NOW, FIRST OF ALL DONT GET MAD AT ME!

These are spectacular! I've thought about getting this design, and now you have made my decision for me LOL

Just love these, and everything else you manage to get made, in spite of all your pain/discomfort. Your luncheons may be what your home friends look forward to, but your Cutie friends also enjoy seeing your table set. Great work my friend!

Chris, when I read yr post, I had a giggle! You sound sooooo much like me! haha Beautiful work as always! Hugs!

Thanks Vicki I appreciate your comment love ❤️ Chris

Oh Chris, this is wonderful. I can understand you; your head was full of ideas what to do and then the doctor says "No, you are not allowed". But this is extra creative to work standing instead of sitting. That's what they recommend to the office people if their back hurts. Very clever. Wishing you getting better quickly. <3 and Hugs - Maria

Thanks so much Lynn, I am so looking forward to this luncheon. Haven't seen half of these ladies for most of the year! Love Chris

My best friend is moving house on the 1st December and will only have been in her place for 4 days before having to come up here and it's about a 2 hour drive for her!! Then another 2 back down to her place. I'm going down to see her in the new year, can't wait. The new place is amazing on 5 acres! Love Chris

Great job on these Chris. I hope your back hasn't taken too much strain.

You too dear Dilceia. I hope all your Christmas 🎄 decorations are finished for your town. Can't wait to see what you've done this year. Love Chris

You are smart finding a way to be still able to enjoy your hobby. Lucky ladies that will be able to attend your luncheon.

Thank you so much for commenting and I see you are a new Cutie. I'm getting better every day and am looking forward to next Thursday when I'm going to go to a Hydrotherapy pool to do exercises. Doing my daily ones that she has already given me and they are helping immensely!

Once again a big Aussie welcome from me, love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

Beautiful Chris! I have always said if you want to, you'll find a way. Just try not to do anything that will impede your healing/ Hugs! Lillian

Thanks so much Jo, love Chris

I have a lovely set of drawers in my sewing room that I would put my embroidery machine on if I couldn't sit at it.
Have you tried that, raising the height of your machine by putting it somewhere else?? :-)
Lovely work, as usual, and don't do them all at once. We want you upright and well for the luncheon with the ladies and Christmas with the family.

Good morning Pat, thanks for the hint. I have a sewing table that is higher than where the Husqvarna usually sits. I haven't tried it yet. A few of you have suggested raising the machine, but I can stand with this design as it only takes about 30 minutes to make. I've nearly finished them. Love Chris

Were there`s a will there`s a way, as we say ! I`d do the same thing as you Chris, lovely work as usual , pray for a speedy recovery,, hugs Trish

Thanks Brenda, yes I'm sure they will love them. And I'm doing my best to look after myself. Love Chris

Now, are you going to tell Santa that you were naughty or nice? I vote for nice! These napkins are wonderful and worth every bit of pain that they might cost you!

Thanks Penny, but they are not napkins, they are Cutlery holders, Knife, fork and dessertspoon! Love Chris

I haven't had the best year with my health issues, so I hope he will be kind to me!

by pennyhal2 25 Nov 2016

Oh gosh! I missed reading that little link at the bottom! I'm collecting cultery holders at the moment, so thanks for the link!

You are a fabulous gal and I'm sure Santa will put you on his verynice/special/fabulous person list.

Absolutly beatiful Chris. Have to admit I stand most of the time when I do embroidery.. You just take care. XXX

Well, I was going to scold you, but since you made these standing and they are so beautiful...I can't!

Thanks Kim, I feel repentant! Love Chris

Beautiful work. Years ago after a whiplash injury my Chiropractor gave me a weigh that hangs from the shoulders. I had to sit all day at work which is why he recommended it. Then I saw it at JoAnn's in the notions department. They still have it. You may want to ask your therapist about using something like this. http://www.joann.com/body-rite-po...

I'm ahead of you there! I already have a back support on my chair and a bicycle shaped cushion. Either of them don't do much, but I'll try anything! Thanks for commenting and giving me the link, love Chris

Thanks Chris, yes, they will fit in with all the Holly theme I have this year for my ladies luncheon. My Christmas table will look beautiful. Love Chris

These are very pretty Chris. They would be a lively addition to my table this year as well, with the holly design. Small projects like this are quick to complete, so as long as you pace yourself, you should be fine.

Thanks, yes and they are so easy to do. I hope you get a chance to make some, if you buy the design. Love Chris

What do they say? "You can't keep a good woman down". Where there's a will, there's a way. The luncheon is still on Didi, it's on the 12th December and would you believe the weekend before my luncheon I'm at the Newcastle Synod, so Trev will have to set up the back room with the table and chairs etc. I'm decorating the house this weekend as its the first week of Advent and the official time to put up your Christmas tree and decorations. Can't wait just love ❤️ Christmas, love ❤️ Chris

Please be careful... These are really pretty...

Thanks Kathy I am being careful. ❤️ Chris

Lovely work Chris. I too stand to sew (some of the time) and if your machine is on a higher surface it makes it so much easier

by pennifold 24 Nov 2016

I was thinking of all of you ladies whilst making these Caroline and how some suggested I stand. Lucky our machines have a push button to start. I'm being careful. ❤️ Chris

Forgot to tell you these are Cutlery holders.
