Hello everyone! After almost two year’s absence from blogging, I bet you're surprised to hear from me again. Somewhere along the line, I lost interest and wasn't certain it would return. Guess I just needed a break.
In the meantime, I focussed on another hobby, that of collecting, restoring, and archiving old family photos. While I was at it, I rejoined ancestry.com and developed several new branches of our family tree.
A few friends have encouraged me to revive my blog and are even willing to help out. Since taking photos, my friend, Linda, has volunteered for the task. Sherry Simonetti will focus more on quilt portraits and glamor shots. I'm lucky to have their help and support!
Most of all, I want to assuage any concerns about my health. I’m still here, not necessarily "kicking" but relieved to say my Multiple Sclerosis seems to have slowed its progression. As long as my left hand works, I can still use the computer to reconnect with you.
It’s good to be back!
Good Lord Almighty...I was just thinking about you. My mother fell out of her wheelchair and broke her neck in May..dead in a week. And finally I have been able to go through her poetry..ANd, there...sounding just like her..were your great poems....so glad you are still kicking and are back.
ReplyDeleteDiane! I am THRILLED to read your blog and even more thrilled to have reconnected after all these years. Looking forward to your next entry!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I am so happy to hear your MS is no longer progressing and that you still have the use of one hand. I hope you will share the "portraits" of your quilts as Sherry takes the photographs.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back!
ReplyDeleteGood to find you here today. And happy to know you have found a connection between genealogy research snd documenting your quilts (so many stories in our stitching). One person I heard had even done an oral history for some of her quilts. Love the new header - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi, Diane, nice to see you. I've lost my blogging mojo and haven't gotten that back yet, but am at least thinking about it. I went through a several month quilting desert myself, but am now sewing again. whew.
ReplyDeleteglad you are back
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled to see you. I love your new header. It's so classic and fits you perfectly. It's great to know what you're up to and how you're doing and gosh, I'm just so happy you're here!!! I'm pretty much not blogging these days but now that you're here, who knows? You're darn inspiring that's for sure. Love, *karendianne.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I still don't have the desire to blog anymore, but the Piecemakers keep me motivated to sew.
