Angels among us.....

Most of you know that I was incapacitated over the holidays, and all of January, with a severe case of sciatica.  I am now back to work thanks to the new osteopath in Mahone Bay that I am affectionately calling Thomas, The Welsh Healing God.  He not only set my sciatica straight, but we are working on an old injury from 2007 that causes pain and the occasionally limp.  He suggested various stretches and 20 minutes every second day on an exercise bike to repair a meniscus problem in my knee and low and behold, I am now able to go up and down the stairs using both legs instead of leading with my left and hauling up the gimpy one after me.  My future has become a whole lot brighter. 

During my stay at home, when I was able to sit in a chair comfortably, I logged into the computer and opened my work emails to check what I was missing.  One day I found an email with a photo of our pattern ANGEL, magnificently hooked by Leisa Hillman.  I am sure most people who choose one of my patterns don’t realize how seeing them so beautifully hooked lifts my spirits to higher levels and creates a warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart.  Her writing was even more heartwarming, here is our correspondence. 
​
Dear Christine,

I am a rug hooker from the Omaha, Nebraska area and purchased your "Angel" pattern a few years ago. I searched for the perfect pattern and this was the most beautiful angel design I found. My mom loves angels so I hooked it as a surprise for her. I gave the angel red hair like Mom and made her robe the color of my mom's best dress when I was growing up. I started it in a Diane Stoffel class and finished on my own. Diane was great at helping to color plan my rug - as she always is! Once I completed it, I had it framed. Mom lives about 500 miles away in Oklahoma so I only get to see her a few times per year. My son and I drove down unannounced and surprised her with her rug this past spring. She loved it! (After she got over the shock of us just showing up at her door. :)) She hung it on a wall protecting it from sunlight but where people can see it. She said it made her move many other pieces of furniture and wall hangings so she was one powerful angel!
 
I had entered this rug in the Celebration contest and got word this morning that it received Honorable Mention. I'm very excited and proud! I've been hooking for about 4 years and this is my second time to enter Celebration and my second time being selected. Your pattern is just lovely and one of my favorite commercial patterns I have seen. So, thank you for creating a beautiful pattern! It was a pleasure to hook. When you create a design, I'm sure you have no idea what it can mean to someone and so I thought I would tell you how this one touched my life. I am enclosing a picture of my completed project.   All my best, Leisa.
 
Dear Leisa,
 
Congratulations on being selected for Celebration Magazine with ANGEL!  So exciting for you, the talented rug hooker that brought the design to life and me, for inspiring you with the design.  The rug is a masterpiece and the sentiment attached makes it even more fantastic.   
 
This pattern was always special to me.  Many, many, gosh 30+ years ago, I drew two of these angels, each one was 4' x 8' on pieces of Masonite that were for a Christmas concert in one of the local churches.  They hung facing each other, high up on the arch over the pulpit, facing one another and appeared to be in flight.  I wish I had a picture of them and I believe the actual angels are long gone.  Many years later when I opened the studio, I thought the angel would make a beautiful pattern and I added a majestic border to frame her.  You've captured her perfectly with a beautiful colour plan and your hooking is divine.  I couldn't be more pleased.  
 
Dear Christine,
 
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you think I did your beautiful pattern justice. Thank you for telling me the back story of your design. I love it. That gives her even more meaning. My mom will enjoy hearing about her origin too. How lucky your church was to have your talents!

Angel 48" x 30 1/2"

Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV-2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes. On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of Nature Care Health Clinic that cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out to them and they asked series of questions as regards my present conditions and after which , they sent me some herbal medications which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my family doctor who was actually surprised by the sudden transformation . So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Nature Care Health Clinic. They also specialize in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C , CANCER, DIABETES, STROKE and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life.I will leave thier contact below cause i know this information might be of help to someone going through similar issues
however, you can always reach out to them via this email address : [email protected]

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Great Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Great Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Great Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO GREAT ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected] OR [email protected]

Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
