Oops!

Early this week my trusty tablet leapt out of my hands and smashed onto the tiles where I was having lunch....
We have experienced so much together lol! Santa's little elf could not stand the miserable face and so I now have a new tablet friend but alas it is taking a little while to get used to its own ways of doing things. Hence I am a bit behind in posting and sharing.
Beautiful mail has come to me.
From my dear friend Fiona....A lovely card and gorgeous ornie....so beautifully stitched.
And bright and early this morning from friend Karen, a beautiful card and the sweetest pear ornie....love it! Love the card too.
Thanks so much ladies......straight on the tree lol!
I have been drawing rather than stitching but I have a special project I want done for just after Christmas. A quilt for my dear niece....A girl who has overcome a fair few obstacles to forge on and succeed. She is almost through her nursing degree and she is always supportive and encouraging of my handiwork....She doesn't read my blog so my secret is safe.
So binding is being stitched on under the aircon...

A little sneaky of one of the blocks.....beautifully quilted by FIONA of BUBZRUGZ
I will share when I am done as it deserves lots more photos.

My Christmas wish has been granted early.....our Son has another clear scan under his belt and is now finished 2 years of immunotherapy for stage 4 Melanoma which had progressed to his lung....It has been very gruelling for him and for us......It is awful seeing your child go through something like this....We are very proud of his courage....and we feel very blessed that he is fortunate to have had success with this treatment.
One very happy Mama here. So he has his treasured yellow card.....scans every 12 weeks still and we pray for continued good health.

I think that's me all caught up now. It's going to be a very warm day today so after a trip to the trusty hairdresser I think I am going to be relaxing with my binding in the aircon.
Enjoy your day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  10. I'm so happy for your son's great news. I lost my son last year to colon cancer. I understand the pain you have gone through as his mother. It's something no mother should have to go through. Let's CURE cancer!!!

  13. Oh dear! That is why I still haven't bought a new tablet for myself. They are different now and one needs to relearn everything. Congratulations re your dear son. It must be such a beautiful relief for you as well as he and his family. May the year a head bring all good news. The quilt is looking beautiful from the little peek. Have a lovely Christmas filled with an abundance of all great things. Angel hugs and blessings.
