Hi friends! I want to share with you a special package I received from our friend Nienke. But first look at this sweet card she has made me. It is just precious!

Now I will show you her most generous,awesome gifts!

Linen and ribbon and floss, oh my! Two patterns! The LHN "Blessed" pattern is one I have wanted for years actually. I RARELY purchase patterns. At this time, the money is just not there. So what a blessing this is!!  There are three rustic, metal ornaments that Nienke also gifted me. I plan to stitch sweet patterns to insert into these forms. Thank you Nienke! ♥

You know how pets are. While you set things up for picture taking for the blog, they have to come investigate. Well Murphy came and sniffed all these gifts out, then promptly hopped in my lap.

I finally got in to that Orthopaedic Surgeon. Of course when you wait one month, the symptoms almost go away, right? Well, he brought the pain in my wrist back with the exam!!! And my neck hurts worse than before. After x-rays and the exam, he has decided I have tendonitis (in my lower forearm) and a pinched cervical nerve. He prescribed physical therapy. So I have begun pt again. I went back to the same therapist who helped me so much with my SI joint. Basically my shoulders are tight and drawn forward, pinching a nerve that runs down my arm. I have a strong feeling I am going to need to reposition myself while stitching. We will see what I learn.

I am in the process of assembling Murphy ornaments. I made 4 total. The kids will take their Christmas ornaments with them some day. I wanted a Murphy also!

Have a super weekend my friends!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
