I finally feel back in the land of the living. It has been a few hard weeks. The surgery went well, I am walking without aids, the knee looks good. The only thing was - I got an infection in hospital and battled that as well for the past few weeks and it was stubborn and made me feel miserable, but we seem to have found the right antibiotic and I seem to be on the mend.In all that the girls also moved me back into my newly renovated space. And space is the word, it is just terrific, we finally have space. We have to sort ourselves out yet and figure where is best for this or that but the computers are in and running and so are the threads and patterns..... the rest well suffice it to say I seem to have alot of fabric and thread! I just have to do some proof editing of Take time to Scrapbook to get it ready to print and we will try to release it the middle of the month. Also I am looking at the week of the 15th of June for shipping Chapter 6 - Hungarian Harmony to you all. If there were items that you needed or questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Surgery
Just a quick note before I go to bed and wake up tomorrow for surgery! As some of you know my arthritis was quite advanced and giving me grief so I am having the left knee undergo replacement surgery and I will be bionic! Now when I come to teach and go through the airport I will set off the machines!So I am unsure of how I will feel, but the girls Wilma, Kathy and VickiLynne will keep things going and look after details for me but answering emails will not happen as quickly as me doing them per usual.
Spring in Oregon
Just a quick not to let you know a couple of things. We shipped Crossed Caper this week - Chapter 5 in the Stitching album project. Just under the gun before leaving for the Oregon coast. If I don't answer email right away it is because I am away at an event, if I have a chance I do check email but I can't guarantee it.The pocket item is a JDD wood ruler or Kelmscott ruler, whatever you prefer. I have posted a picture of the wood ruler on the crossed caper page. In the thread pack is the lovely Gloriana Luminescence, I hope you enjoy using it, it is so soft and I love the intenseness of the colour it provides, what a delight to use in this mainly red piece! There are lots of you keeping up- great work! and lots of you more at the beginning, but nevermind, remember it is the journey of stitching that is the joy- enjoy your hours however many or few they maybe!
