Thanks for all the sampler love! I'm filling the hoop with this practice piece today and taking it to the doctor's visit with Mom. They make you wait long enough that I could probably finish the whole thing. On days like this, you have to try to make the lost moments matter somehow. One way or another, they often add up to something unexpected, something memorable.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Loving it so far.
i love the way you are with your mother. i just lost mine in february. i travelled all the way to chile to be with her during her last months and saw her take her last breath. you are doing well by your mother and this will give you great comfort if and when she is gone. yes, every moment counts; i too hate to be idle and stitching hands are a mantra of sorts, very peaceful as well as giving birth to something new. always a pleasure to stop by to visit you charlotte. kisses to you mom and a hug.
