April makes ….

Less productive this month but still made some drawstring bags, wristlet keyrings, an upcycled denim bag.

The bridesmaids floral hair accessories were technically made in March but the wedding they were created for was just this past Saturday 🌸🌼🌺🪻🌷

So many of you have been asking how my 90 year old

So many of you have been asking how my 90 year old Dad is doing since my Mum died last month.

Obviously there are low days, but with his positive attitude, strong faith and remarkable resilience he is getting on with life, keeping himself busy.

He no longer has a garden to look after (now lives in an apartment) but his plant knowledge is remarkable and a visit to a garden centre is a lovely way to spend a morning with him.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support - much appreciated x

Mum would have been 92 today.

Today has been more difficult than Mother’s Day was last week but seeking comfort in our belief that she is in a much better place and one day we will meet again.

“ Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. “ John 16:22

Spring is my happy time.

March makes

Obviously been doing a bit of grief sewing / stress sewing this month - I was glad of the distraction some nights. Mum was a very creative / artistic - I think I get my need to be busy making from her (my brother got the artistic gene @jmcewenart) but here are some of my makes this month

Lots of bags, a special memory cushion, I mastered zips, more bags, a Spring wreath, macrame..... not included in the photos there was more crochet and some embroidery too.

This month some of my bags were purchased in Lisburn, Coleraine and the United States!

I appreciate all your support - (not just purchasing but also commenting / liking / sharing / encouraging) it means so much .... especially in this difficult month x

Mother’s Day

Mixed emotions obviously today, missing Mum but feeling very loved, supported and prayed for.

Also so thankful for Sarah, Jane and Sam and son-in-law Nathan, and Clifford who has been my rock x
