Cross Stitch, Stash

Darn those migraines!

Been chewing Nurofen Migraine tablets today, and have to say they do nothing … will stick to normal Nurofen in the future!  My headache has gradually continued to get worse throughout the day, so I opted to call it a day at 2.45pm while I could still drive OK … not even the arrival of my SB&B stash-fest order could cheer me up ho-hum.  I did, however, manage to hunt through the latest JCS Xmas ornie magazine and work out which ornies I’d like to stitch.  My favourites, along with a couple of ‘maybe’ ornies are as follows:

Pages 10-11:
Definite – Cherished Stitches; The Sweetheart Tree
Maybe – Legacy Designs; Blackbird Designs

Pages 12-13:
Definite – Casey Buonaugurio XS Designs; CCN; Primrose Needleworks

Pages 14-15:
Definite – Prairie Schooler
Maybe – The Victoria Sampler; Julia Lucas Designs

Pages 16-17:
Definite – Full Circle Designs; Cindy Valentine Designs
Maybe – DebBee’s Designs; Glory Bee

Pages 18-19:
Definite – Sue Hillis Designs; The Workbasket
Maybe – Ink Circles

Pages 20-21:
Definite – Wildflower Stitchery & More

Pages 22-23:
Definite – My Mark

Pages 24-25:
Definite – Loopy Lou Designs
Maybe – Patricia Ann Designs; Rosewood Manor

Pages 26-27:
Definite – Charland Designs; Dragon Dreams

Pages 28-29:
Definite – The Cat’s Whiskers Design Studio; Kitty & Me Designs
Maybe – Erica Michaels

Wow, not all that many that have bowled me over and made me ‘itchin to stitch’ … maybe I’ll review the issue again when I’m feeling a bit perkier.

I’ll take a photo of the entire stash-fest later … most of it you’ve already seen, but I had a few MH Treasures and AVAS silks thrown in for good measure … very lovely 🙂

Now it’s time to get off the computer again and rest for the arvo before this migraine settles in for good for the night!  Guess there’s no stitching for me again tonight! 😦

  1. Anne, Migraines are not good. Have you gone to the doctor? If i need to drive up there and take you I will. Nothing worse thaqn a Migraine. XX Kathy

  2. I was just thinking the other day that it’s been awhile since I heard you were suffering from migraines – I’m sorry that one has been bothering you. Take care!

  3. Hope the headache clears soon, Anne. I know what its like to suffer from these nasty things. I still haven’t found a copy of the JCS Ornie issue…..I can’t wait!!!

  4. Hi Anne. Came here after following a link from Nicki’s blog. No the Nurofen Migraine do nothing, they are still just plain ibuprofen. In Australia you can buy Nurofen Plus which have codeine added to them and they are better. But if you can get tablets that also have Doxylamine succinate in them, that works even better. I haven’t found them yet in the UK, I think I’ll have to ask a dr about them. But when I get a migraine I find that two tablets that each have 25mg of this in combined with two tablets with a good hit of codeine in them do the trick well. Beware though that these will knock you out. People use doxylamine succinate as a sleeping tablet (they are a muscle relaxant which is why they help with the migraines).

    Hope that helps for the next time you get one.
