Gosh…I don’t know how to begin to tell you how sorry I am that I’ve been lagging on this blog. I’ve been very busy with orders, which is so amazing. I love, love, LOVE what I do!!

Unfortunately, I somehow aggravated my back injury on Monday (unloading the dishes, of all things) and I’ve been in excruciating pain ever since. I can’t tolerate pain killers other than basic ibuprofen or acetaminophen, so it’s been a rough week.

How did I injure my back? 7 years ago my husband, kids and I were hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light. Our SUV spun around and rolled over. I was driving. By the grace of God we all walked away from the accident, but my back was never the same.

I go through this every few months…but this has been the longest I’ve been in pain…ever. I think I may have to see a doctor soon. 😦

I probably should have relaxed my back much more than I have this week. After I finish this post, I promise I will go upstairs and stay in bed until Sunday. Maybe my fairy Godmother will appear and do my laundry this weekend.

Here are some photos of what I worked on this week, pain and all…tell me what you think:

But, before I get into the details, I wanted to share some thoughts and a fun photo from this morning.

It’s such a beautiful morning here in Virginia. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing all of this weekend’s snow glimmering in the sunlight. The sound of the snow melting from the trees is one I won’t soon forget.

My kiddos made their first ever snowman.

I’m proud to say that they did it all on their own. Not bad for two former Floridians!

Last week, my daughter asked if we could make some more fun little wristlets similar to the heart applique wristlet from earlier this month. She picked out a few fabrics, some felt, and we got to work.

Here is what we came up with:
