Oh, your gifts and goodies are so lovely, and cross stitch...I used to love to do this art and petit point was my favorite type of needlepoint project, but my eyes won't allow it any longer!! STAY WELL DEAR ONE, and thank you for visiting...hey, APRIL IS COMING....THE BIRTHDAY BASHES ARE COMING SOON! Oh, I remember, yours is near!!! HAVE A LOVELY DAY, Anita
Great to see you're managing some cross stitch, yay for you! And three big cheers for Mr Armchair, what a legend. ♥
Well done on your win from France.
Hope your xray goes well and the cast can come off soon.
Nice little swap parcel, too. It's lovely to get goodies in the post, isn't it?

Hey there darling,
I haven't forgotten you just a tad behind on stuff, waiting for some prints to arrive. Anyway, looks like you have't been too lonely, lots of help and love from hubby and friends.
Hope everything goes well at the doctors.Us too have a rendezvous for Stan's eyes tomorrow.Health does take front seat these days.
Take care,
Hugs Annabelle >^.^<
You are always so busy with wonderful stitchery.
Hope the x-rays have a good outcome.
So Fall is beginning there and Spring is starting here... we have different seasons, live many miles apart yet are connected by our love of stitches.
Take care D and a big hello to JoJo.

Goodies are always a cheer me up, here's to the day the plaster is removed Yeah!!!
Precious Dzintra,
Thank you for coming to read my post yesterday, it was a special one to write. I am loving reading certain poetry these days, and I think that my bent in writing is leaning towards inspirational and lyrical prose. But the subject moves me as I try to deal with....GROWING OLDER!!!! NEXT MONTH, THE BIG 53....yikes, but HURRAH! And how are you feeling beautiful one? Is that cast just about ready to come off? MAY YOU BOUNCE ABOUT and do all that you love, FREE AS A BIRD with no restraints!!!
HAPPY SUNDAY! Anita
Good morning Dzintra! Oh I so hope that all the xrays reveal COMPLETE healing and that you gain mobility to get back to NORMAL! Oh yes, our birthdays are coming, and WOOOO HOOOOO....I simply cannot believe we are turning...you know.....older! WIth the exception of a killer diller pain I have running down from my BUTT to my leg (a pulled muscle) I am fine! NEXT POST WILL BE ON FINDING OUT WHO'S BIRTHDAY IS IN APRIL..you will have to remind me of your day dearest...happy day my friend, Anita
What a grand treasure to find in your mailbox...and chocolate too!!! Woohoo...share??? Heeheehhe!
Your flowers are just bright and beautiful. I'm sure they put a big old healin' smile on your face!!! It's good to have someone take care of ya every now and then.
Prayin' for your quick and complete recovery sweetie!
God bless ya and have a terrific Tuesday!!! :o)
Ooo! It is early morning for me so I am suspecting it is late for you...I HOPE THAT WHEN YOU GET THIS, you do not have a cast on any longer! Or at least, you have received a seal of APPROVAL!!! Either way, I hold the bottle of pink for us both, celebrating your great patience, and OUR BIRTHDAYS! I know, I simply cannot believe the age we are getting. NOT POSSIBLE!!! GROSSES BISES MA BELLE!!! Anita
Hey sweetie, I want to apologize. The pics in my last post weren't visible to anyone but me. Dang Picasa!!! I reposted usin' Photobucket so pop on over if ya get a chance!
God bless and have a wonderful day sweetie!!!
I suppose you could fake the sling for a few more weeks just for Mr. Armchair (wink wink)(: What perfect goodies to raise your spirits! xxVicki
