Long long long over due.....

Hello my happy wonderful friends...

Are you all wondering what is long long long over due??

Oh my!!

I do feel awful for not telling you all sooner about a truly wonderful kind hearted person.  So I will do my best to tell you all now....

Whilst I was in hospital, if you are not aware of this, it was from the 21 St January to the 7th February and I was so so very sad in there.  I was there because I had a seriously severe flare up of my osteoarthritis in my left knee.  I was in so much pain, the doctors were trying to find some suitable medication to control this.  

Now and then when they could my daughter and parents would visit me.  On one particular day they brought me a package... Oooh my eyes lit up and I thought wow for me!!  I was so happy, and then when I opened the package and pulled out the contents... Unwrapped from the tissue.... I started to cry.  Oh these were happy tears!! I was overwhelmed that someone would send me such a lovely gift.. Really just when I needed cheering up... Such good timing!!

And I bet your wondering what was in the package??

Here look...

It's the cutest little bunny I have ever seen... And do you all want to know what I called her??  I called her Hope.  For a few reasons really. When I was in hospital, Hope made me feel everything was going to be ok and I would get out soon.....I did!!

And now at home, bed bound as I still cannot straighten my leg or weight bear or walk on it... Hope is with me..

Hope is there for me... She gives me hope that my leg will get better soon...

I would like to tell you all who this wonderful person is that sent me Hope...it was Julie  :). Her blog is juliesstitchingjournal.blogspot.co.uk  I am ever so grateful to you for sending me a gift.  I will take care of her and cherish her for a long time.  Thank You xx

Whilst I am here I would like to show you all an up date of my current stitching project... 

If you don't know what I am stitching, it's a wonderful Blue Ribbon design called "Five Houses Of Hope".  I am using DMC threads and 18 count Aida I hand dyed myself ..... And yes I am very proud and happy and hmmmm amazed at the wonderful fabric creation I made! 

Here is where I am on my stitching journey so far...

I am so so pleased with my progress...let me tell you all its such a joy to stitch.  Stitching this really really makes me happy, I am over the moon that I am actually stitching it now.

So I hope your all happy and enjoying what ever you are doing?  If not, I am sorry and please feel free to take one of my smiles :). And I hope you feel better/happier soon.

I am now going as I feel I have taken up enough of your time...

Thank you so so much for popping in, lovely to see you :)

Happiness and smiles to you all :)
