Long post

If you have some time, you could over to pray for Luke, a little boy, who got leukemia last year. After a bone marrow transplant, he was better but last week, they learned his cancer is back. Luke is lucky to have a brother and a sister who are both a match for another transplant (It is rare actually to have 2 siblings who are both a match.) For instance, I don't know if Emma and Steb could be a match for Pierre but we do have Steb's stem cells (from his umbidical cord) stored, just in case ... This family's journey is going to be hard so I hope a lot of you will go to his blog to leave a prayer for him. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your kind wishes for my dad surgery. He's at the hospital right now. Let's hope everyhting goes well ...

Last evening, Emma had another show with her music school. This time, the kids from different classes performed. You should have heard a little pianist who was playing extremly well after only two years of learning. BUT the kid IS passionate about the piano and I'm sure his parents don't have to tell him: go and practise your piano ... If I forget to tell Emma to pratice, she won't do it on her own ... Emma didn't play as well as she had the other time. This time, she was on a stage (she loved it!) but she was a little bit stressed out by all the people who were in the audience. Talking about the audience: I'm always surprised as how some adults do misbehave while the kids play on stage ... They talk, check their phone and so on ...

I got a nice mail day today as I received new stash !!!!!!!!! A french online store had a great sale. I ordered 3 kits, which were 60 % off each, and the shipping was 1 Euro only. Too good to not indulge a little bit. So what did I get?

A dimensions kit that I always found lovely. I never buy any Dimensions here but with the sale, they were the same price as in the US. It's a small one that I plan on stitching on a small hand dye fabric.

I also got two Lanarte kit (my weakness ... ) Peonies are one of my favorite flowers.

Do you notice these three kits have something in comon (beside being flowers )? Lets see who find the right answer !!!

As you can see, I finished all the black in the frame and I added some orange on the left border. I'm going to keep stitching the border before stitching the sky and the shading. Usually, I already think about my next project but not this time. Maybe guilt is taking over my brain and that's a sign I should finish my fuchsias before starting anything new ...
