Terrible summer and an asthma

Hi, there!

 I came back on my blog, but oh wow, today is September 8th! I'm very very sorry I couldn't visit any blogs, websites or Flickr pages for a couple of weeks.
I had an asthma attack around 20th August, and it was slightly then. But it hasn't been improved, and I came to have any other symptoms (caught cold by air conditioners. - I was so stupid. All the rooms in my house were well air‐conditioned, 'cause it was intense heat of summer outside and I had feverish. But the rooms were TOO COLD! I had CHILLS!) besides an asthma.
I've been a patient for about one and a half years. I thought it caused by the mental shock of my mother's death and my living environment was changed significantly. But I have sometimes slight symptoms even now. I have this kinds of DNA? Oh No!
I'm in recovery, I have a cough though.
I make it a rule to think positively, 'it improves than the last year'. I had fatigue fractures 4 times by the persistent coughs in 2008. And actually I had many stresses in this summer - natural disasters of flood and earthquakes, and diseases of my father's and mine. To tell you the truth, I've been so scary of fractures this times...

Today I had no photo related on paper crafts. So I introduce my bobbin lace.

 I made this for the first time in about a year. This was a tule lace (point ground lace) sampler for practicing which I made in middle of last month.
The bobbin folder is stamped the Hero Arts 'Heart Flower Blossomes' stamp. Haha.
I made 2 more folders last year. I love its antique look. <3

Thank you for peeking! :)

  2. Oh you poor thing. I wondered if your Dad had been ill again, but it was you. I know how bad coughing can be as I had a bad cough last year as a result of clots in the lungs. I pray you are getting better quickly. Maybe the weather cooling down will help.

  9. Hi Tomo. I'm sorry to hear you've had such a bad summer. My little nephew has asthma and I know how up and down it can be. Your bobbin lace is gorgeous. It looks amazing but I imagine it's so hard to do. Take good care of yourself. Best wishes.
