Dear Ladyb, thanks so much, and hoping to be able to come out and play again, soon!So very sorry to hear about your mother. I imagine you bringing infinite cheer to her, and boundless support to your father. Such a sad and cruel disease, and my heart goes out to all affected by it.
Dear all,
Not to be dramatic, but you've been kind to ask and express concern, so I thought I would share what's been going on. Just before Christmas, I discovered that my mother has been the victim of a financial scam. She had been quite secretive and defensive towards me for some months, and now her doctor has diagnosed mild dementia. I've known something was wrong for over a year but could get no diagnosis or action until now. It's quite a mess, and frustrating--and a few other emotions that I will not name in this genteel forum. Then, in January, my biological grandmother died. Though I'd only known her for about 15 years (I was adopted as an infant), she and I had become close. She lived a good, long life. I will miss her, but I am very grateful I had the chance to know her.
Anyway, I thank you for your friendship and support (you know who you are). It's been comforting to know you are here and that I could pop in for a few minutes of relief from time to time. I'm sorry I haven't been able to contribute. Thank you, thank you for being here.

Thank you, Maedi! What do you think of this season's scarf line up? I haven't been to my H in a few weeks, so I don't know if anything has surfaced. The new Annie Faivre intrigues me as does Photo Finish and maybe the purple and white Afrique. How about you?
Everything is so late trickling in this year.I like the new Annie Faivre but have yet to see a color that feels me. Photo Finish is also very, very cool (anything with horses) but I need to see it in real life. I am curious about the dip dye and I bought Piqué Fleuri in color 19. The latter creates the kinds of happy feelings sometimes described here by sparkle and others. The colors are so happy, unexpected and beautiful. I also love the Provence region, flowers and birds... If money weren't an issue I would look into Equateur as well
I would love to see what the Aloha Dip Dye looks like, too. Oh, here I go again........Here is an off theme scarf that I wore last week (Fleurs d' Indiennes )when we had sunshine. It is still rainy today, so I will be wearing a necklace instead of a scarf when I head out to work. I admire textilegirl in her recent GM shawl (green) with banners. So, this one's for her. (What do you think of my matchy-matchy green jacket, textilegirl?)
I wrote this earlier and then i just read you were saying hermesick was "stunning" as well. . Guess that goes along with "takes one to know one"... . That makes both of you stunning! maedi, your Pique Fleuri sounds lovely! Can't wait to see your modeling pic.
I would like to keep it at two scarf purchases this season. I really love what I have collected so far and want to enjoy wearing what I have before I get all crazy again with purchases. I have a spring birthday in April, so I may look in to adding to my printed enamels....
I have a spring birthday in March Here's one from the archives, and one of my all-time favorite pics...L'Art du Temari, using a child-sized bracelet (secured with a hidden necklace) as a giant scarf ring.Dear Maedi, FrouFrou, Ladybaga, TangoTosca, etoile de mer, seton, Eagle1002us and Sophie,
Thank you for your kind words, hugs, prayers, thoughts, book recommendation, and empathy. It's so good to know one has friends, and a place to come (even if one is not wearing the appropriate scarf).
Couldn't agree more on limiting myself. Let's cheer each other on in that direction
(I love the month of March. Flowers blooming...cool, sunny weather....bunnies....LOVE IT!)Dear Maedi, FrouFrou, Ladybaga, TangoTosca, etoile de mer, seton, Eagle1002us and Sophie,
