Hello everyone!
Thank you all for your condolences and prayers for the passing of my Grandma. It was good to be back home and to reminisce fond memories of her with my family. She looked very peaceful and I was sure she was there watching me while I read the service. She was a very kind and loving grandma who looked after me quite a bit when my mom worked. She always made my favourite deserts and being a typical Ukrainian Grandma, made us eat, eat, and eat!!
Memory Eternal Anastasia!!!
That's what we say as Orthodox Christians.
Here's a lovely photo of my Dad's parents. Doesn't my grandpa look like Clark Gable?!!
Now I have one grandparent left, Nana. I spend my Sundays with her and cherish every moment.
Although this month has been tumultuous, yes we are still on strike, I have been trying to look on the bright side of life. Stitching and crocheting has kept me sane and level headed. It is as though crafting soothes me and lets me work through my thoughts and emotions. So without further ado, enjoy my photos of some of the therapeutic work I have done and the photos of a beautiful Prince George I took during a few walks and hikes with my family.
Finally, I framed Magic Garden.

Did I forget anything...or anyone?
Titus!! My little furbaby! I missed him and he missed me terribly!
Again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to come here and comment. I am horribly behind in my blog reading and hope to catch up next week. I have a wedding to attend on Monday and a stagette tonight...then nothing for a time!
Hugs
Anne

Oops! Forgot to mention that I was featured in Cross Stitch Collection's August issue!! I was so flattered they asked to interview me and they will be sending me a copy of the interview. Most people won't realize this, but when they sent me this, I noticed I sent them an unfinished photo of Hannah Brassington! Notice how there isn't any writing in the diamond?!
