Row Robin starts Jan. 2016 All info on first post.

[Scoopie]

Limbania, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through! Again! Be strong and know, now that you have shared the news, that there are many of us praying for you and sending healing vibes! Ditto everything that Lotti said!

Rosemary, I'm looking forward to receiving your row. I haven't been down to the mailbox in a couple of days, so I'll check it today.

Cathy, it sounds like you are a very busy person right now! I was exhausted after reading your post. I have a really sedimentary life and rather enjoy it that way. I tend to get very anxious when there is too much going on.

Wendy, did you ever get an answer to the clothesline plate question? I call them bowls, but they can be flat like a plate. They are clothesline wrapped in fabric, and coiled into shapes like bowls, and sewn together on your sewing machine. You can see examples on YouTube or Pinterest.

Hugs to all!
Dawn

Limbania,
Thanks for letting us know what's going on in your life. I think it's always wise to let your children know, even if very young, what is going on. If it is kept secret, they think it is much worse because they aren't being told. If you get a diagnosis that isn't what you want, they will be able to see it in your face, and they need to be allowed to deal with their emotions about the whole thing too. Be prepared for some really tough questions coming from them, as their minds might 'race to the worst' case scenario. They need reassurance that whatever does come about, they are loved by you and that you will do everything reasonable to see your 'grandkids', I know they are only 8 and 12, that's why I mention the distant future. You will be in my prayers, please keep us posted. If you prefer to not say much on this forum, continue to let us know through private emails. We care and send you God's love.
Your friend, Luann

Oh, Limbania! I'm so sorry to hear your news!! You are always in my heart and thoughts and I will send every good vibe I can find your way! As always, if you need anything, all you have to do is ask.

Oh Limbania, I am so sorry that you and your family must go through this again. Please know that I have you in my prayers and am sending good thoughts your way. I stand with you, my arm about your shoulders. Hugs to your children and husband also. Please let us/me know if there is anything at all we can do.

I've been busy collecting pictures and info for my new website. I'd much rather sew than write about sewing! Wendy I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the plate. Dawn is correct, it is fabric covered clothesline that is wound around into bowls, baskets, plates, coasters, etc. Here are some pictures of what I have made.













Our new grandson is a week old now. He is adorable! His name is Alistair Louis. I can't wait to go see him next week.

Take care, geneva

Sorry to hear it Limbania, really hope you can manage it with your strategy. Love to your family and husband.

Great items Geneva, love the plaited look of the second one. The colours are lush.

[twiglet]

Limbania, adding my voice to the chorus of support, prayers, best wishes, good vibes, etc., as you once again face this and strive for healing. I'm sorry you are dealing with it a second time. Big, gentle hugs.

Geneva, your plates are lovely! Good job on those!! And congrats on the sweet grandson. Enjoy him!

Limbania,hugs and prayers to you at this time.

Limbania, I am sending hugs and prayers to you too. Please be honest with the children. I was on their end when I was 13. It is very frightening for anyone, especially a child, to think of what the future might bring. Reassure them no matter what, you will always love them and be with them. Prayers are a powerful force and we will be sending many prayers for you and your family.

Limbania along with everyone else here I will be praying for you and your family. So sorry that you all have to repeat all this process.

Dear All, I am offering my sincerest apologies for being absent for sooooo long. I am so humbled by the fact that you guys have continued to send me rows even without my acknowledgement of receiving them. To say the last year has been turmoil is putting it mildly! DH is finally home after a year of taking care of his sister and her husband, unfortunately the reason he has been able to return home is because both of them have passed away. He is now able to help me put the house back together after a year of total renovation. The room which will be my sewing room very soon has, in the past year, been a storage unit, my son's bedroom, a storage unit again for the kitchen appliances and now it is becoming a real area for me. During the chaos, I have misplaced my list of who I have sent rows to. I know it is late, but if you received one from me could you please let me know so I will know. For those of you to whom I haven't sent rows, would you allow me to please complete the task? Perhaps you could add my row to the back somewhere. Again, I truly am sorry for having dropped the ball on this, but it was out of my control.
