I look forward to watching it progress.<br /><br />Lindsay's bag turned out fantastic. I'm sure she just loves it! I absolutely adore mine!!! <br /><br />You make me laugh/smile again...I'm glad that slowing down and having to "wait" didn't kill you. Patience is a virtue. Not always easy...but true. You know that I believe that the joy of things is found in the journey and not just in the destination, sweet girl! I think you would have the perfect balance to have both types of art projects going...one where you can get it done and one that you pick up and slowly enjoy working on. <br /><br />Gizmo looks so cozy on his blanket! Glad the tummy staples are out and I hope all is healing well! <br /><br />Big hugs...~me<br /><br />P.S. Did I tell you recently how much I enjoy my needlecase again?! It is with me all the time and it always reminds me of you! I have broken more needles lately and I have frequented my needlecase a lot...lol!

On a side note, we have a huge tree with those same balls he swallowed. Tons of them. They stick on Annies fur. I am going to be very sure I get them out before letting her in from now on.Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428038350458198518.post-75004066148551533442010-03-08T19:01:05.032-05:002010-03-08T19:01:05.032-05:00Very pretty work...Very pretty work...Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428038350458198518.post-5852231531216018522010-03-08T17:37:47.564-05:002010-03-08T17:37:47.564-05:00Ah, Gizmo seems to be recuperating nicely!
