Last update on Rose Lights for a while

I received a Mirabilia model last Friday, so I'll be putting Rose Lights away for the next couple of months. I feel like I've made good progress in the 3.5 weeks I've been working on it, so I'm reasonably confident I can still have it done before July. Here is my progress up until last Thursday:

I started the model on Friday, but then I received part 2 of Tiny Modernist's Poison Garden SAL on Saturday so I decided to take a few days to get that stitched; it should be done today or tomorrow, then I'll focus on the model.

Thanks for the good thoughts for my Callie, they were much appreciated. It turns out she does have chronic renal failure, which is not curable. I have to administer subcutaneous fluids every day, which is extremely stressful to me as it means poking a needle in her back and trying to hold her still while squeezing the fluid bag long enough to get 100ml into her. It's easier when my husband is home, so he can hold her and I can work the bag, but really difficult to do by myself when he's traveling for work. I've switched her over to prescription food, which she went after pretty well for a few days, but now isn't very interested in. I don't yet know how long she'll be with us, but I'll do my best to keep her comfortable and wait for her to tell me when it's time to say goodbye.

So grateful that I have stitching to help me through the difficult times.
