I made my mom a lavender sachet for Mother's Day. I got this pattern from Freebies for Crafters. Khris is always sharing great links for things to make.
I would like to wish all of you are mothers a Very Happy Mother's Day. Enjoy your day!
For those of you who follow my blog you know that I have been having problems with my elbow. The tendonitis has flared up again. The pain has never really gone completely away so I decided to see a new physical therapist and he highly recommends that I stay off the computer and not do any hand work. So for the next three weeks I will not be doing any posts. This is going to be hard for me and I sure will miss visiting with you all. I am going to use this time to go through my UFO piles and see how I can get the projects closer to being finished. So I will be back in June.With Passion,
Carrie P.

I seem to have that problem myself and not enough sense to stop using my arm;) I hope you feel better soon, will miss your posts.

Now THAT is a pretty flower. Looks like pink lemonade. :) I love that you use different prints for the petals.
Sorry to hear about your elbow. Take it easy so you can get better.
I LOVE the little sachet! I'm going to have to add it to my "to-do" list (once I figure out how to add a to-do list to my blog)! Great work!
I forgot to add... you can comment by proxy. Get a helper to type for you! AND go to your local health store and get some Arnica (a natural supplement). It is excellent for buising, muscles, and tendons and other soft tissue healing. A cream is great to rub right on the spot, but you can also take a small capsule for your whole body. Hope you are better soon and go find that assistant typist! ;o)
hi Carrie...
I hope that your break helps you and that you get alot of UFO planning accomplished.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day.

Your hexxie flower and sachet are both lovely, Carrie! I hope you have a very happy and blessed Mother's Day - I am so going to miss you. But I understand completely, been there done that! Do as he says and I will be praying that you heal completely. And don't you dare reply to any of these posts, lol! Read some good books, watch some mindless tv, go visiting and soak up lots of sunshine.
Be well, dear one.
Carrie, good luck at working on your UFO's. I'm saying a little prayer you'll get the rest needed for your elbow. I'll miss your posts as I check each day to see if you left a note on your blog.
Oh no, quilter down! I hope you enjoy the break but most importantly that you get the elbow back in working order.
Take care dear Carrie. Hope your pain reduces over the weeks.
Good luck on your UFO pile, and wishing you a busy mind.
I'm praying that you will have a complete and speedy recovery, Carrie. Will it hurt to turn the pages of quilting magazines? Cup of tea, a glass of lemonade, put your feet up and REST. Hugs!
Lovely flower. Hope you will recover soon.
Be blessed

We will just have to look forward to your ufo projects getting done and ready for you to show us at the end of the few weeks. Take care and I hope your arm recovers.
I hope Mr. Passion (How cute is that name!?) checks your email for you and passes along my good wishes. I'm terribly sorry for you to have a pain that keeps you from your favorite things. Hang tough!
Carrie I too hope you recuperate soon. I love the flower and the sachet you made your mom. Happy mothers day to you too.
Sweet sachet. We'll be here when you get back. Take good care of yourself and Happy Healing.
Hope the elbow is bertter real soon. I had that problem years ago and wore a wide strap around my arm just below the elbow and that helped a lot.
Very sweet sachet. I must make one too!
Will miss your blog but hopefully a rest will do your elbow good! I have tendonitis in my wrist so I understand how painful it can be.
Oh am I going to miss your posta.....but would rather that you are not in pain. Have a wonderful Mothers Day and enjoy your planning holiday.
I hope your elbow gets better soon. Happy Mother's Day. Good luck with those UFOs.
Oh no I'm so sorry that your elbow is bothering you again. Take care of it and know that we'll wait right here!
Sweet hexagon flower!
We'll miss you! Take good care!
What a sweet hexi flower.
Take time to heal, Carrie. I hope the rest works.
Love your projects.
Take care of yourself and let your elbow heal. We'll miss you.
Take care of yourself - I'll miss you and all the great information (and quotes) that you share with us. I'm guessing you shouldn't do housework or cook dinner for the next few weeks either! ;)

Get well! I'll miss seeing your posts.
Oh, we will miss you but it is something you must do.
BTW, do doctors look for the one thing you love the most and decide that is the one thing you must do without?! Just a rhetorical question. Don't answer....I want you to get better!!
Rest is best though we will all be missing you.
Take care :0)

Oh Carrie - I'm so sorry to hear that your elbow is still giving you pain. I hope that resting it will give you a full recovery! What a pretty little sachet for your Mom. Happy Mother's Day to you too. I'll be praying for you.
will be thinking of you. After 3 weeks your head will be full of lovely ideas! Be strong! Hugs, Daniëlle XXXD
Oh Carrie, NO!!! Not again! I am here and will help you in any way I can. Look at how many movies you can catch up on. Email if you need me!
Happy Mother's Day Carrie! Take care of yourself, follow the instructions of your physical therapist and see you soon!
Praying that the time away is effective in healing your elbow & working out your UFO's. Have a lovely mothers day on Sunday & I look forward to "seeing" you again in June. Do take care & "try" to follow doctors orders??
Your flower is beautiful Carrie! I wish you a speedy recovery with your elbow and I will see you in June.
Dear Carrie, I feel the same way as everyone else: please, take care of yourself, rest that elbow and get better soon. Imagine how refreshed and inspired and motivated you will be when the 3 weeks are done! :)
We'll be here, cheering you on and waiting your return, :), lovely Hexi-flower and what a gorgeous sachet! And have a Lovely Mothersday, too!
Happy Mothers Day sweet friend. You will be missed during your absence, but it sounds as though the doctor is a wise one and I shall be praying that this time away from things that aggravate your elbow will be a time of healing and refreshment. {{{hugs}}}

Your flowers are so lovely! and bluebird nest! How wonderful! So glad I have found your lovely blog!
Happy Mother's Day!
I will definately miss your posts, but you need to get yourself all better. Here's to hoping you mend well and quickly! Love your hexies and the sachet you made is darling, I'm sure your Mother will love it!
So sorry to hear your elbow is flairing up again Carrie!!! You will be missed!!!
How pretty, Carrie.
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Enjoyed looking at your flower...you do some lovely work...and I do hope you elbow is improving - not nice tha have that problem. Hope your Mothers day was wonderful.
I hope you won't think I'm a nut, but I have two suggestions that may help you. First is "Two Old Goats" lotion. It is amazing stuff (you can buy it online if you don't have a local source). I use it every day for pain. Second is, have you considered acupuncture? I was absolutely a sceptic until I did it myself. It's pretty amazing. Hope you feel better soon! I really enjoy your blog!
Oh dear, take care of yourself and we'll see you when you are ready to come back!
Get better Carrie. Applique is so important. Guard that elbow!!!
Carrie:
I hope you take care of yourself and get better soon. Rest all the time you need for a complete recovery. We will miss you.
Pam
I stopped by to let you know I was thinking about you today. Hope your doing well.
Hi Carrie,
I hope the rest is helping. Are you going through withdrawal yet? lol It must be so hard not being able to pick up your applique or stitchery.
Take care.
I hope you are noticing less pain in your elbow. Just wanted to let you know that I miss your blog entries - I think I'M going through withdrawal!! dsb448@att.net
You made a lovely flower. I hope your arm recovers soon (so that you can make many more of these cuties ;-)
Best wishes. Joke.

Hi Carrie, I hope the physical therapy is going well. Love your hexie blocks and your beautiful flower embroidery. Looking forward to seeing you back sharing those projects you're working on.
I'm finally starting to catch-up with my favorite blogs-- and so I'm a little late finding out about your break. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, that the new therapy is working for you. :) Hope you are able to be back soon!
I hope your elbow is feeling much better now and the physical therapy has worked well.
I look forward to seeing you post again soon, Carrie.
