I hope your health issues are behind you and you are now feeling better, wow what a stunning update just brilliant

Thanks all. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility in November after being in constant pain for years. Along with depression and PTSD (which I've had for over 25 years) and problems at work this last year has not been great but I'm hoping I can overcome all of that. Cross stitching is helping to keep me focussed and calmer.

Happy stitching to you all

I'm sorry for your health problems, but I'm glad you've started stitching again. I know for me, stitching can be so therapeutic. I look forward to more updates on this beautiful piece.

Lovely

You are making great progress. He is going to be so beautiful. Sorry about your health, but glad you find stitching therapeutic. Good luck!

More very slow progress has been made. Now about half way done.

This piece is so breathtaking. As usual, HAED did a wonderful job of charting this piece. It seems to be coming along quite nicely. That is one beautiful horse.

Absolutely beautiful! So lifelike already!

This is so gorgeous I am at a loss for words to describe its beauty great work. I can't wait to see more

Very breathtaking!!! Great update!!

Since losing our furry daughter Roxy in May I completely lost interest in cross stitching. Finally picked it back up just over 2 weeks ago and yesterday completed page 6. So that's pages 1, 2, 3 and 6 totally completed and pages 4 and 5 half done.

I was away to post an update and noticed all my photos are gone so I'll post a few to recap.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. Such a gap is left when pets die.

Hope yo can find some peace in your stitching & look forward to seeing how you progress on this great project:)

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Roxie. Losing a beloved pet is very difficult but that is why there is a Rainbow Bridge. I hope that getting back to stitching helps ease your pain. This is such a beautiful design and you have made lovely progress on it. Looking forward to seeing the next update!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your stitching helps to bring you comfort. Your work is beautiful

After yet more very slow progress this is where I have got to. One more full page, half another page and 2 partial pages left to do. I am hoping to get this finished this year as I have been working on it for just over 2 years. I have just left my job of 10 years to start my own dog walking and pet sitting business so I should have plenty of time just now to stitch until the business gets going.

Awesome, amazing stitching

Gorgeous! And good luck with the new business

This is such beautiful stitching! Glad your stitching bug returned, but so sorry about the cause. Roxy was a lovely lab.

But new year, new business! Best wishes for it's success.

Beautiful update!! So detailed. Good luck with your new business! Wishing you lots of success!
