I finally constructed a stitched piece

Hello Everyone: I finally finished constructing a design I stitched on November 22, I am so happy with this adorable design, the Heart Pinkeep will hang on my tree for Christmas.
I used a light pad to align the fabric and linen to get the right finish.
I have had problems aligning the fabric sometimes, I thought that the light would help and it did.
I stuffed them both with crushed walnut shells,

 
I had a ball at the Christ Child Luncheon yesterday, we sold all out of the baked goods, I make a donation but came home with no goodies, I will be baking for Christmas soon, so no goodies to tempt me.
 
I have some news which may or may not be good, I need to see a ENT I have a large mass in my throat, please pray for me that it is only a gland or thyroid  problem and not a tumor, so sorry for the bad news, I will be going in on the 18th for a consultation then they will decide if I get the camera down the throat, ewwwww, I am being optimistic about this, whatever God hands me I will handle with Grace.
 
Time to stitch, then Mass at 5:oo and my date night out with Mike.
 
Blessings
To you All
Happy Holidays
Catherie

Dear Catherine...you are in my thoughts and prayers my dear friend. I know how scary this is but there are so many reasons why this could have happened. So think positive. We will all pray that this is a minor thing and your doctor will take care of it.

Your finishes are beautiful. I love both of them. I want to hear more about the light method...do you buy something special? Take care Catherine. I will be in touch. RJ

I adore that little heart. Yes the light helps tremendously. I hold mine up to a window!

Getting a camera down your throat isn't as bad as it sounds, take it from me. But I do hope whatever they find is easily solved. --annavsxs

I'm sorry to hear about your throat. I hope and pray that it is nothing serious. Good idea to use a light box to line up your stitched pieces. They turned out well.

Praying all goes well with the ENT Catherine. So glad to hear that the bake goods sold out, I hope your church raised plenty of money.

Beautiful finishing on your stitching.
