I do like the changes you've made to the piece. I like personalizing pieces to make them unique - nobody else in the world has exactly that same piece.<br /><br />LOVE the spiderweb roses - specialty stitches may sometimes be tedious and tricky, but they add such interest to a piece.<br /><br />Glad you were able to visit the Currituck Lighthouse. It was one of our first stops on our OBX honeymoon and it's such a beautiful, peaceful setting. And I even found a cross stitch chart in the gift shop that we brought home as a souvenir.<br /><br />Leave it to you to have rare and exotic health issues. :-) Hope you're feeling better by now!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432778814708875811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-26440829166079577592014-09-18T16:08:27.333-04:002014-09-18T16:08:27.333-04:00You certainly made up for not blogging more in Aug...You certainly made up for not blogging more in August!

I have every one although they aren't all stitched! Those spider stitches look perfect! Sorry about the medical issues, I'm a hygienist, although only do Ortho for 30 years and I can say I've heard of external resorption, but haven't seen it.

Lighthouses are amazing to me and I love seeing the variety of lighthouses around the world. I really hope your health issues go away. They don't sound very common and no, I won't google photos! That's usually the worst thing to do! Take care my dear!<br /><br />hugsAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102636394805433263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-9171752460005732272014-09-10T09:24:44.053-04:002014-09-10T09:24:44.053-04:00I know how it is to be away from blogging and blog...I know how it is to be away from blogging and blog reading . It's good for a while but when you start missing to hear from all these people it's time to come back. I have been away from the computer since my last blog post but since today I'm back, too.<br /><br />Your new ornaments are so gorgeous, particularly the new PS Santa. He's such a sweet guy and it's the first time that I see him stitched. I even haven't bought the chart. Yet. Like you I finish all my PS Santas with some red cording, I like them best this way. And yes, you are not the only one with a huge box full of unfinished stitched pieces. I had to give up stitching for a while if I tried to finish my pieces in a row, lol. I'm looking forward to seeing what you will pull out of that box next. Btw, your roses on Lois' scissor finder are so perfect. Great job.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing all these wonderful pictures from the family get-together in North Carolina. What a wonderful place this is. Everyone must have felt like in paradise.<br /><br />I'm sure that you could get along great without the fact that you are a rarity concerning your health problems, lol. I hope that the rash will stay away for as long as possible and that your next root canal is a normal one - or let's hope that you won't have one anymore.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-35014372799033895352014-09-06T17:53:53.242-04:002014-09-06T17:53:53.242-04:00Hi Carol, I've been away for 10 days and retu...Hi Carol, I've been away for 10 days and returned to find your post. Your PS santa ornament is perfect. It makes me want to start decorating for that season (but not what else goes with it!) I am impressed with your first try at spider web roses. Again a perfect finish. And such beautiful beach pictures. I agree with you about quite time. It must be so very special to spend that time with family in such a beautiful place. Hope you are doing well. Until next time...<br /><br />Judy Heartland stitcherJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935481774621106792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-85029569560816482212014-09-06T10:55:19.139-04:002014-09-06T10:55:19.139-04:00carol I'm sorry to hear some of your summer wa...carol I'm sorry to hear some of your summer was taken up with health issue!

I always have something weird and wonderful wrong with me! ;0) On a serious note, when we lost our baby girl, the condition she had was a 1 in 100,000 occurrence so lots of doctors wanted to be present during the scans I had. I did feel like a guinea pig at times, but if it means that families don't have to go through what we went through, it doesn't seem like too much of an imposition. <br />Your holiday looks fabulous. We haven't taken a family holiday abroad since Iris was 5 months old. We are going to be brave next year and book a holiday to Malta. It's a home away from home for me and I feel bad that the children have never visited the island.<br />Love your finishes. I am always in awe of your finishes on 40ct. The santa on black is so adorable.
