Well I saw these scrabble pendants on Juliann's blog and as I'd just come out of hospital and in need of a pick me up I thought I'd take a look. I bought one with a chain for Toni because I felt bad missing the deadline on her Booty swap and one for me just to see what they are like (and they are great...)
You can find more designs on scrabble tiles by Mark & Stefani here.
Also in the mail this week was something very thoughtful. Caryn was my pincushion partner for Linda's pincushion swap and she sent me that beautiful pear. After reading about my difficult time she sent me this gorgeous little case for cutting out my hexagons when I'm out and about. It is so cute and so thoughtful and in rose print too! Thank you Caryn it's lovely.
Here you can see it open with the mini cutting mat. It's so thoughtful (and clever!)
Also pictured are some flowers a friend dropped off on Saturday. When I asked how she was she said "same as you". Sadly, it seems she is currently going through what I just have and is awaiting finalisation. DH and I had discussed how so many woman have had such experiences and he said that perhaps woman share their stories to empathize with each other. That perhaps we try and make each other feel that we're not alone, but in a sort of club. I guess that's true. Groucho Marx once said "I wouldn't want too be part of any club that would have me as member". And I agree, I don't really want to be part of this horrible club! I'd rather be quilting!!

Cute necklace (I'll have to check that out) and more very thoughtful gifts. We certainly would not choose some of the clubs we get inducted into but I think as women we act out of instinct and want to help especially when we share the same pain. And we don't want to be alone, so we share. But the same is true about quilters; we share a common love. I haven't met a quilter yet that hasn't been a great encourager, too. Hugs.
Yes, we are in a club - but, as you said, not one that we would choose to be in.
I don't want to be in the club either. But on the bright side, there are a whole bunch of really wonderful people in there with us.
Yes agree - you know me....
At first thought I was going to agree - it isn't a nice club! But it's the reson for joining that isn't nice; the club itself is full of wonderful women from all over the world who join together to try and share and ease each others pain over the years.
I hope things get easier for you soon. Take care.
The case is great, you can never have too many bags/cases to keep your "things" in, that way you can have everything organized.
What a lovely travel sized cutting case - such a brilliant idea. The kindness of bloggers certainly lifts the spirits. Take care.
