Jaxon was diagnosed with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) 5 days after his second birthday (Feb 2011). His mother told me that Jaxon is the seventh (7th) child in Canada to be diagnosed with this rare disease. I am his great-aunt Louise and I come up with the idea of this blog to keep people informed, and to use my passion for stitching to raise money for the FOP organizations.

Happy Canada Day
Hi everyone, Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians. Yes, I am proud to be Canadian and feel very fortunate for being able to say that. Soon my American friends will be celebrating with their 4th of July festivities. Do you have a national day that celebrates your country, if so, when is it? Please leave me a comment and tell us about it. Thank you ever so much for taking the time to do so. I do realize that I have not written much in the past couple of months but I honestly haven't done a lot but that changed yesterday. My friend Barb took a vacation day so that she could have a nice long weekend and came to my house yesterday for some stitching. Both of us were very productive. She finished the backstitching on 3 penguin ornaments and then promptly gave them to me so that I could make them into ornaments for the Christmas craft fair. What a sweetie. She is now working on her Mill Hill beaded kit Believe, she just has some of the background and a few beads probably another good 2 days work. As for me, I finally finished that silly penguin ornament that I was working on (I felt like it would never get done!), so that was good. And then, oh dear, decisions to make, what to work on next....ha ha, I can't find a thing to stitch.....hmmmm, I have a living room full of projects but being a conscientious person, I picked up my Opposites Attract (design by Tracy Horner) and continued to work on it. So it is coming along quite nicely. So since I am now wide awake (I can't believe it is 7 a.m.), I think I will go downstairs, make a cup of tea, have some breakfast and do some stitching! Take care, have yourselves a wonderful day, I hope that it is a good day, filled with lots of love and hugs. Louise
