Rose Lights progress

I have been working industriously on Rose Lights for almost two weeks now, and am happy with the progress I've made:

All but one of the threads have been used, and I think they all look really good on the French Country linen.

I have made a small change in the black border to make it more symmetrical, since I realized when I got to the right side that a couple of the "sideways S" shapes had an extra stitch in them (circled in red):

It was the same on all four sides, but the longer I looked at it, the more it bothered me. It would have been more work trying to frog the two extra stitches, so I ended up adding a stitch to the rest and am much happier now.

Last night I spent about four and a half hours at the emergency vet (which is actually on the shorter side for a visit there) with my sweet Callie, who will be 17 this year:

It looks like she has a UTI, but there is also a concern about renal failure. I'll be following up with my usual vet in a couple of days; I'm hoping for the best but trying to prepare myself for bad news. While I waited last night I started a Mill Hill kit, Halloween, as it's always best to keep my hands and mind occupied in those situations:

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
