Despite my doubts, I have successfully finished mum's birthday card - with a few days to spare (just as well, as I seem to be getting a migraine!). Next task will be a Valentine card and I haven't even chosen a design yet =S
Here's the stitched piece for mum's card....
And here's the completed card....
I'm very pleased with the result!

I hope you have a med that helps you. We finally hit on one a few years ago that sometimes helps, now it is the severe headaches that torture me with no relief.
Personally, i would also prescribe cuddling time (non-human, shoot non-living life forms) qualify as cuddle mates.

I take omega three capsules every day which make the migraines less severe, but I haven't found anything that will cure them. I have an anti migraine pill that sometimes works if I take it soon enough, so I've had one of those. We'll see. Either it will work or I'll have three days of potentially very bad head and eye pain. Maybe it will be a mild one.

I am sure she will enjoy it a lot!
Sending my good and warm wishes from a scorching Buenos Aires.

Date: 2013-02-01 09:55 pm (UTC)I hope so too. My head still aches, but it's no worse than it was so I'm hoping.
Mum just adores owls and so do I, so when I saw this design I knew I had to stitch it. It wasn't easy because I needed to make it smaller to fit on the card so I had to use higher count fabric. I think it was 18 holes per inch but it might have been 20... Also, the chart itself was printed rather small and my eyesight isn't what it was. Still, the card will go well with the pretty owl brooch I got her as one of her presents. I have a pair of earrings myself =)

Also hope your bad head doesn't develop into a full blown migraine. *hugs*
