Life’s Good!

YaY! Great progress with my eyesight this last week. I can see a lot more detail now and colours are so much more radiant! I can even take sharp photos without having to wear glasses.

A couple of finishes to share…

And just for the fun of it, I stitched myself a pair of country style pincushions. A stitcher can never have too many of these …
