Honeycombs!

so, for those who are unaware, which mostly would be me, i guess--marti/leah convinced a bunch of people to make me honeycombs for my birthday. she/they did this because when i realized how much time i would likely be spending in doctor's offices over the next year or so, i decided that i was going to make a beekeeper's quilt. (picture below)

i got excited and have made about 8 so far, planning on making them over the course of the next year or so, while waiting in dr's offices and such. after all i have spent a good deal of time already, and felt the need to do something with my hands, etc. 

so today at knit night, a bunch of people showed up with little packages of honeycombs, and apparently more are being sent from elsewhere. i'm not sure people know how much this means to me. i had originally intended it to be a display to put at the shop in the cradle, but now, now i think i need this to be on my bed or rocker at home, where i can wrap up in it regularly, knowing that people who love me, some that i've never met (marti's mom is apparently making a few even) took the time and effort to make these for me....  i've been feeling terribly alone in this cancer thing lately. thanks all, for letting me know that i am not alone, and that indeed, i can be wrapped up in love of people from all around.... it gives me hope and joy to know that people have gone out of their way to do this. love you all....
