WIP Wednesday

Hey Blog Buddies,

Here lately I've been working on only two projects, so I thought I'd catch you up on the one you haven't seen yet.  But first, a Molly update.

She's Not Happy

First she had to go "under the knife"

and now there's this indignity.

She doesn't wear it all the time,

only at night and those infrequent times

that we need to leave her alone during the day.

I'm convinced she would chew open her stitches

if left to her own devices.

But other than hating her collar,

she is fine and acting like her old self.

Today we received the pathology report from our vet.

There's good news and bad news.

The bad news is that her growth was malignant.

The good news is that the vet removed

the entire thing (including one of her nipples!),

was happy with the margins,

and feels that the surgery will be "curative."

Let's hope so.

Back to the WIP.  A little while ago I showed this blackwork chart that I wanted to start...

...Blackwork Journey's Wandering Star.

Looking at the black-and-white chart above, 

it took me a while to figure out the star reference.

So I thought I'd make the stars a different color.

I will admit that some of the

filling patterns in this piece

almost make my head explode,

but I'm happy with how it looks so far.

That's it from here.

Hope your February is going along swimmingly.

Thanks for stopping by.
