A Gift

Emery knows me better than anyone else in the world, which is just as it should be in my thinking. He saw today that I was filled with worry and a bit stressed from the experience of having one of our grand-blessings so sick. In his loving way, he wanted to do something special for me so tonight when I was looking at fabric, he purchased just what I was looking at for a couple of skirts for summer and a new apron. One of the fabrics is not my normal choice for a color to wear but it will be great for garden work, it won't show the dirt !

The love this man gives to me is so amazingly tender and kind, and yet he is always my strength, my shoulder to lean on.

Tomorrow morning I hope to have a bit of time to sew.

The latest word on Mei-Ling is that she is not wanting to go to sleep.... I suspect she is feeling a bit frightened by all that has taken place and being in the hospital is not her favorite thing. She is talking up a storm and playing in her crib.

On the left are my two skirt fabrics, $2 a yard variety, good and functional yet still pretty.

The apron fabric is on the right, the main part will be the green print, the trim the rose pattern and the pockets will be with the fabric on the far right.
