Merry Christmas!

Just a quick note to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the best of the holiday season. Hope you were able to get some ornaments stitched and now have some fun Christmas events. It is not like we don't know that Christmas is coming and yet I always seem pressured for time, good grief! I don't know why I let that happen. I always think I am going to add one more thing in..... Well, it will come whether we are ready or not.

I am looking forward to the New Year already and have projects in different stages of readiness for Nashville. I have a project coming in an upcoming magazine issue of The Gift of Stitching. And of course looking forward to seeing you all!

Happy New Year too!

Recovery #2

Yay! I am doing great. This time around no nasty infections. Once I was over the 2 week hump on Wednesday and got my staples out I felt I was on my way. I can walk around the big block here, and it seems that is all I am focused on is walking! No arthritic pain, yay! I must tell you about a lovely stitcher who has made up the fonts for My Stitching Album into a chart form for us. Go to the MSA icon and then clik on the first box with the original information leaflet I had to promote this and under it you will find pdf's for the Alphabet Stitches. I want to express my thanks to Diana Sheppard for her work on this. It is truly appreciated. I am not sure if this will link you to that page -MSA Alpahbet Stitches but I hope so.

As you can see it is a busy year next year with event opportunities all over! Do come join me in an event somewhere either close to you or one where you have always wanted to go, it is such a special thing to do. It is not often in our daily lives that we can share with like minded people and totally immerse yourself in what your passion is. The events have gifted me with something that I missed after not nursing as much and that was people contact. It has been terrific meeting so many of you and I hope that we can meet again or meet anew!

I am working at all the new Nashville stuff and while all of it is stitched I now have to do the instructions! Always a challenge to write it down in a fashion that is understood by many! Look for new things to come your way soon.

Surgery again!

Yes it's true, I am going in again tomorrow for my other knee replacement surgery! ack! We will be still looking after things, just maybe not as quickly! Apparently if all goes well, I will be out of hospital by Sunday afternoon, and excercising will be my full time job! At least this time I am not in the middle of renovations at the same time and it is going into the more relaxing time of year, it is when I do most of my designing usually- November, December, but I have been pushing here in October to get designs done so we shall see. Keep stitching and I'll be back soon!
