So, in the new year I am moving the house Sharon and I shared for 24 years, to start a new life with Cheryl, we are going to rent for a while as the distance is horrible between us, and this leaves the issue of Sharon's craft supplies and how to rehome them.As you know, Sharon was the enabler and as a result has collected a lot (understatement) of crafting stash & stuff, probably 99% of which I ..read more

 So, as the title of this post implies, today's post centres around a readiness to let go.It is odd how the universe works, in the blink of an eye your whole world is pulled out from underneath you, resulting in an immense imbalance, where there was once stability is now replaced by a chasm of despair that you find yourself happily drowning in.Don't worry, this is not going to be one of those ..read more

This actually started as a reply to a few comments on my last blog post and got too long ha ha I have found that I am fairly good at looking at situations objectively, and I find writing quite therapeutic, a way of making sense of what, how and why I am feeling. As some of you may remember, I have done this before on my own blog, which, I have neglected somewhat, as I have not gone back since ..read more

So it's been a little while since I posted on the blog, I am really conflicted when I do as I feel I am diluting down Sharon's amazing crafting posts, and in return making her informative content harder to find as a result.Especially as I am not sharing crafting content, my posts are more of a journal entry if that makes sense? (yes, I know I am overthinking it) Anyway, with that said;I owe it to ..read more

Only a mini update (yeah right, grab a packed lunch and an extra cushion), well it's been a month since I posted, Wait! Why does this sound like a confessional?Anyway it just would not feel right not posting, as on Saturday 19th March we have just had the first anniversary of our beloved Sharon's funeral, the day (like it or not) we laid to rest my soulmate Shaz silverwolf, enabler extraordinaire ..read more

First off I want to thank you all for the cards, your messages of both support and encouragement and I would like to apologise for the lack of replies, thank yous and replies, I could say I have been busy, but that would simply not be the whole truth although to a degree I have been.In all honesty for the most part, that has not really been the truth, since Christmas, I felt lost and numb, going ..read more

Ok while I can still focus, I have wrote 2 blog posts, this one for today, and another for later in the week.As you know I passed my motorcycle test at the back end of last year, I spent a few months researching  motorcycles, creating a list of must haves and nice to haves and driving miles to find some to look at and or sit on....Then I would change my mind when I get there rinse and repeat ha ..read more

 A lot has changed over the last 12 months, I think it is fair to say that this year has not been our/my best “when two become one” it was never going to be really now was it! My life this is hard to do, how the fk do you guys do this every year? anyway, this may prove to be beneficial to me.   So then, things that I am grateful of, things I am proud off and things to look forward to in the ..read more

In a variation the wise words of our Julia..         Its kinda all about me! And that is exactly what I have needed, so, since I last touched base with you all, a few things have happened, I kind off broke again for a bit, some touching things, and a personal goal realised. I have layers and walls like most, and sometimes, unintentionally, they come down.Work has been a great distraction, but ..read more
