I'm stuck

I hurt my back monday morning right after I got up ... doing nothing, just bending over to grab something ... (on a 30° angle) I guess I slept in a bad position ... Anyway, I feel a little better,not great but better.


I'm also stuck because I can't stitch on my fairy anymore ... See when I started to stitch that one, I realized I was missing the Caron waterlilly and when I talked about it on a bulletin board, someone told me I could replace it by a Caron wildflower and that's what I did. Big mistake !!! A wildflower is more like a pearl cotton so it cannot be use for backstitching : it's too thick ... I'm surprised nobody warned me on the bulletin board ... But I'm lucky: Patou, an incredible stitcher (check her blog: here ) ordered two of these threads so she's going to sell me one of her wildflower. But I stitched all I could do with the regular threads and the kreiniks and I have to stop right here: ( it is enlargable like always ):
And a larger view of the wings:
And I prepared my next project because I need to keep busy, right?
Thanks for your nice comments on my last post !!! It's so nice to read them !!!

I see you are cheating again. What? Only a small amount of green and metallic at a that. :-) I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you back straightens up soon. It will be a lovely finish when you get your Wildflowers color.
Love your thread colors for your new project.

I hope your back gets better soon. I'm really sorry to hear about the thread problems. Glad to hear you have friends like Patou to come to rescue.

You asked why I have stitched so many wolves lately. I decided to spend one year stitching only projects for ME. I love wolves and that's why I stitch them. I have stitched few cards so I haven't kept my decision and I'm currently planning to stitch something for my daughter next. I think I can't resist her kind request and we have had some troubles with her so maybe this brings us a bit closer again.
