Hi all, I’m back home recuperating from my gallbladder removal surgery. It’s been a long month. 3 times admitted to the hospital and finally it just got so bad, they had to do an emergency op. I’ve been staying at my dad’s for a week after that since I could not carry heavy things a.k.a. my daughter or climb stairs. But I miss home so much I decided to return a few days ago

Also sadly, a day after my surgery, my dad told me that my youngest sister has passed away. She was only 23. She has been in intensive care unit for more than a month fighting for her life. She had Lupus (SLE) and it had attacked her kidneys, lungs and she also had bleeding in her brain. She was in a lot of pain. I’m sad to see her go but I’m glad she’s no longer in pain. My last visit with her was perfect and I was happy to see her smile. We resolved a lot of things and I hope she was happy at that moment.

Last but not least, I would like to thank all of you dear customers and friends for all your wishes, prayers and amazing patience. I’m not a stranger to deaths in the family having lost my mom, her 2 sisters, my grandfather and now my sis. Still I can’t say it gets any easier.

Hey all, check out my creative customer’s completed apron :))) Instead of just stitching on the designated area, she found that she could stitch on the other parts of the apron too. Now this is truly making it your own!
