Back to sewing
My last surgery was yesterday and went well. I was able to come home last night, because I have such good care takers.
so, I am back to the sewing room and getting to try out the light my granddaughter gave me for Christmas. It has been a long time, but it will get lots of use now.
I don't speak French but isn't his just beautiful? I found it on pinterest and know it breaks the language barrier. I could just gaze on it for hours.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I am sending a rose today to everyone that needs one. so many times we go through things not of our choosing. Just know that at such times God is there. A prayer for you.
I want to thank all for the prayers when I was down. It lifts you up in away that is hard to express.
Wow, the last post was Sept 30th. That is a long time ago and a lot has happened to me since then.
The good of all of it, is I am recovering and getting stronger by the day. Right now I am dealing with dizziness but am hoping they find the cause soon.
To help pass the healing time I am doing samplers of smocking. Not just samplers but a new to me method of smocking. Instead of working across the rows, this method had you working vertically, down the rows. Getting a grip of the new method does take some getting used to.
My first sampler:
Hitting the hobby wall
So much has happened in such a short amount of time. It really knocked me for a loop. As I sit here now I am trying to remember the last thing I created. I think it was the quilt I made for my granddaughter who is now five months old.
My cancer, which I am glad to say remains in remission. Followed by my husbands heart attack and by pass surgery and a move I never wanted to take, adds up to a very high wall.
I wish I had a step by step for you if you have also encountered the wall. I don't!! All I know is keep climbing you will find yourself getting closer to the top.
Today, is a brand new day that is finding my hobby plate filling up.
Right now, I actually have work in the embroidery machine. I have a little dress for my granddaughter on the sewing table, so I am hoping that by this evening I will be able to look back at the day and say "well done".
I found a letter from you today. It made me happy, it made me sad.
I miss you so very much.
Most of all it took away the distance if only for a little while. I will forever treasure the notes, cards and letters we shared.
Especially now, it is fall that is when we talked the most. Gardening was done and all the fall fun was about to happen.
We had time for each other.
As some of you know we are down sizing. Now, downsizing and moving are completely different. When you move, you pack up your belongings and 'move' them. When down sizing you pack up your belongings and take them to goodwill! Down sizing means going through everything one piece at a time, do you want it? need it? Is it for trash day or donate. It has been amazingly hard for me.
So today, still going through things I came across a letter from my sister, who has passed away from brain cancer. For awhile she was back, for awhile I was spending time with her, I could hear her voice through the letter.
