Oh, hi there!
Have you wondered where I’ve been? I seem to have dropped off the face of the earth. This blog is usually a place for me to write about happy, pretty, wonderful things, and unfortunately, I haven’t been feeling very wonderful lately.
To briefly explain, my four year relationship has recently ended, and I’ve been in a state of fear, sadness, and limbo. I’m very greatful for the support of friends - both people I know in real-life, and those on-line who have surprised me with their kind words. Thank you to everyone, it means more to me than you could possibly know.
My creativity took a bit of a dive for the past three weeks, but last night I started a ‘Feelings Blanket’ using colours that represent how I’m feeling. It’s an intuitive blanket and I’m using a large granny-square pattern as inspiration. I will be documenting this progress. I also plan to finish some of my WIPs, including an order for a local shop. Redecorate my bathroom. Celebrate my birthday (it was on March 30th, but being a week into the breakup, I did not feel like being happy yet). Purge a lot of my belongings. Do some of the things on my 101 list. Move to Ireland for a few months. Let life happen as it happens.
This is a time of change for me, and another sign that I need to let go of control. Life is aligning itself to force me to do things on my own, so I’m going to follow my intuition and let it lead me where I should go.
I’m going to let myself ‘feel it all.’

I’ve been wondering where you were. I’m so sorry you have to go through such pain. Through the pain you will come out a better person, this I can guarantee. I can’t wait to hear about your Ireland adventures! How exciting!

Glad to see you back. Craft is cathartic, use it and you will feel better.
Still loving your red/turquoise combo, they work really well together.
