I am married to a man who like his father before him insist on every knife in the house being razor sharp. I can distinctly remember my MIL complaining in days gone by....so why am I telling you this..... because not for the first time my thumb has come to grief making a salad.....I always suspected getting meals was a DANGEROUS pursuit! I am not a fainter but I very nearly hit the deck....erk!
This insignificant mishap has meant I couldn't hold my work comfortably to embroider, so I decided I would get stuck into my BRIGHT circles quilt.
I got quite a few done but then totally confused myself with how many more I needed. Putting what I had together seemed like a good idea.
I like how they are looking......
I am going to add 2 more rows....16 circles in all.....so not too much more to go!
This week was one that I have now dubbed "hold your breath week"......our Son's first scan after the completion of his Melanoma immunotherapy.
As hard as you try to get on and live normally when that scan comes around we all hold our breath until we get the results.....thankfully the best news....
NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE!
I so love those words!
This week was also Grandparents Day at oldest Granddaughters school.....It was a fun time and I came home with lots of treasure from our activities lol!
I mean who doesn't love a cupcake necklace, masquerade mask and Easter egg crown! Lol! Not sure why I have a cerise pink face on my badge.
So despite my sore thumb I am feeling extremely blessed and grateful!
"One act of kindness has ripples that will touch many "
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

So pleased for Lucas that he got that news. I know all about holding your breath. Yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds just like my Dad. Even our little kiddy knives were razor sharp. We certainly learnt to be careful. I hope your hand is better soon. That is great news about your son.
