Thank You...

I wanted to take the first part of this post to just say a big Thank You... to all of you wonderful people out there.  For many reasons...

For encouraging me and making me feel happy.  For all the wonderful things that you do too... the blog hops, the charity raising, leaving comments and best of all for being you.  

Onto more Thanks now.. for Michelle from Stitch Craft Place.. see a little while ago I answered a question right on her blog and she very kindly sent me a gift ...

It arrived in super quick time and I was thrilled as I always am at receiving post!

Here are the pictures...

Look at this lovely 'stitchy' paper...

Look what was inside...

A little more detail...

The cutest card with a beautiful note book..

And OH MY!! Michelle made some crotchet Christmas ornaments for me.. I feel so lucky.  I have tried to crotchet but cannot grasp it at all, look at these wonderful things..
A pretty snowflake...

And a wonderful Christmas tree..

And what a treat some Weeks Dye thread... Oh I will use this on a special project :)

Such pretty things Michelle sent me... Thank You again :)

I have been stitching and am loving it..

Its the Prairie schooler design I mentioned yesterday, I have started it..

And here is where I am right now...
Its such a pretty design, and coming along nicely too :)

Oh some other news to tell you all about...

Han has had to give up college due to medical reasons.. we met today with the health and safety person and head of Learner Support.  Han was doing fashion design and basically with her back condition was finding it all too difficult for her.  The sitting, the bending, the leaning, the cutting and even the sewing... I was sad... yes of course I was sad as Han was enjoying the course.

Han made the decision to leave, she came to the conclusion that is was all too much for her.  She has decided to wait to see what the specialist says when we finally get to meet them!  It was last november and we were told that Han is on a 14 month waiting list... so fingers crossed for early next year.

I understand that things must be difficult for Han..she knows her body more than anyone else.  Like Jon she too is in daily pain and struggles with practically everything.. I just hope looking ahead something can be done for her.  

As far as college and other education goes she says she will look at her plan B!  What ever that is!!  I am very proud of her no matter what she does :)

Oh one other thing.. not sure if I can do a post tomorrow as we all have to go to London.  Jon has a doctors appointment in Harley Street and we will get back late.

Ok that is it!!

Happy stitching to you all :)

Sending you lots of smiles :)
