| "Curly Q Sheep" This sheep mat was what I worked on at the recent retreat in West Virginia in late April. It was the first time I used the technique of ripping the wool into strips instead of cutting it. The strips are all approximately one half inch wide and it really has a lovely effect on the wool...it curls in on the ends and is just so prim perfect ! |
 |
| "Freedom" This mat is the second in my Patriot Rug Series. You may remember the first rug was entitled "Liberty". I have plans for 2 more in the series. |
Today that changes and I vow to do my VERY best to not let that happen again. I have resisted asking my doctors to increase my medications because I know that, at some point, unless God chooses to heal me or provide a cure, the meds will continue to lose their effectiveness and I will be at the end of the road with no clue how to manage the pain in a matter of just a few years, a decade at most, so say the experts ! Well, then I am going to make this the best decade that I can !!! I want my life back, even if it is shorter.
That being said, I know some of you have asked me about when I will have some more blue, green and red woolens up for sale...well the dye pots are fired up and so am I. Those of you with current orders, they will be mailed out this weekend. I am trusting God to move me and my business forward ! On our recent trip to Virginia I was able to get lots of what I am calling "Woolies" ready for sale too. They are perfect for those of you who make penny rugs or applique. Those, along with lots more of my regular wool bundles will also be up by the weekend.
I do ask for your prayers as I am in the process of finalizing the colors for my upcoming new dye book...I know, I know....why put one more thing on my plate right ? Well, because so many of you have asked for it, that's why !
Loads more to tell you, but that will have to wait...I have wool to rinse and today is such a beautiful day to dry the wool on the line !!!
Until next time,
Grace to you,
Margie

Hi Margie, I am so sorry that you are in pain, I will pray for you. My daughter deals with diabetic neuropathy pain and it breaks my heart.

Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you post...I was going to e-mail you today but decided to wait and see what happened this week with you...and look, here you are!
I understand all you said in that one paragraph...you are such a dear and you know if you get to feeling punky again it's no big harm to go missing...do not push yourself.
Oh I saw your beautiful offering on PHM - and everyone elses offerings as well. Great talented group.
You can mail out my wools too Margie...you don't need to wait for me to approve the one for the background...as they say 'just do it' and mail it - the red too along with the other two I ordered.
Glad to see you back,
Hugs,
Karen

ReplyDeleteWell, can't wait to see your dye book. That sheep is too cute for words. Take care of yourself. Slow and easy gets the same amount done.
ReplyDeletePain can be very debilitating and affect all areas of your life. One step at a time go forward; you may have to take two steps back then go forward again, but it is a journey. Lots along the pathway.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see your posts whenever; do not beat yourself up.
His mercies are new every morning!!
Margie, I am new to your blog..but I so understand about posting...and I'm sure everyone understands . We can only do what we are able to do. We do our best..and everyone understands because it happens to all of us. Love your woolie work...you are so talented...and a dye book!? That's really impressive!----Jan
ReplyDeleteMargie (btw..I love your name!) I am here because Karen (my Colonial Home) mentioned your name today. Please know that I feel the same way as you do sometimes and it is so hard to grab hold of and face. But...we have to. I told my children ....to just let me keep doing as much as I can. I can not give into it. I have so many medical things that complicate my life...but we have to go on and face up for as long as we can. I am with you on the increase of medicine, too. I hope I am not being too forward. Please know that you are being added to my prayers. Prayers are good. I know.
ReplyDeleteAll my blessings,
Susannah
PS- I have no blog but I really like yours!
