All is Well That Ends Well!

On Wednesday, Dear Mother (ggrrrr! - 92 years old in 6 days time) decided to pour some water from her drinking glass into the vase with the kangaroo paws - a small journey but quite a few obstacles to encounter. Luckily I was within hearing distance and heard a noise like a little lamb squeeling 'I've fallen. I've fallen'! Oh dear, I'm home alone with her, what do I do! Cushioned Mum to make her comfortable and then phoned DD who thought she would be able to drag Mum from the floor - what a little Champion - she did it! Bruises aplenty - thanks goodness, no broken bones.

My sewing basket was just to the side and guess what - yes, water all over my glued applique! Would you believe, a sponge with a dry hand towel and out to the clothesline in the sunshine and here it is - all perfect! What a lucky day for us! There's lots and lots of sprigs to do and not one was lost.

I'm playing nurse to little granddaughter at the moment, so I'll quietly sneak back and add a few more stitches!

Happy weekend everyone - hugs - Lurline♥

    The circle of life; Moms take care of daughters and the role reverses to daughters taking care of Mothers.

    This is such a killer border, I am thinking it will be my next project.
