This super blogging idea, which happens on the 15th of each month, is hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching - thank you Jo 😘
Since my chemotherapy restarted at the end of July I have not been stitching much, reading any books or visiting blogland. I really enjoyed Jo's Summer Blog Hop but I just can't concentrate to do much at all.
My GG is small but special. This flower is for my bouquet and was sent by my lovely friend Cathy who lives in Ohio. We've been friends for over 20 years regularly exchanging emails but it wasn't until lockdown that we actually spoke in person using video calls.
Cathy has sent a get well, keep smiling or thinking of you every few weeks since my diagnosis last December and in her latest card was this lovely thistle - thank you do much Cathy.
I will try to visit everyone's Gifted Gorgeousness posts but please accept my apologises if I'm a little late or don't make it at all.

It's a lovely thistle flower. It's good that you and Cathy have been able to keep your long distance friendship going.

Thank you for posting when you are not feeling well or up to much. I do hope the treatments help and you feel more yourself soon.
I am sorry you are suffering Clare. I am praying for you. This thistle is really lovely.
A lovely thistle from Cathy
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. The thistle is so sweet and will make a great addition to the tree.
Beautiful gift. Please take care of yourself.
Cathy's lovely flower will make a great ornament for your flower tree, Clare. This is the time for you to put yourself and your needs first.
Hi Clare! I'm happy to see your post, though I know how difficult it is to write and concentrate while on chemotherapy. I have sent youe flower a few days ago though I don't know how long it will take to get there. I had hoped to send a second one, but there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day here. The thistle is lovely, and I've beeen watching your bouquet grow...your tree is going to be beautiful! Take care!
Such a lovely thistle! Take care of yourself and take your time - looking after yourself is the main priority x
What a lovely gift...it is so pretty. Hope all is going well with you my friend. I'm glad to be back commenting. I missed you. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
You received such a pretty flower, Clare, and another is on its way as I have just stitched mine and will post it this week. Thinking of you and hoping your treatment is not too exhausting. Take good care now! ♥
Lovely thistle from Cathy, what fun that you've been able to get together via video.
I hope this chemo hasn't been too hard on you, do what can, we'll be here!
