I am sorry about your back and hope this will not happen again.

The design itself originates from Japan hence the name. There are some really quirky sewing patterns from Japan, you don't have to be able to read Japanese to follow them but you do have to be competent in sewing to use the drawings as your main guide.<br /><br />Hope this makes sense! I am awake as a result of another back injury. I leant forward to pin some material and felt a crack in my back and was unable to straighten for five minutes! Not great and we are looking after MG whilst Kath is at work but I know the kids will do a great job at keeping her entertained ;-)Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795810047529544963.post-3377420202271312462014-08-22T04:52:24.760+01:002014-08-22T04:52:24.760+01:00We met Guillermo when we were trying to run a Home...We met Guillermo when we were trying to run a Home of The Mother camp for girls in the summer of 2007. He was lecturing at Liverpool university and had his family staying with him for that year.<br /><br />Guillermo knew of Emma's order and was looking for activities for the kids as a means of keeping them occupied and also improving their English.<br /><br />Sadly the camp did not work out but thanks to the kindness of our priest friend, the family were able to stay in an empty priest residence in Kirby Lonsdale, Cumbria and so when they can they visit make a trip to England.<br /><br />Their son who is Benedict's age was not with them for this trip as he has been attending school in Oklahoma for the past month and on the return journey home, Carmen the next youngest at fourteen will be staying in Ireland for three months to lodge with a Catholic family and attend school.<br /><br />Guillermo has travelled extensively as part of his work as a university lecturer and he values the opportunities for his family to improve their English speaking skills. They are one very special family and we are blessed to know them.Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795810047529544963.post-38854177111368385562014-08-22T04:18:46.430+01:002014-08-22T04:18:46.430+01:00Oh, and the boot story is funny.

Glad to hear that the kids had a wonderful time and you got some things done. Why is the bag called Japanese knot bag?
