Thank you. I hope to add more items this fall. We are in the middle of selling our home and everything is packed. We will be moved in September and I can begin again. I am suffering from withdrawal, not being able to create.

I am working on a crazy quilt. It has been resting in the closet for a few months. When I saw this one, I got inspired. Think I will drag it out and work on it. Thanks....

Thanks Pam for you kind comment. As I tell my husband..."A therapist is what $125.00 for a half hour?....I can buy a lot of thread and beads for that". Ha Ha. Yes it is my therapy.

I love this comment. I never thought to put it that way. You are right, What I spend on my thread, beads, ribbon, is worth it.

this is absolutely beautiful - it is wonderful that you could create something of such beauty and peace when you were under such stress. I know handwork is my therapy, and I suppose it has been a release for people for centuries... thank you so much for sharing. Your children are very lucky!
