I have had SO many email about mom....Mom is improving and getting stronger each day. Please remember she does not have a CAT scan for 4 months...so I am unable to tell you anything more until then-but we just know it's going to come back clear!! For now we are focusing on regaining her strength so she can enjoy the things she is used to. She retired (she owned her own Greenhouses for over 30 years) after her busy season this year and sold her greenhouses and inventory...she is finding herself a bit bored right now-but I really think a lot of it has to do with the weather, her surgery and slow recovery. She is a VERY crafty lady...I am HOPING she will get into some crafting when she feels more like herself. PLUS my dad is retiring at the end of the year...they will be able to do things together. They really enjoy going for trips on their motorcycle-so I am hoping that everything works out and they will be able to go all they want and enjoy each other and the places they visit.
Our visitor (looking as if this will be our future son-in-law) is still here for 3 more weeks. PLEASE note that I am taking a break from emails and visiting blogs while he is here. Also, you do not need to email me about the BAP challenge unless you DO NOT have a blog :) I will keep up with you VIA your blogs. I may not comment-but I will stop by to see your progresses as you share them. Thanks so much!
Thanks for stopping by :) Please do come again!
hugs and love from SC :)

Hi Becky, Glad you are having a nice visit. Your stitchings are all fabulous! Glad to hear your mom is on the mend, I will send good thoughts that all the tests come back good. Thanks for the reminder of the BAP, I am still waiting for mine to arrive in the mail... I think it is lost somewhere between Canada and Connecticut! Hope I can start it soon. Have a lovely day!
Glad to hear that your mum is doing well. Lovely stitching, the RAK is beautifully finished (love that fabric). How are you going to finish Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow? Frame? wall-hanging? It looks so big when you see all of it laid out!
Hi Becky. Great stitching as always. Love the RAK piece. My favorite is AaHRH. It is just gorgeous. I have it in my stash. Someday I hope to stitch it.
I have updated by blog with progress on my BAP. Here is the link:

Sorry about the BAP emails. I think I misunderstodd the instructions. : )
Becky --
I've been thinking about you and your Mom but haven't wanted to bother you as I know you are so busy with guest and your Mom. I'm so glad that your Mom is doing well. I'm sure once she starts feeling 100% she will be busy finding "crafty" things to do.
Love your LHN pillow. Just darling. WOW -- AaHRH is looking great. You go girl:)) and Flower Power is coming along too. You have been busy stitching! YEAH:)))
Take care dear friend:)))
BIG HUGS to you.
I am sure your mum will get better! And this is good news that the visitor is a future relative!AriadnefromGreece!

I love your finish - it is gorgeous. Lovely progress on the blocks.
Hi Becky! Glad to hear your mom is getting along well and your house guest made it safe and sound. I love your stitching progress and your RAK is simply too cute for words. Have a great day!
Dear Becky!
I'm glad that your mom is better ... God bless her!
I admire your skill ... you are so quickly embroider ... I really like it!
I have absolutely no time embroider ... work and my cat swallowed a needle (knock yourself on the head :((...) and he had the surgery ....

Your progress on AaHRH is amazing! And the finish on your new RAK looks so nice with that lovely sunflower fabric. You have quite the eye for choosing the perfect things!
Becky, the RAK is beautiful, love the heart buttons, someone is going to be thrilled with that.
I am in awe of AaHRH, I've said it before, its stunning, you must be so pleased with it, I can't wait to see it finished.
Flower Power is pretty, love the colours.
So glad to read your Mom is doing well, sending her big love and hugs xx
Enjoy your time with your guest.
Love to you all

Glad to hear your Mum is progressing well, having things to look forward to (such as your Dad retiring and planning trips on the motorbike) will help her recovery.
Your stitching is beautiful, I'm always amazed how much you have achieved.
Wishing your daughter and possible future son-in-law every happiness.

Beautiful work - As always !!!
Lovely little RAK gift you have finished and your progress is coming along nicely on AAHRH.
Your Mum and Dad sure have some wonderful times to look forward to when they are both retired, they will be plotting holiday destinations and road trips in no time.
Take care and hugs to you
Beautiful little pillow hun; love the sunflower material. Glad your mom is feeling stronger every day. Take care hun.
Hugs, Shar
Sweet finish Becky! And love the block you finished on the HRH piece...for some reason the chimneys and the smoke remind me of cherries...
Continued best wishes for your mom's recovery...
Enjoy this time with your visitor!!
More wonderful projects...very nice, Becky.
I'm just glad your mom's surgery is over and she's on the mend. I continue to pray for her recovery.
How nice to have so much time to get to know your (maybe) future son-in-law.
Take care and keep stitchin'

Hi Becky, so glad to hear that your Mom is doing well.
Love all that you have been working on - Autumn at Hawks Hollow is coming along nicely, I have started this and have done the top.
Oh, that turned out cute.
Your AAHRH is looking sooooooo pretty.
Congrats on picking up Flower Power again.
Marilyn
Oh Becky, that is just the sweetest RAK stitch and finish! LOVE this one! (Congrats on the potential SIL, btw!) :)
I have wondered about Flower Power on more that one occasion. I remember when you bought the fabric for that one and started on it. I'm so happy that it has found it's way back into your loving needle! I saw FP finished and framed a while back and it was an AMAZING piece! Can't wait to see yours "bloom"! :)
We're going through our own cancer scare with our son at the moment. The stress is off the charts - even for "believers". Here's praying that your mom's cat scan will be clear and that she and your dad will be "burning rubber" happily together soon! :)
Gorgeous; gorgeous; gorgeous!
Hi Becky, glad to read your Mom is revoring well. Your stitching is gorgeous... as always!
Hugs from germany, Gabi
beautiful stitching
Glad to hear that your Mom is doing well and recovering.
All of your stitching is beautiful.
Love the pillow. So cute!
Your Hawk Run piece is looking great. You are really moving on this one.
Ah, Flower Power... such a neat chart. I hope to see more of it.
Good Morning! I have been checking every morning for a post, so happy to see one.
Glad that your Mom is doing well, and that your parents will be able to enjoy some wonderful free time.
A nice ride to the upstate would be wonderful come spring.
Your RAK is just beautiful as usual. I love your finishing and also how you photograph them.
Congratualations on an upcoming new family member. Enjoy your visit.
Also the AAHRH is just beautiful. I too am waiting to see how you finish it.
Prayers for all.
Flower Power looks great! Day lilies always remind me of summer...and my mom, and grandmom--they were both avid day lily fans, I have several of their plants in my own garden now...
and by the way...we've been enjoying Brie more often now that I've seen your wonderful Brie-box project. I can't wait to copy it to make gifts for my sisters this year!
continued prayers for your mother's recovery...
I'm glad to hear that your Mom is progressing well. I hope things continue this way and she is into her crafting before you know it.
Love your RAK! A truly lovely
finish for some lucky reader.
AaHRH is really progressing nicely. Good for you to keep up with your goal!
I'm glad to hear your mom is doing so well! Many hugs and prayers!
Your stitching, as usual, is gorgeous! And Flower Power..!! Wow! I love that one! I'm anxious to watch your progress on this one!
What great stitching and finishing!
Someone is going to be real lucky.
Continued prayer for recovery for your mom. Enjoy your visit!
Gorgeous stitching Becky, I love the Flowers and of course your Autumn At hawk Run Hollow:)
What beautiful stitching Becky. Take care - I continue to think about you and your Mum. You are in my thoughts my friend xx
Hi Becky - All your projects look beautiful, I especially love the flowers...just gorgeous. So glad to hear Mom is progressing :). Enjoy your weekend.
Smiles, DianeM
Glad to hear your Mum is slowly recovering. It is so nice that your parents have something to look forward to when you Dad retires.
I haven't seen flower power before, it is very pretty in design and colour.
It will be very exciting if there is going to be a wedding. My son gets married in April.
I have started my BAP for the challenge.
Wishing you a good weekend xxx
Becky I am so glad to hear that your Mom is doing well.
What a beautiful finish. I love how you finish all your stitching. You always find the most beautiful fabrics and trims.
Fantastic progress on AaHRH!
Becky, really glad your Mom is regaining her strength. I continue to keep her in my thoughts. Flower power? Not what I am used to seeing on your blog but it is really beautiful. Marty
Congrats on finishing 8 blocks!!! Amazing!! Can't wait to see more! That flower power design is lovely and your mom will treasure it. Great news on your mom. I'm glad she is getting stronger each day. I can understand that she would feel bored after selling her greenhouses, hopefully she will pick up something less strenuous to focus on.
Thanks for letting me know about the BAP progress. I was going to send you a progress pic, but glad I didn't!!
Your RAK turned out adorable. Great job on block 8. The flower piece is very nice. Glad to hear that Mom is doing well and on the road to recovery.
Beautiful, beautiful works...
Hugs
