"Ida Mae Crow" - The Goode Huswife Finished
When the first time I saw this design online, I fell in love with this, and so when I found it at Japanese auction, I bought it immediately!
I love "The Goode Huswife" and have some charts, but it's the first time for me to stitch their design this time!

It was so fun to stitch this, the Symbol keys show that the crow is DMC #310 (black), but the sample photo doesn't look black at all, so I changed some colours!
I also changed flower colours as well. (I wrote the changes below of this post...)

I was unwell, but recently I have been doing better than before and this design made me very cheerful, so I could stitch this faster than usual.
I was thinking to use this frame for this in my mind, but I cut the fabric smaller, so I was worried if it fits for the frame, or I'd better to make mat for this, too?

But it just fitted perfectly, and I really love this result!
It turned so beautifully in this frame, I think!!

I'm so happy and satisfied of this!
I bought this frame on sale, and it was quite cheap! I was so lucky to found thid frame and had this in my stash!

I was also working on SWAP gift, and it was almost finish, but I don't think it's good enough, so I'm restarting to make one for my partner!
I hope it goes well at the end, and hope I will be able to post it in time!


By the way, thank you for your concern about my health, and sorry to have troubled you so much.
I have done all my check-up, and nothing wrong was found in my body.
So, come to the conclution, this symptons are all from the farmful side effect of my medicines that I have been taking so long, I was told.
I was suffering my backahe so much, but it has been better than before, so I can stitch nowadays! Thank god!

Slight fever is keeping me tired, but ces't la vie, the doctor told me that most of people who has been taking those medicines has been suffering kind of same symptons, so I should be patient until I will get better!
But thanks to all, I'm getting really better than before, I can't eat a lot at a time, but have been eating some many times in a day. I lost so many weights but I think I will be OK soon!

Thank you so much for your wishes, I really appreciate for your kind hearts!!
Thank you so very much everyone!

Take care and have a lovely weekend!
Thanks for visiting and Happy Stitching!

    It is so good to hear that you are doing better. And nice to see you are stitching again.
    I adore your Ida Mae Crow! She looks beautiful and your changes are awesome. Thanks for posting them. I have to go on a hunt for the chart. After seeing yours stitched up I have to have it :)

    Hi there Yuko :>)
    This is such a lovely piece of stitching and I really love the way you have framed it. What a great find that frame was. I think the colour changes are really successful. This little crow really has a character :>) What is she saying, I wonder LOL!

    The test results are such good news. Just keep resting and let the fever settle.
    Thinking of you, as always.
    Hugs Angela

    Ms. Ida Mae looks great! The frame is perfect for her.

    I'm at the restitch phase of an exchange project, too. It's really disappointing when the finishing doesn't come out as one had envisioned. :(

    Hope you're feeling well soon.

    ゆうちゃん、久しぶり☆
    また日本語でコメントしてごめん…-.-;
    自宅メールはいよいよダメだし修理もしてなくて。。。
    キルトにばかりはまっていたので
    ゆうちゃんにブログを引越したのをお話してなかったけど
    きっとゆうちゃんは知っている、と思っている私・v・♪
    さらにゆうちゃんとは連絡を取らなくても
    別に大丈夫!(何が?)という自信もあったりして(笑)
    私もいよいよステッチにもフラフラしてきて
    ブログにもたまにステッチが出てくると思います!

    この前チャートの整理をしたんだけど
    「あぁ~ゆうちゃん好きそう・・・持っているかな?」
    なんて思いながら整理してました((*^^*))

    そのうちまたメールします。
    会社の私用メールから♪
    〝Ida Mae Crow〟ワンピースのドットがとてもかわいい♪
    La-D-Daの〝This Is The Day〟を思い出しちゃったよ☆

    素敵な額がたくさんだね!!
    安く買ったと書いてあるようだけど
    一体どこで買ってるの~??
    体調悪かったのかな?
    薬の副作用??大丈夫??
    読んだらちょっと心配になっています。
    お互い元気に針仕事しようね!

    I'm not a big fan of crows, but this Mrs. Crow is so cute! The changes you made certainly made it more beautiful.

    Well, we don't know each other, but even though, I'm happy that everything's ok with you. I do hope you always be healthy and happy, as your blog says.
