Thank you so much for the kind words...Hi Dorothy!<br /><br />Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it very much.<br /><br />Yes, I was born in Kapuskasing Ontario and then moved here to BC when I was 4 yrs old and have remained here ever since.<br /> It was amazing to visit my roots in Finland and see all the family history there. My aunt is the last remaining closest relation I have so I am blessed to have been able to spend time with her. <br />I do have bunches of cousins ranging from very old to very young there. Most of the young ones speak English now since Finland teaches all students English as a 2nd language starting in primary. I was amazed by that! And many of the radio stations play English music, lol It was nice to hear as I traveled about.<br /><br />Crewel embroidery is beautiful. Hats off to you for doing that. I want to try it sometime in the future. I seen some instructional videos on youtube so maybe that will be my next venture in crafting. I want to make my daughter some keepsakes for when she's older.<br /><br />I'm so happy to hear that you still enjoy knit, crochet and embroidery. I think having at least one thing we can look forward to doing and making with our own hands is so important for our health and happiness and you still do a variety of things so this is very good. Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Thank you for the lovely message, I enjoyed it very much.<br />Talk soon!<br /><br />Sharon xoSharon Ojalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603885607984732319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-52099462390629525642014-09-20T20:38:00.202-07:002014-09-20T20:38:00.202-07:00Thank you. For sharing your beautiful Auntie with ...Thank you. For sharing your beautiful Auntie with all of your students or fans. What a beautiful woman, I mean that. I can see how the gene has been passed onto you. She doesn't even look 60 and from the sound of it she is mentally a young woman. I didn't realize you lived in Canada too. I live in Ontario in a lovely community near Midland ON. I am 80 but not as fortunate as your Auntie. I can still use my hands to knit and crochet. I can also do crewel embroidery, plus ordinary embroidery. I am very content but I do miss being able to use my sewing room which my husband had built for me. I miss doing my fabric art and sewing for the family but I feel lucky to have my wonderful son as my caregiver. My other son lives in Barrie but comes up on week ends to visit and help around the house. At the moment I just crochet Amigurumi, I can hardly wait to get going on it everyday. Thank you so much for everything you do. You are an angel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415484672852337603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862871843637142454.post-64475932151478103132014-09-20T14:26:12.539-07:002014-09-20T14:26:12.539-07:00it was an honor..

Surely all that positivity helps keep her young and healthy. Still, glad you got to spend some special time with her. What an honor.
