Hi everyone. Back again after a little break. Thanks so much for everyone's well wishes. One round of chemo down, three to go. I think I can...I think I can... In the meantime I have been playing with Cosmo threads to create a new stitchery kit to celebrate hope, love and friendship.
I have really enjoyed using a pink varigated thread on pretty, soft pink, linen. The kit will be available in varigated pink thread on pink linen, or candy pink thread on white linen. The choice is yours!
I have used some beautiful Flower Sugar fabric by LECIEN for the border. Feeling really girly and pink!
This stitchery has been so much fun to create! It is the perfect gift for anyone going through breast cancer as it will remind them of your frienship and support.
Speaking of support, my family and friends have been so amazing. I feel blessed beyond words! Here is a little sneek peek of a place I've been retreating to. Created especially for me by a beautiful friend. When I am here, I am safe, warm, and stitching!
Enjoy your creation,
Rosalie xx

Hi Rosalie, just wishing you good luck and all the best with your treatment. Just backtracked through your blog - I didn't know til now that you were unwell again. I'm so sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you. I have made so many of your designs and have your books - they are all beautiful. I especially love making the soft toys you have designed. I feel as if I know you as I've been following your career for a long time through the craft magazines etc. My sister and another close friend are both breast cancer survivors and I am aware how hard this must be for you. Regards, Jill xx

As I understand, I've fought in 2008 for the same thing. Strength and courage. This embroidery is truly a marvel.
