Hi there, yes I am doing ok thankyou for the kind emails & text ‘s. Have had a yukky couple of weeks-a friend passed away last Sunday from Leukaemia (was only diagnosed in Jan 2010).I was visiting with her on Friday evening and she was very coherent but oh my in so much pain –so ‘tis a blessing she is no longer suffering..
And have had some erkk health issues..slowly dealing with them.
I have been sewing –several items actually…but arhhh they are secret gifts so I can’t show them here-oh ok I’ll take some sneak peek pics on the weekend..
I have been doing a bit of hand embroidery..and was wondering how do you do it-like do you just hold the fabric ? Do you hoop it? Do you frame it? Me it depends on the size if it’s above 12”x12” than I frame it first..under that it is hooped..
I cut the fabric a tad longer than needed and then I sew it with the machine onto the webbing of the frame.
And tada here it is already for me to start stitching..
Cheers Vickie.
Thanks for stopping by.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, but as you say, her suffering is over and that's good.
I know from personal experience that being occupied with arts and crafts can really divert the momentary misery one is in - at least temporarily - I find that crocheting and knitting has helped me over so many health issues and hurdles that I'm so thankful for it, as I'm sure you are too. I will pray for your health and wish you a wonderful weekend from the bottom of my heart.
Love,
Doris and Gizzy :-)
Hi there Vickie, Sad news about your friend and peace is with her now. Sounds like you have been busy with your crafts and it will be nice when you can show them. Take it easy kiddo. Kind regards, Anita.
Hi Vickie, I am so sorry about your friend. Many hugs for you.

Hello Vickie,
Prayers and thoughts go to your friend and her family and you to. Hope those issues get resolved. I see it is only just over 100 days until you become a Grandma/Nanny whatever you are going to call yourself. Hope all is going well with your daughter.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
