    Default Two memoryquilts finished, a tote and update on my life......

    As you can tell by the title I have been very busy again.......I have to
    Jan is still not able to find a job, life is getting hard and I am working almost day and night to keep it all together.
    I do feel very depressed from time to time and since a few months I have bursitis in my right arm and in a lot of pain....the docter told me to take a long periode of rest to get healed, but since I need to work to make some money I can't take a periode of rest......I work my salon 3 days a week and the 5 that are left I am working on memoryquilt, be a mom etc etc.......... (and I start to feel the same pain in my left arm....)
    Anyway, the quilts I have finished are pretty good size quilts, made from a young mens clothes, he past away when he was 25 and those are for his sisters, he was a great tennis player and that is why I hang the quilt on a tennis court net.....the other is for his sister that has a 3 year old, she wanted the quilt to be very child friendly so I went to the playground to take the picture. I love both quilts, now I have to make one more for the third sister.
    The tote bag is for a friend of my parents, her husband is going through chemo and she needs to go to the hospital every day, I made her this tote so she can bring some food or reading stuff with her. Hope she likes it.

    Well my friends, this is how my life is going right now, not very much happy news, but I am doing the best I can to hang in there!!!
    Hope I can post some pictures today, sometimes it is hard to post from the good old iPad........

    I'm sorry times are still going rough for you and your family. Adding pain to that, no fun.
    the memory quilts are very beautiful, may they bring comfort.
    Love the tote bag!

    I'm so sorry you and your family are having hard times right now, hopefully things will get better soon. Love your quilts and bag. You are a good friend to think of your friend when you yourself are going through a hard time.

    Klasien,
    So sorry to hear Jan is out of work again, hopefully you will see some light at the end of that tunnel. Your quilts as always are beautiful and I' M sure bring much comfort to those who receive them. Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

    I am thinking of you every day and am glad you sent an update on how things are going. I'm sorry it is very difficult right now, and I hope you can get some relief from the arm pain. Just know your friends in the US are constantly thinking of you and saying prayers that things look better soon. Love you, my dear friend!

    PS, the quilts and tote are just lovely!

    They turned out great. I am sure that the recipients will be thrilled with them. The tote looks very professional. Hoping that Jan will soon find a permanent position so you can rest your arm!

    My dear, dear Klasien - prayers and special hugs (I won't squeeze the aching shoulder though). Your work just keeps getting better and better and better.
