happy Tuesday! winners, & back to stitching

from my last post,
"the yellow ones don't stop"
I had two folks answer my question before the cutoff time:
"ELF" was the answer,
so instead of just drawing one person as the winner
I'm sending both of them some quilt-y somethings!
Congrats, Terri and Cheryl!!!
I'm an ELF, the movie, fan,
and yes, I know it's silly/stupid/funny
but it makes me smile.
While I was in New York City a couple of weeks ago,
the movie scene came to mind:
Buddy the elf: "the yellow ones don't stop!"
And that made me smile!
Then I had a doorman ask me what I was smiling about,
and that made me smile more!!!
And, yes, I still am fighting FLU York;
I'm happy to report, I'm on the mend-FINALLY!
(thanks to those who've asked about my well-being)
It's been a doosey!
For fourteen days now I've felt,
 well,
like I have the flu.
(by the way:  if you feel like you have the flu, stay home!!!
My doc said this flu is contagious for 10 to 14 days!!!
and yes, I know that staying home for 2 weeks is boring,
but there are immune compromised people out there
who can't afford to contract this)
Sorry, down off the box now...
Anyway, 
Until yesterday, I didn't even stitch a single stitch!!!
Neither have I cooked! 
Now I know I was sick! -
no stitching & no cooking for two weeks!!!
Not like me.  Not like me at all.
Yesterday I felt a little more energetic,
so I grabbed my
A Gardener's Alphabet stitchery bag.
I finished the last few stitches on a few blocks... 
"Wx"-winter: just needed some berries
"Tz"-trellis: finished the zinnias' petals and french-knot centers

"Uv"-violets: needed the flowers stitched
  and
"Y"-yarrow: stitched the whole thing! (it's a small block!)
Now, I know they all need to be pressed,  
and that will come, eventually.
I'm just glad to say I'm getting back to some stitching!!
I may even cook something -
maybe tomorrow :)

  3. Glad you are feeling a little better and back to hand stitching. Somehow a needle in the hand of a quilter/stitcher works like magic for the soul. Don't tell anyone, but I'm an Elf fan also.
