So much kindness

An enormous thank you to each and every wonderful and kind friend who sent good wishes to Liss, her little boy and to me.  She is now out of danger and on the road to recovery.  I had a good rest yesterday - I actually slept for 20 hours.  And now it is wonderful to be back.  I have lots of sewing and swaps to catch up with so I will be busy, busy, busy again.

I had originally planned to attend Lets Get Stitched in Adelaide but sadly was unable to join the wonderful group for this fun retreat.  Last Friday I arrived home to find a parcel waiting for me.  The most glorious, amazing parcel.  Take a look.
All the wonderful patterns from the stitching day



All the goodies the participants received



My own mug rug, signed by many of my bloggy friends at the retreat



And a surprise from every shop on the Shop Hop bus trip.





Wow, what an amazing parcel. Thank you so much to Dawn and all involved.  I must admit I was so touched I burst into tears but they were very happy, grateful tears.  Blogworld friends are amazing.



This little mouse pin cushion is very very cute
and it is a fabulous free pattern shared at All About You.

    So glad it arrived! Dawn said they were going to send through a package of all the bits and pieces to you! It would have been lovely to have met you, but life happens, and sometimes things just don't happen the way we plan them to. So glad to hear that Liss & her little one are alright!! You've been a good friend to them - the kind we all wish to have :) Hugs!
