I haven't had the time to visit here for a few weeks. I injured my arm and then my friend's daughter was quite sick and I wanted to be there for her. (she ended up having 75% of her colon removed!) Anyway...she's doing a lot better and my arm is healing fine.
Back to stitching!....I've started a design from a painting called "Near Kennebunkport" It's of a lady working in her flower garden. Will post pics soon.
I'm also getting ready to make a tote bag to put a cross stitched iris on. I'll post that too.

Here's a spring freebie that was shared on another forum:

Welcome back Lori I am so glad that you are doing better. Ohh it is rough when you can't stitch. I would pull my hair out.

Ouch I hope your friends daughter is doing ok. That sounds very serious. We wish her a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the update on the freebies. I did not choose that one but found another in the free section that I picked. More patterns yeah that is just what I need.

Hi Lori

Nice to hear from you - glad that your arm is getting better, and hope your friends daughter is ok - my mum had a similar op 25 years ago and is still going strong !

Look forward to seeing pics of your projects.

Welcome back, glad your arm is getting better, nothing worse that looking at something you want to do but cant.

Sorry for your friend's daughter, that is a difficult situation for a young girl, hope she is feeling better soon.

Thanks for all your support.

My friend's daughter had/has ulcerative colitis. It's an autoimmune condition, so her body was attacking itself. The only "cure" was to remove it.....

Anyway, thanks again.
