Remember my crying jaunt over not being able to eat grapefruit? Well, last month, I was talking about it with the new therapist. As I talked, he noticed that while explainingthe nightly grapefruit ritual, I used my hands a LOT. He said the hand-motions looked a lot like needlework motions. So he suggested I try needlework at night instead of grapefruit. He was 100% right!!! Its the PERFECT replacement for grapefruit. It turns out, it wasn't the food thing, it was what I was doing with my hands to peel and prepare the grapefruit.
Who'da thunkit???
ANYWAY..... my therapist recommended that I do some needlework at night to de-stress and relax. He probably thought I'd go out, buy a kit to do a little sampler..... little did the dr. expect me to design my own and stitch it!

I should be done in about a week.... and then I can start designing one of the girls' photos :D
PS: Funny how the lighting conditions changed the coloring of the fabric and such! The middle one was scanned, so I'd say that is closst to reality.
