have a strong feeling that I'm going to feel silly when I find out.

Just an update. I used a rag and some laundry soap and dabbed at only the places that needed cleaning. Then rinsed the same way. Worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions.

It is now finished, waiting on the birth to add the name. Will post when all finished and framed.
