Kiffie what a difficult story with a happy ending. I say celebrate. Every day and every nite. What a gift huh? we take it so much for granted me hands up first in line. Not anymore. I take each day and on bended knee say thank you. At night I say the same thing. Thank you. I am so fortunate. someone said today that I was so strong they didnt think they could be. I said you know until your tested you are clueless the endless depth of strength you have. There is always just that one more inch. Amazing isn't it? I wish I had never been tested 'how strong are you" however I am so thankful to find out stronger than imagined
now onto fun things like .. SEWING. first off .. where is our fearless leader? our inspiration? our one and only She Who must be Obeyed? ANASTASIA where are you? 95 percent done with Marybeths

and today was a happy sewing day. I feel like this huge aahhh is lifted. I received such a pretty star tablemat from Jaba today for our side swap brat pack patriotic wonder. I hope hint hint she can post it for me. I will try otherwise it might take a few days. around here its days til I can post a single pic. argh pirates right? Jan.. do you have a pic of the pretty russian doll one too? can you show everyone? we also had a first brat pack swap and I sent her fabrics to make me something.. I sent the russian dolls and little russian sleigh people and she made a cool black/red/blue runner. I would love to share the pics here to inspire all of you to whip one more out or even.. one out. Marybeth has her runner that i sent her but wont be able to share it til March when her internet shows up. I finished my patriotic to Marybeth so she can show that when her net shows up or gives me permission to try to show it first. (try key word). Vanogay.. how goes it on your runner? your so quiet... hope your feeling better.
