Sarah Elizabeth Brooke 1842 Reproduction Sampler Work in Progress

Here is the latest progress on Sarah Elizabeth Brooke 1842 Sampler.   Now all I have is the grass, sidewalk and the text to finish this wonderful project.  My husband is building me a beautiful frame for it and I am so excited.  The over 1 stitching for the text  is a new experience for me on 40 ct. and thankfully it is going in for me.  It is a bit tedious but really adds!!

Today has been such a wonderful day.  We had a poor little chick get picked up by a hawk but I managed to scare the hawk and he dropped the little chick.  It was injured, stunned and bleeding on Sunday when this happened.  We brought it in, put it in a box with a towel and took care of it.  My dh helped me feed and give this poor baby water yesterday.  I medicated her injuries right away with a little penicillin in some water.  It couldn't even hold it's head up yesterday but this morning it was peeping, and holding up it's little head wanting it's momma.  This poor little momma hen (Broodie)  has wanted a baby for a long time and got just this one to hatch.  We have a brooding house and screened in area that they are in now, so since this little one is doing so much better, we took the box out to the brooding area, which is totally safe, and momma hen heard her baby.  You should have seen this wonderful reunion.  Both are so happy back together and pecking and digging in the ground in this safe screened area for them.   What a miracle it was to see this and for this chick to have survived such an attack.   Thank you Jerry, my husband for your help feeding and watering and just helping me in every way!!  :))
