Sorry blogland, I've been too busy to post! Working, packing and moving - long days, I'm dirty and tired but pleased with what we have accomplished. We have a great team, with all of us pitching in it got done! The new shop is coming along very nicely too, we are all excited to see it finished (and see if our stuff fits). I have finished a personal stitchy project or two but I'll save that for when I am caught up on emails... a hot bath and a good solid night of sleep will help too. It's been a LONG week!
Now that you have been brought up to speed I will leave you with a photo that I took a few days ago. Schlumbergera truncata, my grandmother's 'Christmas' Cactus which was a stumpy, half-dead mess I rescued from her apartment 4 years ago. It decided to bloom for the first time just as I have been longing to get into the garden again, to brighten our lives. It's gorgeous and cheerful and kind of flashy and full of blooms. Enjoy!
Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.
