Well have to say I am happy to be back. Just posted my first project in a long time and had fun doing it. Haven't embroidered anything in over three months, health problems, machine problems ( 8 weeks and it still news to go in for more repairs, UGH!!!) but finally back to normal for a while anyway. Another operation this fall and I will send the machine in then for other repairs and hopefully the new year will start off better than this one. It sure make one realize how important and precious it is to be healthy. Never take anything for granted and appreciate all and especially everyone you have in your life. Nice to be back with all my friends here.

Big hug to all
Michelle

Thank you,
Well I know I should have another surgery hopefully before xmas, it was supposed to be in Sept. but alas, I shall continue to wait. As for my machine, after 8 weeks in the shop I could not stand it any longer and told them to give it back until I go in for surgery and then I will take it
back because they have to send it to Toronto for repairs.
Very dissappointed with viking, parts take forever to arrive and be sure that when they sell these machines, they never mention to the client that this is a problem. The repair man told me that some clients have waited 6 months for parts. I would have had a fit (or two) lol

Thanks Soozie,
I predict 2013 will be my year, after this next surgery, I should be good as new (a new women with new parts), it has been almost 2 years now of health issues and I have to think the end is near,

Happy to see your face! Glad you are back. I am so busy I do quick looks and run off to do other things. Doc appts and tests so many days of the week I am sick of it! Want to put my head under the covers and sleep for a few days straight, lol!

Thanks Debra,
That has been what I've been doing lately as well, a few minutes on and off. I can't imagine what you are going through and the appointments are a pain in the one place I don't have pain right now LOL,
Hope things are going better for you, you are always in my
prayers,
hugs

Thank you Mary,
I am glad to be back, not 100% healthy yet (another surgery coming up) but in the meantime give my creative juices a bit of a run, wouldn't want them to get rusted, lol

Nice to hear from you, Michelle! I agree with you that being healthy is very important, we should pay more attention to what we eat and have more knowledge in the matter, not only for us but for our loved ones as well. Glad that you have restarted making projects, I always enjoy seeing them.


Hugs, Lidia

thank you,
In this fast paced world we tend to forget that it is important to look after oneself, we always put other's needs first and then your body reminds you that it needs caring for as well.
