Coping mechanisms

Well, it has been a strange year so far. This past Friday I was at the hospital for a surgical procedure, and have spent the weekend resting, recovering, and crafting. (Creating things is the cornerstone of my coping skills....the last time something like this happened, I finished about a dozen scrapbook pages.) So I started and finished Lizzie Kate's "Welcome Baby" snippet, for my step-sister-in-law's new little one. I was going to frame it, but a bag finish seemed a bit more useful. I might put a few things in it, and then Mommy can use it in the future to store baby momentos or something.

- The Dye is Cast's "Thyme"
- Carrie's Creations "Magenta"
- Six Strand Sweets' "Blackberry Cordial" and "Blueberry Pie"
I used a heart button from my stash instead of the rose button called for

I also worked on "Labyrinth" a bit more, but I was getting bored with the yellow and blue......
