Hello:

An update. Sue's condition has taken a down turn. She has develouped yet another infection and they are currently trying to get that under control. In the mean time she is still somewhat confused as to where she is and is generally not doing as well as she should. Her leg still has several deep, open wounds with sinus tracts extending well into the leg muscles. This is not where she is suppose to be two months after surgery.  We are bringing her in dinners that she can actually eat to help curb her weight loss. Needless to say I am worried sick. Thankfully our son Nicholas is here as he is a great help but still things are very stressful.

I am spending as much time with her as I can so production in the studio has slowed but I am still working, just a good bit slower than usual.

Hurricane Idalia is on her way here and should hit landfall at around 0200hrs tomorrow morning., The eye is expected to hit north of us about 90 miles or so...We will be OK.

Currently we are working on finishing several orders as well as pieces for our in stock pages..mostly Crucible Damask. I will be posting here when they are up.

In closing..I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has written in expressing well wishes and prayers. THANK YOU they are greatly appreciated.

More to come...
