I found some more neat patterns.
I should not be stitching but
can't help myself.
This is for someone who
lost a little one a few months
ago. The holidays are hard
when you've lost someone you
love and I thought maybe they
could use a little encouragement.
Their name popped into my head
the other day, unbidden, and I
always feel like that's God telling
me to send that person a card.
I don't really even know them,
having met them only once, but
God knows them and that's all
that matters, right?!
Isn't it a beautiful pattern? I had
a terrible time with it because if
I made it small enough for a regular
sized card it was too tiny to stitch.
So I had to make it for a bigger
card (for card makers, that's an A6)
and then it didn't come out centered,
but had lots of space at top and
bottom. I cut all that off and
added flowers to the bottom.
I think it turned out OK. that way.
Two days ago we had a very nice
and noisy thunderstorm. Yesterday
we had a snowstorm. I don't like this
weather at all. Have I ever mentioned
how much I hate cold weather? LOL.
My mom spent the night in hospital
apparently with a kidney stone.
They were having trouble controlling
her pain so decided to just keep her.
I hope she is able to pass it soon. I
have never personally had one, but
I hear they are very painful. My dad
has had them too, and now that she
has had one it makes me wonder if
I will suffer the same fate. I hope not.
I have enough old age issues
to have to deal with something like
that as well. Getting old isn't for
the faint of heart. I never thought I
would get here and now I see people
born in the 70's and 80's and
wonder how in the world they could
be in their 30's and 40's. Worst
of all, everyone looks like a kid
to me. It's frightening!
Happy Sunday!
