Lots of thanks ..............
Here we are,my DD and me,at the plant-nursery and picking flowers for you,a whole a trolley full to thank you ever so much for posting nice words to me,both here and direct to my email. Very sweet of you:0) I definitely should have come around to you lot, but you probably understand why not!!! The flowers will be planted here in Oslo-Norway,for the time being ..... :-)
About one stitch(!!)a minute,approx. one hour a day,making slowly progress on the stitchery.The tools were done earlier,but the wreath now and a real match to my arm. I have not done any sewing on the machine,hopefully a bit in the coming weekend.
Have you noticed the plaster is violet! Great! They cut the old plaster off,checking the X-ray and decided a soft bandage was not good enough. New plaster will do the trick and in another fortnight I`ll be "right as rain":-)
That means soon I`ll catch up with Chookyblue`s plan,which I love to follow.
My DD is writing this for me as a one hand-system is very difficult.

Dear Grethe,
Don't be impatient. You will soon come back and catch up with June. Hopefully your hand will heal well. Take care.
