Just a note...

To say thank you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful good wishes. You guys are the best.

This is for you...


This toile heart is in fact a quilt block. I just made it for a heart-themed charity quilt in progress on our French charity group. I made it thinking of you all, friends, and how you bring joy into my life, every day.

I do promise to come back very soon! Just so you understand why I've been so silent, I have just a big chunk of work.

Love to you all!

Congratulations on getting a third of the way through. Almost at the half way point!

I remember my thesis..........vaguely, lol. I listened to the Interview with the vampire cd on constant repeat, over and over and over and over......now everytime I hear it, it takes me back to that time.

(I got rave reviews for it BTW, lol. Modest? Moi? Never! lol)

Ma chère Isabelle, que je suis contente de ton message. Que se passe-t-il? Ton blog en français ne répond plus. Alors je n'avais pas pensé à me tourner vers la version anglaise, et de la sorte je n'avais pas appris ton mariage civil. Toutes mes félicitations et mes voeux. Mon mari et moi étions aussi passés à la mairie 14 jours avant l'église! Je te souhaite des semaines de préparations pleine de douceur et de bonheur. Très gros bisous. Et merci pour l'effort d'être venue sur mon blog malgré les obstacles.

Lisbeï said...

Hello my dear friend !
I don't understand, I can't go to your french blog ...
Tonight I'll see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I hope I won't be too disapointed ... and I'm like you, I can't wait to read the last ...
Big kiss for you and the ladycat ...

Thank you for the wedding wishes, Isabelle and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! I hope you have many, many happy years together.

May I ask a question? I understand that you must have a civil ceremony before a church ceremony in France, but which date do you consider your anniversary?

Michelle said...

Congrats on making so much progress on your thesis! The toile heart is beautiful. Big hugs!

Dine2Paris said...

I used to go to your french site, but that's not a problem : I'll do it in english either, just to see your lovely work progressing !
Like Claire, I'm astonished about how busy and yet how good you are in what you do! I wish I 'd be like you ;-)
Et comme on disait chez les Cajuns : "Lache pas la patate !"

cabocharde said...

Coucou Isabelle
je te remercie pour le message laissé sur mon blog!!!
Mais je vois que ton blog en français a disparu!!!quel dommage j'aimais tant voir tes oeuvres en couture!!!
Tu me diras ,j'ai toujours ton blog en anglais mais!!!!J'ai des gros soucis pour comprendre
Alors Bonne route pour la suite et à plus!!!

mymy-le-chat said...

Il me semblait bien que le mariage religieux était en août. Je te retrouve par ce biais car il semble que tu aies eu quelques soucis (commentaires sûrement !) avec ton blog français. Je ne sais pas si tu en as ouvert un autre sous une autre appellation. En attendant, je peux toujours tester à nouveau mon anglais en parcourant tout ce blog ci.

Have a nice week-end. I'll be in holidays at the end of the day.

You can contact me by e-mail. I know I can contact you by postmail. I have your address (remember when you send me the little cat).

Bye

Mymy (the cat !)

Isabelle, you just work hard on your PhD and make us all proud of your great accomplishments! We all have rhythms in our lives that we need to listen and adjust to. I know you'll pop us a note when you can! Hugs and best wishes!
