Your work is beautiful. I would be lost without a seam ripper, and I can't hand stitch and won't be able too use sewing machine much longer if I don't get my carpul tunnel fixed. The hand is in bad shape from walking on crutches.
I have a granddaughter in Germany that I haven't seen in 10-12 years and she has two little girls that I have never met. One starts too kindergarten this year and I have a box of clothes and school supplies waiting for my next check too try too send them. She has recently moved so I am waiting on her too email me her new address.
