I want to start off with, what is going on with blogger and their comments. I am not receiving any via email, like so many of you. I have just gone through a lot of them by reading back a few posts. I really appreciate them, especially at this time when I am house bound. They have made me smile. I am sorry I have not replied to them but remember that they mean a lot. So keep them coming. I am not able to leave Tony and go to my sewing group so the blog is what is keeping me going.
Thankyou to everyone for all your well wishes and kind thoughts about Tony. He is improving. Walking a bit more but only in the home, eating better and talking better. His feet are still in excruciating pain but, the infection seems to have gone. At this stage he still has all his toes. A slow progress. Any progress is good. We have had so many appointments the days are flying by.
I have actually started to do some hand stitching.
So, while I was in Japan I was lucky enough to have a stitching class at Sashiko Lab.

We walked through Kyoto back streets which were very interesting. We saw many beautiful traditional homes with very tight car parking spaces. They can park their cars in the most amazing smallest spaces.
and first thing I noticed was this beautiful sink made with the most stunning tiles.
There were 6 of us doing the class from our group. That’s all that could fit.
We were to make a specially designed piece which gets finished into an envelope style pouch that ties closed.
So we started
Maxine kept working on hers in the motel room. She is hooked. Completing the plaited ties.
And I have been working on it at home.
