I love all the things you made with the girls- I can imagine how wonderful it is for your daughter's friend's to visit your house and all the fun learning they are doing with you. The embroidery is just gorgeous and the jumper looks like a triumph! So glad you are on the mend. I meant to try those origami Christmas trees this year, but things went a bit pear shaped when I set part of the lounge on fire. :-( So pleased to see you back to blogging, sharing and inspiring ❤️ Anna (amothershares.wordpress.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813712530750439281.post-63598686190141177662019-02-17T06:19:26.924-08:002019-02-17T06:19:26.924-08:00Hi Karen, hope your friends surgery goes well, it ...Hi Karen, hope your friends surgery goes well, it is a tough one but so worth it in the long run, highly recommend lots of icing as well as working through her physio.Helen Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729740220559637687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813712530750439281.post-47245929926850963082019-02-17T06:18:22.200-08:002019-02-17T06:18:22.200-08:00Hi Anna, lovely to here from you, recovery is goin...Hi Anna, lovely to here from you, recovery is going well, have loads of photos of what we have been up to, just need to get back into the routine of blogging!

Tricky to get back in the habit I am finding but I really want to record our lives/write my thoughts down. Have started journaling privately so at least am writing and expect I will get back to it. Wishing you a really successful op and swift recovery. Shall send you healing thoughts. Take care and also sorry to hear about your trapped nerve. Very frustrating.

Sounds like you might have kittens!!! Hope it worked and they are settling in well :-) That really is a long wait for your allergy testing, especially if you would like to have your hip operation in the not too distant future. Frustrating for you. I like all the things you did with flight - must try that balloon one. Sounds like fun! We have quite a few balloons in as it's my husband's birthday tomorrow so may have to do that soon :-) The book sounds lovely. I never seem to get any time to read for pleasure at the moment :-( Hope you are all keeping well and you are having some sunny days. It was freezing yesterday but sunny again today - crazy weather!
