I promised you “a surprise” in my last post (about a hundred years ago, oh my goodness, I’m so late)! MUSICA (nice old Frank)🎶 I don’t usually start things off with a photo of me, but I had to make an exception to add oomph to my explanation for why I’ve been away so long! In the photo, I’m dressed and on my way to give a talk at Island Writes, but you may notice something not quite right.
Yeah, why is she wearing that black glove? What an odd-looking glove. Hey, that’s not a glove! No. It. Is. Not. It is a (stupid) cast for a broken wrist. A broken right wrist. The hand that does everything. So anyway, I broke it a little over a month ago while packing up things for the yard sale. Tripped over bags, hand-to-floor, caught myself, the end. Which also ended the infamous yard sale for this year. Ended almost everything, because I had no idea what all this hand 
did until I lost it. Besides typing, writing, and painting, it opens cat food cans, washes hair, signs books, holds a freaking fork, puts on earrings, uses scissors, deadheads roses, DRIVES, and chops onions. Hello. At first I couldn’t do any of it, I gave my brain a new kind of workout by practicing writing with my left hand, but one-by-one I’ve been getting things back. And Look Ma, I’m typing! I think I MIGHT get the brace off Sept. 14, my Doctor keeps little secrets to himself, I’ve learned, but I am hoping! It wasn’t a bad break, no surgery; I glowed like a 7 year old when he called me a “good patient.” It’s the little things in life. Yes, physical therapy will follow, but I’ve been doing exercises to keep my arms strong, so I hope normalcy returns soon. Thank goodness for Joe! He’s been taking such good care of me!
But I promised you surprises, and you’re going to get surprises! 🌸 Our Courage Charm has arrived . . . isn’t it wonderful? Gold with a streak of pink that goes all the way around. Pink, the color of nurturing, for yourself, and for others. The color of love.💝
It comes on its own little card . . . the charm is engraved with the words “Courage, Dear Heart . . .”💞
Thought you’d like to see my bracelet . . . I think I have them all so far!
And this? This is not for sale! This surprise of all four-seasons of my cups (which are all sold-out and no longer available anywhere on earth), is for the lucky person whose name gets drawn by Vanna in the next post! I told you I would have surprises! Just leave a comment, and you’ll be entered! It can be for you, or maybe you’ll want to take it apart and make four Christmas 🎄 presents out of it! Leave a comment!’Tis almost the season! Here comes
And this? This is for everyone! A brand new bookmark for all my Anglophile, Corgie-adoring, Queen-admiring girlfriends and the people they love! Just click HERE, print it on card-stock, have it laminated if you like . . . it makes a very sweet stocking stuffer or book-gift accountrement.(In case you’re new here, the bookmark is tucked into a copy of my book A Fine Romance, Falling in Love with the English Countryside.)
And what else? Oh yes, for everyone that preordered and waited so patiently, I’m thrilled to tell you the new cups are scheduled to arrive in California TOMORROW, on Thursday! And yes, I ordered extra so we would have some to last through Christmas, just in cases.
The heart cup is another Courage item. The world is so wild these days, we need as much of this as we can get. And there’s another secret about this cup . . .💞
I didn’t design it! I designed a red cup with hearts on it which Joe thought was a little boring, and said, “Why don’t 
you make it look like champagne?” I said, naturally, “What are you talking about?” He tried to tell me, but I couldn’t picture it, was running out to lunch with girlfriends, and said, willy-nilly, over my shoulder, “Draw me a picture!” Because I know Joe is an artist even though he never does it. But I didn’t expect THIS. Champagne bubbles made into hearts. Of course I fell in love with it. My boy is a genius!
Very appropriately, this is Joe’s first cup ~ Champagne Hearts! He will very likely never do another one, not sure I can figure out how I tricked him into this one!🙃
I designed the bottom and the handle, so it was a group effort. From the Heart of our Home.💖 You’ll have them by the end of next week!👏
This one too! The Martha’s Vineyard cup, arriving at the Studio tomorrow, and in case you’re coming to the Island, it’s already available in the shop that carries my things here ~ which, by the way, has changed their name to Vineyard Arts Gallery, it’s still in the same place in downtown Vineyard Haven, and Robin still runs it. And one more by-the-way . . . another reason for you to leave a comment ➡️ Yes! I’ll be sending some lucky person their very own Martha’s Vineyard cup too! It’s an Autumn extravaganza!
This too! Leave a comment to win this Pumpkinhead cup! So far that makes three lucky winners and you only need to leave one comment to be entered for everything! Why you may ask? Because I can! (Writing now, from day after I published this post: Reading the lovely comments ~ can’t answer so many with bad hand, but reading 🤗, loving, sometimes tears, THANK YOU.💞 This is why. We are the world!) I detect a need for cheer and doing my best in this little world of ours, to make some of it for my Girlfriends! And, to make it more fun, the winner of this Pumpkinhead cup will also get a box of my Inspiration Notecards.
Hope you love them!
Jack also wanted me to let you know, in his own unique way (by draping himself on the thing I’m trying to photograph), that the 2020 calendars have arrived! If you preordered, you should have them!
Other good news, our teapot plates are back in stock! We’ve gotten lots of requests ~ sooo happy they’re finally here!
Great for holiday cookies, as a little serving dish and. . .
also looks great hanging on a wall!
And brand NEW, two night lights!
Blue dots on a scalloped porcelain shade!
And little flowers too!
You can read about them HERE.
I have soooo much more to tell you, but this is my first day back at typing and I’ve just been made a wee bit painfully aware, it’s time to stop! I’m only half done! Wah! Guess I will join Jack doing what we do best!
Still eating yummy whole food!
Have devolved to one-finger typing, left-hand ~ but one last thing, I’m reading this helpful book I think you might like.
Interesting book that reminds us of our lovely humanity . . .
We need to remember in our crazy world . . . also, from me to you💞, want to remind:

Everything is amazing, but those pumpkin heads!!! I don’t like gory or scary Halloween but your pumpkin heads are adorable
“He was run over by someone looking for a gif.”! 🤣 Gonna get that one at the library! Thank uou for sharing…love your letters and art 😍
Sorry about your wrist! Would love to be entered in a drawing to win!
Bummer about your wrist☹️Happy to see that Carrieatbrookend is back with us. Happy belated to Joe. Your friend in arf. Debby
So glad you’re back blogging! I’ve been checking every day for your post, that’s how much I enjoy them! Feel better quick! And thx for all the wonderful ideas and photos. They truly feed my soul:)
Oh Susan..I ‘so’ look forward to your letters! I read each and every one and always love looking at all your drawings and verses. So many things you write about and pictures you share, always brings back such pleasant ( and bittersweet) memories of days gone by. So many things I miss from long ago, but life chugs along and we must move along with it and savour each and every minute. One just can’t take life for granted! Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face and some joy to my day. ( take care of your broken/ mending wing!)
So sorry about your hand! You are still smiling in the photo which is nice to see!
Rest and heal ! Love all the cups !
Oh, how I’d love to win those cups! Adorable. So glad your wrist is recovering and hope it’s back to full strength soon. Love your quirky blogs. They make me smile!
Hello Susan, and Hello Girlfriends!! glad to see you are on the mend now and recovering beautifully, I can sympathize with you, I sprained my wrist, never turn your back on a rooster in the chicken yard. our overstuffed feather duster of a rooster tried to attack me and I had a bucket of feed with me. well the bucket landed on him and I hit the ground pretty hard and sprained my wrist… the left one!!! but the brace is off now and I am back to full speed after 2 weeks of healing. next time the rooster even gets near me I will have my bat ready for him….. WHAM!!! but the barnyard is busy, all the new babies are in the yard now and our rooster has been the center of flap and swat attacks by the youngsters, they flap up to him and swat at him with their wings and run for cover…. he hates that…LOL!!!! we have 6 wild turkeys hanging around so I throw some feed out to them, and our squirrels are busy gathering up nuts a bit early this year. that and their fur looks a bit thicker and darker now. the birds are all busy gathering seeds and eating, looks like everyone is getting ready for a long cold winter. the crickets are really singing and this weekend is the Labor Day festival… 2 days of Tuff Trucks and 3 days of my favorite burgers… Lion burgers. I don’t know what they do or how they do it but the Lions club makes the best burgers in the valley and I only get them once a year so I pig out a little…. YUM!!!! school starts next week, so the Labor Day festival is the last big hurrah for the summer and after that everything settles down a bit. the gardens have bees slow to produce this year but we are finally getting lots of eggplant, squash, tomatoes and peppers and my pumpkin patch is doing really well this year, lots of pumpkins for Halloween. for the Autumn decorations are slowly showing up around the house and my beloved Autumn towels are in the laundry and will be out on the line drying. pretty soon it will be time to stop watering the gardens and the lawns and roll up the hoses and hang them up, hang up the sprinklers and put the clothesline away…. I love my clothesline, everything smells so good after drying in the sunshine and fresh air. time to go hang up the last load of laundry for today and get those towels out in the sunshine to dry. time to also pull out soup and stew recipes and casseroles, hearty meals for Fall and Winter. have you heard the Fall/Winter predictions are out from the Farmer’s almanac….. going to a freezing, frosty, and bone-chilling winter this year and cold wet Fall. better get the sweaters, and warm jackets out and aired… Fall will be here soon. Have a great Labor day weekend everyone, Happy Labor Day. hugs……. 😀
Oh Susan, that was not FAIR to fall during yard sale prep. You love to do lovely things and often requires work, so thank goodness for your Joe. Keep healing and sharing your positive attitude. Love your quotes, also write them down. Oh that Jack, I want to reach through and pet him. Hmm, kitties are particular about that. Reading this lights up my day. Now will continue prep for the grandchildren visiting this weekend. I always go back to read again. Love your photo outfit!
I LOVE the champagne hearts cup! So charming. Thanks for your wonderful blog.
you have been busy!…in spite of the broken wrist…so glad you are almost totally mended!!!
Oh, everything is so lovely!!! I could get very lost in your world, to be sure.
My favorite time of day is morning–when everyone who works is away working and the young people are either asleep or off to school, and there’s no artificial dryer sheet scent funking up the air. It’s all so quiet then. You’ll find me on the patio. I hear twigs falling from the self-pruning willow, leaves whisper as they brush against each other on their way down, and bird song is crystal clear. The wind sounds sweeter when it doesn’t have to compete with horns honking, tires squealing, dogs barking and people shouting. I feel deeply connected to everything when we’re blessed with peace and quiet.
We’re overstimulated all day, every day and into the night. I think it explains why we’re so cross and short-tempered with each other. Overcrowding makes us push back against those we used to embrace. We all need quiet time to disconnect and recharge.
I do that when I come here to read your most recent posts. I don’t subscribe. I make a conscious effort to check your blog. Choice is freedom.
Thank you.
you are spot on regarding the NOISE, I feel its one of the biggest pollutants of this modern age and incredibly stressful.
We live up a hill from Lake Okanagan which is extremely beautiful, but sadly is ruined by the now constant roar of motorbikes and boats with extremely loud engines as well as light water aeroplanes, which gives me all the more reason to enjoy Autumn, especially Susan’s Autumn book, which my daughter gave me for Mother’s day this year and I’m waiting till its officially Autumn to read, can’t wait.
So sorry you have had to deal with a broken wrist. Times like this make you appreciate those “normal” days for how special they really are.
So sorry you are dealing with a broken wrist. Days like this make you appreciate how special those “normal” days really are.
So sorry to hear of your injury! Make sure to do all the physical therapy and take something for pain before you go. I just had knee replacement surgery, so I speak from experience!! Here’s hoping that your recovery will go smoothly and that you’ll soon be back to drawing and writing.
Great job, Joe, on the heart mug! I love it!
Thanks for another surprise in my mailbox, your cheerful blog! Just lightens my day no end.
Oh Susan! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Couldn’t wait to see the 2020 calendars. Was so surprised to see that there TWO calendars for 2020! Hoping to see you on the Cape this November to have them signed. Hopefully you will be all healed by then.
So sorry about your wrist! Especially the right one. Is there a wrong one ? Ha, ha! I hope you can get some of your work and correspondence done without too much darn wrist ache. Maybe Jack can help. I love the last pic in the blog with Jack’s paws up front. Don’t you love kitty and doggie paws? So sweet!
I just bought the “courage” bead and I love it. I like the pic you posted with your charms on a wrist bracelet. I have been looking for a neck chain for mine. Take care, and for wrist therapy, watch lots of old movies and drink lemonade in the garden. Love, Claudia
So sorry to hear about your accident. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I speak from experience, though, when I say sometimes we have to look at these types of situations as an opportunity to slow down and really take notice of the little things. It also helps to be pampered by the ones we love.😉. I hope you are back to normal strength soon–just in time for the beautiful transition to fall. God bless.
Get well soon.
Thanks for your blogs. They cheer me and we like all the same things! Hope your wrist is mending well.
Sending good thoughts for a speedy recovery. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 to win one of your fabulous mugs!!! Stay well.
susan, your items r so beautiful, however, m trying to b earth-friendly, so m downsizing since retiring 2 years ago (i can’t believe m retired, social security had to remind me!), so this email is just to say hello to you, joe, jack and all! happy labor day! good luck to one who gets your precious items! salve
My dear Susan. You are such an inspiration to me! Often times, I think we must be sisters…yes I know that’s a somewhat eerie thought, but it just seems that our minds think alike!! Perchance to dream that I might be a winner…heavenly, I say! Please don’t overdo things that might injure your wrist more than you think.
Thank you Susan..so thrilled to have your blog again…your poor hand…so difficult when these things happen..but there is always a way..take care
Wonderful to hear all the news and I ordered the bead charm immediately for my grand daughters birthday..hope it comes in time. She needs this..the words so much.. we share a birthday the 21st September so she is special in every way…
The mugs are beautiful I treasure the ones I have available over here..
To think it’s September in a few days….Autumn on its way..cooler nights here and darker too.
Thank you again for writing…
Sending love and blessings to you all
Sandra from Birmingham,x
Sorry for your accident…another turn on lives journey..
I love the mugs and would love to win one 🙂
What a bummer about your wrist, I can imagine how difficult everything is having only one hand to use especially with your main job being a writer/artist. I hope you recover quick so you can get back to regular ‘ole life!
Better late than never, always look forward to your Blogs and hope you are feeling 100% real soon.
I too broke my wrist and like you I didn’t baby it so as a result I did not need physical therapy. Hopefully the same will happen for you, It’s amazing how limited we are without the use of both hands!
I love all the new items, especially Joe’s bubbly heart cups!!! I guess your talent is rubbing off on him!
Actually I was hoping your surprise was telling us they’re finally going to make that movie about your life! I’m rooting for it….
XOXO
Sorry for your injury. It sounds inconvenient. My right leg and your right arm may be bumbling cousins. I’m in an air cast and walking boot without a good story to tell behind. It happened at my favourite place – our cottage by the lake
Now I’m resting and being entertained my minx, mergansers, loons, Canada geese, bears, two cats, my dog Joy and my grown daughter. It is a wonderful world.
As you quoted
“Come away oh human child to the waters and the wild”.
Any of your giveaways will be cherished in this special place.
May we both be granted quick and complete healing Susan.
Roselin, Are you in Maine? Or any of the Northern Kingdom states? It is indeed a wonderful world with the call of the loon. I have been in those air casts, boots, for 2 fractures of feet….at different times within an 8 month period. I’d choose broken foot over hands. Having surgeries on both hands now, and I’m going nuts not being able to manipulate things.
Debbie in Maine
Your posts always brighten my day, Susan!! And I love those dishes!!!!
I was wondering where you were. Nice to have you back. Sorry about your wrist. Love seeing pictures of Jack. What a love he is. I already have my calendar and blotter. I love them. Thank you for everything you do. I just printed my new bookmark. Jane
Love you Susan…..you are such an inspiration to me …….Get better soon….
Dear Susan,
Veel Beterschap! to you! ( get well soon) in Dutch.Here in the Netherlands we’re having our last week of summervacation, next week school starts again.
Lots of love from Willemien
Love all your give-aways. Your art is just so inspiring!! Hope you mend quickly.
So sorry about your wrist!!! I do hope you will get the cast off soon and be back to writing, painting, drawing and inspiring us all with your creativity. Love all the products! Love the picture of Jack at the end with the quote about the snow & silence. 🙂 A little silence every now and again is beautiful! Blessings!
Love all your mugs, books & calendars
God speed your healing
Until pain free and limber you’ll be feeling
Glad you were able to get your big girl pants out
You wore them with a smile and a humorous pout
Now fold them up gently and put them way back in the drawer
We all love and look forward to your writings and more
Warm luvies to you
Get well soon! I LOVE your cups!
I ordered the book you recommended because it sounds like just what I need. We have a hurricane coming!!! I bought donuts to eat while it storms and will dink Downton Abbey tea from your cup with the night sky and stars. Something to look forward to while living through a nasty bit of weather. I hope your wrist heals completely so you can get back to your painting. I know we all would miss the beauty and sweetness of your work!
Susan,
Darn it – I hate to hear about your wrist. I am sure it has been very frustrating to say the least. Thank God you had Joe to help and Jack to comfort you. I had been wondering why you hadn’t posted on your blog.
So excited about the arrival of the new mugs!
Wishing you a most speedy recovery
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!
Susan hope you heal quickly. As always love to receive my new blog and thank you so much, even though your in the recovery for making my day. Prays for you and Joe.
Oh my, I was wondering what kept you away for so long. Hope all is better by that September date. I have a girlfriend waiting for a similar date in September to have her sling removed so she can get back to things like driving and drying her hair!
What a luvlee post! So full of positive thoughts and encouragement. I love your art, but I also love your spirit and air of kindness with enthusiasm. So much to admire and aspire to.
I love your dressing style and your kitty is beautiful!
Susan, glad to hear you are on the mend. I am loving your new products and look forward to seeing the new stuff in your blogs. Have you thought about using your designs for washi tape? My journal and I would be truly grateful. 🙂 I am trying hard to make my journal look like your “A Fine Romance” travel book/journal. Well, just a thought. Washi tape or not, you continue to inspire me! Take good care of the loves in your life!
I’m impressed, Susan, with your eating habits. The food looks delicious.
Love Joe’s champagne hearts! Nice job!
Susan, I feel cheer every time I read one of your blogs!!! You keep me grounded topretty things, caring about others, enjoying simple things like shadows! Thank you for being “you”. Hugs to Joe for coming up with such a cute idea for the cup of champagne bubbles!!!
Donna (Idaho)
Every posting of yours is always so cheery- even when you have been down and out, your cheeriness shines through. Thank you for always brightening my day!
Ouch…that’s worse than my knee surgery! I knew it was coming. Life throws a curve now and then. Get well soon.
I love all the wonderful new cups!
That Joe of yours!!!!! Y’all are so blessed and are such a great blessing to so many! Happy continued healing dear Sue🎀
I love to read your blogs. While traveling to Mich, I am reading A Fine Romance and sharing with my husband who is driving.
Your comment, above, “I detect a need for cheer” is right on the nose for me. My husband had a heart attack last week while playing golf with some of his friends. Luckily, they performed CPR until the ambulance got there and they were able to shock his heart a couple of times to get it restarted. Plus, they just happened to be playing at a course just a few miles from the best hospital in Mid-Missouri. We have a long road ahead of us, but hope he will have a long life yet. I’m exhausted and emotional, but your post did cheer me up, as always. I was sorry to hear about your broken wrist. Didn’t you have a rainout the last time you planned a rummage sale? Maybe someone’s trying to tell you something.
Sorry to hear of your accident. Heal quickly and feel better. Excited to read your latest blog. Always enjoy them. Good to see Jack in such good form.
I love the champagne hearts. Such a great idea! Feel better and mend soon from one Susan to another.
Susan
You are a generous hearted soul and constantly make me happy to read your posts and follow along with you. I hunt for your beautiful creations and hope to win one of your mugs. I fell in love with the pumpkin one but alas, I was too late.
Hugs and Happiness to you and yours.
Lynne, “Lynne with an e” a wink to Anne
I love the inspiration and encouragement you give us in your newsletter. I try to do the same for friends, acquaintances and people in need. Among other things, I encourage them to “Survive and Thrive!”, a choice within our reach!
Oh a broken wrist, so sorry. Hoping it heals quick. 🥰
Hi Susan,
Feel better soon! hugs
So glad to hear the wrist is on the mend! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Yikes, Susan, so sorry about your wrist. And, of course, it’s your right wrist. I’m just glad you are able to do a few of the things you like to do while you are healing. I myself fell about a year ago. I was walking with my husband and dog and the next thing I knew, I was down in the middle of the street. I had broken my right arm, but it was a clean break and I didn’t even have to wear a cast. Thank you for taking time to update us on everything – we miss you. I hope you heal quickly and that you are back to normal ASAP. You are definitely an inspiration.
Thank you for this giveaway! I’m praying that the Lord heals your hand and you’ll soon be back to doing all the things you love.
Susan, so glad that you are on the mend. I love reading through your newsy letters to see what you and your creative spirit have been up to! Have you considered designing a line of washi tape? My journal and I would be very happy if you did! I am working on making my journals look like your wonderful “A Fine Romance” book. Just thought I’d send that little idea to you…
I am inspired by you…thank you for sparking my creative spirit…
Your cups look even better than on the website. I have found many reasons to celebrate with my “Red Letter Day!” Cup!
One of my faves!💞
I’m so sorry to hear of your wrist problem. I am having a problem with my right wrist too. I never realized how much I depend on it. Greater appreciation now for sure. Wishing you good (and fast) healing.
So sorry about your wrist! You do find out how important different body parts are when something goes amiss. I can relate a little as I have a pinched nerve in my right foot, yup the right one. The one that drives the car, and starts you walking and dancing and tapping to music and everything in between. Injections into a nerve is really a joy too! LOL. I need 6, one every two weeks and it feels like a drill right through my foot. How did I get such a thing? Sitting crossed legged on my bed, by scrunching my right foot under my legs! Everyone asks so I thought I’d just put it out there. After the injection pain wears off, I always laugh at myself. Only I could have a pinched nerve from just sitting! If there’s a way to get hurt by seemingly doing nothing, I’m your gal! As my husband says each morning before work, don’t hurt yourself today. I hope you enjoyed my funny tale of my one right foot LOL. HEAL FAST SUSAN WE ADORE YOU!
❗️❗️😲, love your positive voice!
Love the cups!
Posted a comment on August 28th and cannot find it; so will say again how sorry I was about your wrist and hope it will continue to heal quickly. Loved all the new items and I especially love your beautiful Jack. I have two black and white cats and they are both such a joy. Marley boy helps my husband with his exercises every morning; and my Lily girl provides lots of hugs and kisses. Thank you for this wonderful blog, always a special addition to my day.
Heal well, Carol
Thanks for helping me to slow down and smell the roses.”-Deb
Delightful! What a blessing you are, Susan! ❤️
Oh I love that charm! It’s so beautiful 😍
I’m sorry about your fracture. Hope it will heal soon. Love all your mugs.
Please choose me! I love your artwork and your books.
Rereading Gladys Taber.👍
Dear Susan… I have missed you!! And I understand what you have been dealing with…having broken my right arm 10 years ago. So glad you are healing!! I found that knitting was great therapy after the Dr. gave the OK. Blessings, Pauline
Your blogs are always like a breath of fresh air 🌺
Thank you!
I’m so sorry you broke your wrist. It will be healed before you know it!
So sorry about your hand! Thank you for the giveaway. The mugs are wonderful!!
Hope your wrist heals quickly. Love your blog and your art!
Love the new cups! ❤️ Hope you are feeling better soon!
Thank you for Continuing to spread the goodness! 🌞😘
You know Susan, as a fellow illustrator, it always been great fear of mine to hurt my right hand as I use it to do! I appreciate your sharing though, as it helps me get a feel for what it is like should this ever happen! Be patient with yourself as you want to heal well! I am in love with Jack and always makes me smile when you add him to your blog! Also I am so proud of Joe for stepping out of his comfort zone and yes he is an artist you can tell! That is so sweet and he did a great job! I’ve been meaning to ask you though, have a cup size is changed since your old ones as they seem smaller to me. I really want to Martha’s Vineyard one but refused to buy it unless I visit it! Some day soon I hope! As I mentioned in a previous comment, I so love how you dress and this outfit that you are wearing is so charming! A true artist! Please let us know how you are healing up!!
Congrats to Joe on his first cup! I think he had an excellent, artistic idea.
Wishing you quiet and healing!
Well so happy to hear you are healing and each day is getting a wee bit better for you. Love all your beautiful designs and looking forward to your post that always offer a bright side of life and a cheerful nod to the rhythm of the seasons. We adore the flowers and feathered friends in our yard each day and your art reflects so many of those scenes. Thank you Linda P.S. So sweet are the Champagne Heart! Hats off to Joe!
You are just magical and sew inspiring! Thank you for all the wonderful quotes and beautiful watercolors. Here’s hoping you heal quickly. God Bless You, Susan!
All the cups are darling, but my favorite is the pumpkin cup!
Love everything it lifts my spirits.
Dearest Susan you are such a dear, dear soul. Always looking on the bright side and appreciating the small things, which really are the big things, in life. You are an inspiration for me and many. Thank You!
So excited to see the season mugs as a give-a-way! I’m sure you don’t remember but I asked if you would ever sell them as a set? I would love to have them! So sorry about your fall! I can relate as I have had numerous falls but, thankfully, haven’t broken anything…yet. Prayers for speed healing! As a friend of mine once said, “nobody’s got time for that!”
Not sure what I can say that hasn’t been said already. So I’ll repeat the thought that reading your posts always makes me happy. I wish you well!
Glad you are mending. Great post.
Oh dear Susan,
I’ve been wondering where you are…. Bless your heart! What a bummer about your hand. I am thankful it wasn’t worse.
Love Joe’s cup 🙂 it is adorable!!! it’s all just adorable 🙂
xxoo
Debby
Sorry about your wrist Sue… must be so difficult not doing stuff we take for granted. Especially for you being an artist. As long as you can sip wine using your left hand! Happy healing! 😁
Love your collaboration with Joe, what a team!! Sorry about your wrist and hope you are well soon. Just love your blog!!!!
Greetings from your partner in pain in CA. I fell on my way to a wedding no less and now have a matching splint on my left hand…broken bone below my pinky. I always love your posts and look forward to each. Enjoy your imposed rest as much as possible.
