Hello Friends

I've had such an outpouring of prayers,love, and care from my blog friends--for which I am so very grateful and humbled!!!! Thanks so very much--I love you gals!!

I feel pretty bad that I haven't kept in better touch. The thing is that when you get sick with something like cancer, sadly, it has a way of pretty much taking over your life. I just didn't feel like having blog posts that are full of my treatments and being sick and tired, and so forth, but really didn't have much else going on to talk about. After radiation, I ended up with a weird head thing and it put me out of commission for almost 2 months! BUT--I have been feeling better and have been able to get back to my studio a bit lately---which makes me happy!

I recently finished up an order for 200 of my little birds for a wedding out in WA state, they are using them as placecards at the reception--isn't that a cute idea?!! Let me tell you, though, all my birds are cut by hand, so cutting out 200 birds and 200 little wings was quite an undertaking! They turned out wonderful and the bride was tickled pink with them!

I found a really pretty and colorful little yellow tea towel with lovely hand embroidered pink flowers (the embroidery is exquisite!) and ended up using it to add a splash of color to a new cover for a composition notebook...I think it turned out gorgeous!  What a great journal for gardening or for keeping all your Etsy info or a project idea book! 

I've also made one with these fun florals and dots.  Sadly, there is an "OOPSIE" in the dots fabric, so I ended up deciding to lower  the price by $10 and list it anyways!  The cover is fully functional, so if you don't mind a little flaw, here's a good deal for ya!!

Sending out congrats to our friend Ginny from iSew.blogspot.com .    Her and hubby have a brand new little girl!!  Yeah!

Well, that's it for now.  I'll try and do better with my blogging -- I miss you guys!!  ♥♥♥
