Rosie gets the Blues
This is going to be a post of many parts. First off I would like to thank all of you who commented on my last post, all the messages meant a great deal to us.
We have been treated to a great deal of blues harp over recent weeks. Rosie found her Daddy's harmonicas and it didn't take her very long at all to get the hang of playing them. It could be that as I've been working my way through our CD collection with her and we recently hit a run of Charlie Musselwhite albums that she found inspiration. She certainly seems to enjoy her Delta Blues.
There has been a bit of stitching going on when I can fit it in. I've started an online class - Anniversary Roses with Lauren Sauer of Forget Me Nots In Stitches that's been offered by Susan at Hanging by a Thread. I've finished the first section of this gorgeous sampler, you can see a picture of the complete sampler on the class page.
Lastly Ellen has asked how much longer it is till Alien 2 arrives. Because of some health issues on my part which have led to me being diagnosed with Obstetric Cholestasis again, I'm scheduled for induction on the 5th July when I will be at 38 weeks. This is the same condition that led to Rosie's early arrival. I would have preferred not to be induced again but ultimately my only goal is to have a healthy baby so I'm concentrating on the positives. Dave has his leave booked, we can get Rosie over to my folks and I'm not having to worry that everything will kick off in the middle of the night with Dave at the other end of the country and me having to find people who can run me to hospital and to look after Rosie.

Anniversary Roses is looking good!
Love your new sampler, you're making good progress.
Good luck for 5 July - I hope it all goes well!
Love the LS piece you are doing.
And best wishes, good luck, whatever it is one is supposed to say, with the imminent arrival of No,2 :)
That's funny your comment about "Alien 2". I always thought Ridley Scott had a warped sense of humour when he made that movie!
Good luck and best wishes for the upcoming induction etc!
Anniversary Roses look very pretty!
I can't believe how big Rosie is getting. Wish I could see her again soon in person. Is she ready to be a big sister?
Take care.
Rosie looks so grown up now! She's adorable!
Love the sampler!
Anniversary Roses is beautiful.
Nice stitching progress.
p.s. i'm sorry to hear about Tansy. our pets mean so much to us. hugs!!!
