That’s the way, Tannia – a bit of stitching here and there to get back into it again. ‘Hedwig’ will cheer you up no end when he is finished – cute!!

Just discovered your blog. Gorgeous book! I have had it for a while. There is another one as well called “Pink & Grey”. In my opinion you have the best of the two. Enjoy.

I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, behind in blog reading again. It was good that you were able to go to his funeral. Take care Tannia, and be kind to yourself. (((HUGS))).

Your owl is looking great.

So sorry for your loss. It seems mad to grieve it under the circs, but I understand totally and will feel just the same when mine goes. I think of it as the kid who has no money waiting by the ice cream van whilst all the other kids get theirs. He’s not going to get anything, as he has no money, but it’s made even more final – the last hope is gone, when the van drives off.

The need for family is fundamental and STRONG! The denial of it is devastating – I know!

Let the grief flow though, no matter how ‘mad’ it seems and let it out of your system. I find writing things down very helpful indeed – can help you to cry it all out. Things kinda feel better once they’re said – whether by the mouth, or on paper.

Hope your healing is swift.=)

Hugs, E=)

PS Good to see you posting and stitching again!

Sometimes Tannia it just takes one thing to spark your interest again… For me it was the BOM from Gail Pan – the stitching was easy and comforting in some way … I have enjoyed the no pressure stitching which they offered… Again take care of yourself and I am glad to hear you have had a ’sunny’ moment…

Congratulations on getting some stitching done. It is very therapeutic to create. Love the fabric you have chosen, is a beautiful colour.

Tannia I am so sorry for your loss and all the feelings it has dredged up for you. I think you have done a wonderful job of expressing our feelings here. I hope it helped you to settle some questions in your mind and that you will find some peace with uour decisions.

I have been a bit lax in my blog reading and have just read your recent entries about your father. I want to give you my deepest sympathies. Your entries touched a chord with me because my father left my 3 siblings and I 22 years ago and we have struggled for years as to why we were not enough for him to love and cherish and to remain in our lives. He has not remarried or had more children as far as I know so I can not relate to that part of your feelings, but I am all too familiar with the rest. Lots of love to you sweetie!
