Everything was as bright and clean as the day it had been packed away - halfway through a pink flower. It's waiting now for me or my daughter to take it up.<br />Hope you enjoy getting back to yours.Janehttp://jeeandme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-36451482715407927702010-02-26T11:43:04.253+00:002010-02-26T11:43:04.253+00:00I'm always so excited to see anyone stitching....I'm always so excited to see anyone stitching.

Yes, I...Oh Alice, such a beautifully written post. Yes, I think that knot has been there long enough, time to gently unravel, perhaps a gentle move onward in life. I have a Kaffe Fassett cross-stitch (nowhere near as beautiful as your fine embroidery) which is sitting, paused in motion, untouched since the birth of my son ten years ago. Your post has made me think about when the time might come for me to return to that and about how quickly such big chunks of life go by.<br /><br />Dylan had Menigicoccal Septicaemia when he was 4 years old and I still whisper thanks daily that he came through it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895985573831346825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-47411155881287370142010-02-26T09:19:31.521+00:002010-02-26T09:19:31.521+00:00Thank you Alice!
