After getting my hair done on Saturday I sat and stitched for a few hours on Winter Queen. Sunday was spent at work the whole day, and yesterday was spent in agony hobbling around at work with an agonising back. Thankfully I had a chiro appointment last night, so I was sent home with instructions to put an ice pack on my lower back followed by some Anti-Flamme ointment, and today thankfully it is quite a bit better. I was so chirpy last week ‘cos I’ve had more energy than I’ve had for at least 6 months … but apparently this is to be expected in the initial stages of the therapy. Still, I feel so much better within myself, the $1000 is worth every cent so far! 🙂
As for Winter Queen, she’s grown a wee bit since the last photo, and I put a teeny bit more into her again last night too as Katie and I sat and watched another 2 episodes of Supernatural Seas0n 1 … just can’t get enough of that show! Anyway, just before I jump in the shower, here’s a quick update piccie – sorry but these update piccies are quite boring, as you can hardly see that much improvement thanks to the lovely blocks of white … can’t wait to get to a nice blue to stitch with 😉
Now for my own benefit, to make me feel like I’ve actually made some progress, I’ve included the before and after shots again… starting with the “after”:
Before
Feather Stitching 
It’s good that you are feeling better 🙂 It looks like you got a good chunk of that white done! I agree though, that is as much fun to stitch as a colored section.
She’s beautiful…I started her years ago, abandoned her…would love to start her up again, but am afraid of trying to find my place on the pattern amidst all that white. I wasn’t properly marking my process …
I think you’re making nice progress!
I’m glad that you are happy with your chiropractor.
She is looking stunning! Great progress.
I see the progress and with all that white you sure have done well.
This piece will be so pretty when completed. Keep at it. 🙂 It’s nice to hear you are feeling better after your therapy. 🙂
Looks great Anne! Shes gonna be gorgeous!
You’re doing great on this! But I understand about the white 🙂
Wow, what incredible progress!!

A friend of mine has done the series, they look really lovely in her lounge.
You will love her finished.
She’s looking wonderful Anne!
I think you have made great progress on winter queen!
Of all the Mirabilia in my stash right now, this is my favorite one by far. I love watching her progress, even if it is only in white trim. 🙂 Good job!
she is looking good. I am seeing slow progress on mine as well with all of the white.
