Very quick update...

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here!  I am so far behind on my blogging and commenting and everything as I have been starting work at 7.30 am so that I can get all my work done and still fit in dealing with hospital visits and numerous family phone calls..... so I am exhausted and feel so far behind on the important stuff - cross stitching and chatting with all of you guys!  I do miss you and I am trying to keep up!

Not sure how it will go with my Mum- her condition is chronic and life threatening - she is going home from hospital tomorrow, against her doctor's wishes but she has fretted so much about wanting to be home with Dad that they are sending her home.  I hope that she finds some ease soon.

On a brighter note, I have just been given a promotion at work (I have been working toward this promotion for a while now) - so that is good news.

I do want to thank you all again for your kind thoughts, wishes and prayers - you guys are awesome!


So much to tell you all and catch up (as usual) - Giveaway and Travelling Pattern winners to announce,  surprise gifts to show off and I am catching up with two fellow bloggers and stitchers for a quick lunch today (I will tell you who when I blog next) and some stitchy updates to come, too (my RR geisha now has some bling!)

But, I will leave you with some Furio pics.....

Where is he going?





Ah, there he is!


hugs,

Perhaps being home will soothe your Mom a little. Hospitals do suck.
