I have been writing so little and participating on forums even less because my dad is sick and I’m really sad about his decisions about this matter. Cancer has been in my family over an over, my elder son pass away when he was 5 because of that, my mother an my grandmas too, you can add into the equation several cousins, now you can imagine how I feel about my dad and his stubbornness of do nothing.
My works has been affected with highs and lows, sometimes it helps me to think about other things, sometimes it’s just impossible for me to concentrate in something else, but I managed to stitch something and to start finishing pieces.
I made progress on My Neighborhood, this is my yesterday’s picture
The freebies that I stitched on this occasion were
Caramel House from Des fils defilent
All Our Yesterdays’ Blue Balloon ( I mirror image it and stitch it again in red) from Cross Stitcher Magazine.
and Love House Sampler from Cyberphenicia.
I did three little finishes but they are presents that I owe so when they arrive to their new homes I’ll try to show them to you.
I also finished my Shepherd’s Bush “She Tends”
I used Vonna’s instructions to finish it and I’m really please with the result. If you don’t know Vonda’s finishing blog yet, go and pay her a visit. I’m pretty sure you will love her easy to follow, full pictures explanations.

Aury, I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through. And I hope I’m not being insensitive when i say this (you can delete if you want) look at it from his perspective. He’s been through it with you as well all those times and maybe doesnt want to fight it. Make as many good memories as you can in the time that you have and say goodbye to him on his terms rather than your own if thats what he wants. We are here for you to come and moan at when things get rough and we will pray for you and all the family to get through it. God bless

Sorry about your Dad but you have to let him do what he wants unless he is not able to. I had to let my Mom go last year but she was 90 and it wat what she wanted. Now off my soap box.
Love the My Neighborhood you made so great choices and put them together just right.
Love the finish on the other one, the color is perfect.
