I had my hand surgery yesterday-20 December. I am wrapped up, stiff, swollen, bruised and sore but I SHALL overcome! I HOPE to be back dyeing and creating in the New Year but in the meantime, I wish you ALL, all the VERY BEST at this joyous time. I pray that it may BE a joyous time instead of one filled with fear, hatred, and bigotry. It is a very tiny boat and we are ALL in it! We need to learn to live and let live, to help each other and to care for our beautiful little world.
As I have been unable to make my Art Quilts, I have been busy with the camera. Even that is hard today but I am trying!
We will have my Mum on Boxing Day for supper but that is all the festivities we have planned. We have had a very busy, tiring autumn. The great, joyful highlight was the safe arrival of our SECOND Miraculous Grandbaby, a boy, Martin Ramses Barry, 7 lb, 5 oz . He and our dear daughter are both well, happy and thriving. At his one month checkup, this lovely little bundle weighed 9 lb, 15 oz and he has grown 2 inches in length! He's just beautiful and we are VERY happy, feeling extremely fortunate. For those who do not know the story, our daughter was told she'd never be able to have babies!!! She's ALWAYS been stubborn 😘 And , BTW, big brother, Oliver, LOVES his little bro!
Well, if I can figure out how to get some photos in here for you, I'll do that and again, wish you all the very best for Christmas 2016 and for the New Year.
Great to hear from you! Hope your hand heals well and that you have a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Margaret. The hand is feeling pretty good at this point so I have high hopes! Happy Christmas to you and yours. God bless!
DeleteWhat a sweet boy! I finally know the joy in having a grand child! He's in Charlottetown. I spent a week there after he was born and we plan to go over New Years weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your surgery. You'll be glad to get it healed and get back to work.
Merry Christmas!
Oh, and I meant to add that I liked your Christmas message. I say merry Christmas as a habit even though I'm not religious.
ReplyDeleteyes, and a very happy and prosperous new year. Aren't miracles great!!! Here's to itchy fingers and soon! :)
ReplyDeleteMiracles ARE great! So are stubborn little women:-) Oh, believe me, the fingers have been itchy for a LONG time. They are sore at the moment but healing nicely and my creative juices are beginning to flow again!! Happy Christmas, elle!
DeleteDear Carolynn, I am so happy that little O got a wonderful brother and that all went well. The photos are sweet and it is good that you can at least click on your camera with your poor hand. I wish you the best for healing and soon taking up dyeing and creating. All my hearty Christmas whishes for you and your family and the best for the new year.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Carolyn! Such a beautiful family. I hope your hand heals quickly and the new year brings much peace, joy and creativity!
