So many well wishes, kind and consoling words
have been posted by so many
beautiful blogging friends
on the loss of our darling
"Cherie"
last week
that I was totally blown away!
Sincere heartfelt thanks
to all of you most
wonderful
friends.
Also just yesterday arrived this most beautiful surprise
from all the staff at our local Vet Clinic
who have been active in
caring for her
in the
final months.
Included was a most beautiful poem.
Just how special is that
and
was she
to be loved so much!
Now life goes on somehow and before our recent episode I had started a
small baby quilt for my girlfriend's daughter who has
recently had a baby boy and who just
loves these
colours.
It is coming with Jeff and I when we visit my ailing 91 year old Dad
who lives in Adelaide (interstate) next week.
I had also just finished another little fabric and paper journal like this
which will become available for sale.
Let me know if anyone of you are interested!
And speaking of journals I wanted to share this beautiful little paper and lace
journal which I won in a giveaway from
I think Anna has only very recently started on her journey of making a journal or two.
She does the most beautiful paintings which
you should see on her blog!!!
Beautiful work Anna and thank you so much for this gift I won.
It is just so pretty.
Just one more thing to share:
this vintage Fleur-de-lis
pewter plate
which is very happy to be sharing company
with some other vintage silver and pewter items
and jewellry on top of this
cupboard in my
studio.
Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and comments
during this really difficult time!
And
Love and hugs to you all,
Suzy xxx
Suzi, the quilt is fabulous I am sure she will love it. Your journal is beautiful. I love the rich blue in lower corner with rose on it. It looks dreamy and romantic, Imagine is a great title for it.

Hello, dearest Suzy, That was a sweet gesture of the vet clinic. Cherie had been loved very much and will be missed.
ReplyDeleteYour girlfriend's daughter will be thrilled to see the beautiful baby quilt you have made for her and your new journal is fantastic with all the layers of fabrics and laces and the lovely rose. The touches of teal look wonderful combined with the vintage creamy tones.
Congratulations on winning the pretty journal!
What a lovely pewter plate you have found. It's a wonderful piece for your collection.
I know that it's still a difficult time for you and I hope you can find some distraction in your studio.
Sending you lots of big hugs and warm wishes, dear friend,

It is nice to know that those at the vet clinic are so caring! You don't find many businesses that will take the time for such heartfelt gestures. The quilt you made is beautiful and the journal is fabulous! So much detail! Congrats on winning your own handmade journal from Anna. Have a terrific Tuesday. Tammy
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely thought from the vet clinic and oh so kind words.
ReplyDeleteThose are great fabrics in the quilt, I really like the flashes of red.
Beautiful journals!!!
Hi Suzy. I saw the title of your post and send a belated condolence on the loss of your beloved furry family member. It is truly a gesture of love to take care of our pets the best we can.....and then let them go peacefully. I know it will take time (believe me, I know). It looks like you're keeping yourself busy by creating and giving to others. Another loving gesture! Take care.
ReplyDeleteA big hug to you.......Angie
Dear Suzy,
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, the card from your vet was so touching...I know that this gesture of love must have been so special to you...
