2 rays of happiness

just a quick post to share how happy i am with this photograph from a customer in the states who emailed me what one of my sold items looks like on her window. i was so worried the package woldn't arrive from chile and although it took several weeks it arrived safely.

i m now almost finished with another much larger robin's egg blue kitchen curtain set and valance that another customer ordered from.  it has been the largest crochet piece i have ever knitted. i'll post pictures of it once it's finished.

and this may not touch you as much as it touched me but tears came to my eyes when i came back to see a plant on the balcony that had completely, or so i thought, died during the fire that ocurred two months ago in the building, coming back to life.  A TRUE SURVIVOR!  i also noticed that the bouganvillea which also suffered is beginning to sprout in the middle of winter.  that's what i call a will to live.
