Christine's giveaway

Hello dear readers,

Last week wasn't very easy.  My husband's operation was postponed at the very last minute.  Maybe
it's for the best.  Our hospitals are full to the brim with people with influenza. Not very
safe to be there these days.

I missed the meeting with the miniaturists, but very few attended.  Only three  completed the
trailers.  There will be another meeting where photos of all the trailers will be taken.

On the other hand, some happy news.  I was the very lucky winner of Christine's giveaway which
arrived a few days ago, a boost to my low spirits.

A beautiful felted painting, "UNDER THE OAK TREE". Christine is a master felting, sculpting and painting artist.  I recommend a visit to her blog to
see the wonderful pieces she creates.

(I'm not sure if you can note in this photo my swollen, blue, frost bitten fingers.  This happens to me, in spite of wearing gloves and keeping the house warm, when the days are extremely cold.)





A few posts ago, I showed you photos of another wonderful giveaway I won
from Susi.  I am very happy to share with you the good news.  Susi's Record Shop won FIRST PRIZE in a very distinguished contest.  You can see details in her blog.


A warm welcome to my new followers, Nina , Ayla and Helen.  Thank you for following.

I wish you all a lovely Sunday  and a wonderful creative week ahead. Blessings!

  1. Terrible for you Drora the operation of your husband was delayed at the last minute. Congratulations on your beautiful artwork. If you get cold fingers despite being warm at home you probably have Raynaud's syndrome. I would advise you to go to the doctor. If you get cold fingers at a later age an autoimmune disease can be the cause.

    Kind regards Xandra

  2. Oh! Cómo suceden las cosas! Da rabia pero creo que es muy prudente retrasar la operación y no arriesgarse, Drora. Por el momento, ese regalo de Christine es un maravilloso consuelo, felicidades

  29. I'm sorry to hear your husband's surgery was postponed - it's always bad when something like this is lying in front a you like some kind of a threatening dark shadow. But on the other hand - with all the poor people with flu in hospital it might be for good to wait a little longer. I'm also sorry about your hands - get well soon. But it's great that your wonderful win arrived at the best of times - what a wonderful piece!

    Hugs

Congratulation on your lovely win! You seem to have caught a lucky wave :D Thank you so much for mentioning my win as well!
