I didn't sleep well last night & then woke very early this morning. While sitting in my recliner I thought I'd have a bit of Christmas & open one of the packages still under the tree. I chose to open the gift my friend Paula sent to me. She lives in Portugal. She used to have a blog & I hope she will again one of these days : ) Sadly I forgot to take a photo of the package before opening it but here is what was inside!
I love the star with the little deer motifs, & look how thoughtful she was to remember how much I enjoy tea! Both of us do actually : ) I will really like using this bookmark. The item on the right is a little gift tag that was hanging on the outside of the package. So pretty! Thank you again Paula : )
I have no stitching to share with you today : ( I tried working on the Festive Redbird last night but I was having so much swelling & pain that I just couldn't concentrate. After speaking with the endodontist yesterday he contacted the pharmacy & ordered a different pain medication for me ... a heavy duty narcotic, God bless him! Unfortunately the pharmacist was backed up & unable to fill the prescription until this morning so I had to make do with the milder one I initially had. I've always considered myself as having a high pain threshold . I avoid medication when I can but I couldn't wait to get this one ... lol!
I am excited that this weekend is the first IHSW of 2013!
Hopefully I will be feeling better & can finish my redbird & start something new, whatever that might be. I received my Stacy Nash booklet in the mail today so maybe I'll stitch that stocking ornament I fell in love with : ) Tomorrow I go back to the endodontist to get my stitches out & hopefully all will be well on that front.

What a sweet gift from Paula! I hope the pain medication kicks in and you're feeling better soon.
Yey! We can hermit and stitch a whole weekend! Congrats on the lovely gift from Paula.
A very lovely ornament from your friend. Hope you are feeling better and up to stitching and hermitting this weekend!
I am glad Paula's lovely gifts brighten a spot of your day. A shame you had to wait for heavier meds. I tell you, I would have breathed down the pharmacist's neck til I had them in my hot, little hand!!
Take care. Enjoy the new eye candy booklet. Praying for you.♥
Oh, Shirlee, it must be awful to be in such pain... I hope the stronger meds have kicked in by now...
Lovely gift from Paula--I love those JBW designs!
Take all the medicine you need to, till it erases the pain! You shouldn't have to suffer! What a nice gifty! This weekend is a THREE day one for me, and if we are blessed--four, from snow tomorrow... though it doesn't look promising here in SE Virginia! Sigh! I will pray for an easy appointment tomorrow! Hugs!
Paula's gifts were superb & I hope they cheer you up a bit. Good luck with today's appointment & remember the stronger prescription is on its way!!! You'll be so high & pain free, you'll sail through your stitching :D
What a lovely gift from Paula!
I hope that the swelling is going down and you have gotten some sleep.
Hugs
