wow...it's hard to get back into the swing of everyday life after such an emotional few weeks...
everywhere you turn it's another sad story of loss and grief...one of the young girls I work with has had to say goodbye to two of her loved ones who unfortunately didn't survive the fires...
I have also just found out that my sisters lovely friend has lost her beautiful home in the Kinglake bushfires...This particular girl is not unlike myself, a bit of a homebody with young children, she loves her craft...sewing, cross stitch, teddy bear making...she had beautiful tapestries that she worked on for hours on end, her home was so cosy and inviting...
she has lost it all...and my heart breaks for her...don't get me wrong there are a lot who have far worse stories to tell, but it really hits home when it's someone you know....
so in an effort to turn it all around I am going to put together a few things for her and her little boys...not the practical things we all use every day but those little things she won't be able to replace for some time to come, needles and thread, fabric and books, I think I'll even try to whip up a quilt and some home sewn goodies...
what would you miss the most if it was all taken from you in an instant???
:: if anyone has any crafty goodies laying about that they would like to donate to this lovey lady please send me an email
I have been busy whipping up this quilt for a lovely lady but to be honest I'm in a bit of a crafty rut...I have just taken a Management position at work and I think I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about how I'm going to squeeze everything in to my week...
