I realise it’s quite a while since my last post and if you don’t follow me on Facebook, you may not realised why I have been missing in action.
Unfortunately, my dear father passed away just before Christmas – this was just four and a half months after my Mum passed away this Summer. The last few weeks have been especially hard. We had been preparing ourselves for Christmas without my Mum but nothing could have prepared us for the shock of having to cope with Christmas with neither of them.
It has hit the whole family quite hard, but now with school starting again, life must go on. I’m sure many of you reading this will be able to relate to losing a parent or a loved one and I do know that in time things will get easier. But right now, it’s very hard. I thought coming back to my own house would be easier as I am surrounded by things and people that my parents did not know or interact with. But actually, I’m finding it harder than I thought.
Crafting is a great therapy. Admittedly, it took some time before I could face my supplies, but I’m glad I turned to them when I did. I hope to share some of my new creations soon with you but just wanted to explain my absence in the meantime.
Please do keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Until next time,
happy crafting
