So this was the post I was supposed to write today:
I am signing off.
I’m heading to Minnesota for a few days of crafty/business delight at The Creative Connection Event.
In other words…heaven.
If you’d like the skinny on what I’m learning there, what I’m making there, and how much fun I know I’ll be having there…follow me on Twitter. That’s the fastest and easiest way for me to keep you up to date!
I’ll be back next week to fill everyone in!
Nikki, In Stitches
Unfortunately, this is the post I am writing instead:
I’m writing this post from my couch, in my jammers, when I’m supposed to be in St. Paul, having the crafty time of my life. I’m pretty much that teenager, face down on her bed, thrashing her legs and beating her pillow with her fists, screaming “Why???” “Why me???”
Can you tell I’m a little upset about not getting to go to The Creative Connection Event?
I’m also very grateful.
After a few very painful trips to the emergency room, I’ve been diagnosed with fluid around my lung. And since that diagnosis, I have not stopped saying prayers of thanks that I did not get on that plane. (At one point, the diagnosis was a clot in my lung, which scared the you-know-what out of me!)
So I’m laying low these days…very low. And giving my babies lots and lots of hugs.
Be back soon,
Nikki, In Stitches
So sorry to hear that you are not feeling well…but that were able to get diagnosed!!! Will be praying for you and a speedy recovery….There is always next year!!!
Thanks so much, Amanda!
Yes, looking forward to next year already!
And PS…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your headbands!! XOXO
So sorry to hear this Nikki. I hope you get better quick. Just relax and do what you are told!

I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well and missed the event, but I’m glad the doctors were able to diagnose the problem! I hope you feel better very soon!!
So sorry to hear – but glad you have your priorities straight (lots of hugs for babies)! Isn’t it crazy that sometimes it takes a scare to make us appreciate our every day “boring” life and our loved ones that we often take for granted? I’ll be sure to be more thankful today as well. Feel better soon!
Thank you so much, Everyone! I am actually feeling a bit better today, and am certainly a little more myself, but still very happy I am home, with my family through all of this.
XOXO
Oh so sorry to hear about your health! I hope you get better soon.
So sorry to hear you took ill. Hope you are up and stitching soon!!
Nikki, I’m very sorry that you are going through all of this. I hope you feel better soon! Rest and take care.
I am so sorry Nikki. Glad you found out before you got on the plane though. I hope you are feeling better soon. Take Care!
Oh, no! I’m so sorry for your disappointment, but mostly I’m glad to hear you’re on the mend!
Thanks again, everyone!
Feeling good again today.
Thinking that I’ll have this thing kicked by next week!!
So bummed that you were not there with me… but that a box full of goodies is on it’s way!!
You spoil me rotten, and you are the only reason why I am not still sobbing into my pillow!
Love you!
