Good Day for Stitching

It turned out to be a very good day for stitching.  I really didn't feel like going out or doing anything because of the chemo yesterday, so I stayed in my den and stitched a good portion of the day.  Today's piece was the Edwardian Garden Party SAL.  Here is my progress to date:

I did quite a bit on the tree and stitched Miss Lydia's face and hands.  I like to name the characters in the picture and give them a story.  My first guest at the garden party.is Miss Lydia Helmsley.  She is the only daughter of Baron Neville and Lady Agatha Helmsley.  She came to the party hoping a certain young man would be there and pay court to her.

I learned that my laptop has finally shipped.  It is coming direct from China.  You'd think that HP would at least warehouse them in the US.  It's too much to hope to find anything manufactured in the US anymore.

While I've been working on my computer today, my friend Shadow has been sitting on the back of my chair.  It is difficult to get a good picture of a black cat.  Especially when she doesn't want her picture taken.  She has grown up to be a beauty.  She'll be two years old in April.
