Well folks, I completely missed our special day last Wednesday.
I had a call from an elderly friend in dire straits on Tuesday evening and I ended up packing a bag and spending four days supporting them
Consequently, my own life and activities were put on hold. I apologize for not getting round to your desks and especially for not being able to thank you for the lovely ATCs which I received in the great swap. I have barely had chance to look at them. So, once I am able to have a bit of chill out time I will enjoy sitting down and studying your little works of art. Thanks lots to you all.
In order to empty my head of all the problems and dilemmas I have been dealing with, I took myself into my sewing room for short sessions when I got home.
Here are a few of the syringe driver bags that I made for our local hospital. We all have our ways of keeping sane! Sewing is my best way to escape 😀
So that's me for this week.
Let's hope next week is a little less chaotic.

ReplyDeleteI do hope you were of help to your friend Jo and that you have some time to relax a bit more and enjoy your ATCs this week. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteWe did miss you but understood why you were needed elsewhere, your friends needed you so much more and we all get that. Hope things have calmed down for them a bit now, well done you for rushing to help. Those bags are lovely, the Laura Ashley fabric makes sewing a pleasure.

I hope things are OK with your friend now and that you have a calmer week than last week - what a very good friend you are. There's nothing better for de-stressing I find than a few hours in the craft room - your bags are wonderful - I love the fabrics, they are so bright and cheerful and will be very much appreciated I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week,

Hi Jo, unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way of other things we want to do. The bags look lovely and if that made you feel more relaxed then it's got to be good. I know how you feel as we've been having some difficult moments with mum recently. Take care and happy crafty woyww, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteFamily and real life friends take precedence over everything else. Your bags are beautiful and colorful. Happy WOYWW from #4.
ReplyDeleteYou are a marvellous friend rushing round to help. A lady showed me a needle felting kit she bought from Home Bargains fo £1. A little beehive. I am wondering what else they have. Happy WOYWW Angela #19
