there and back again

it's been very quiet on this blog for a while, but it's true to say that our lives have been anything but. although we have been busy trying out new crafty stuff, learning a new career, dealing with kids and actually making things, the will to share all of it with others hasn't been there.

our beautiful Mum passed away on the 12th of March, loving and calm to the end, and there's a huge hole in our lives that can't be filled. even though we know she's no longer in pain and in a much better place, we miss her enthusiasm for life, how she cheered us on in everything we did no matter how insignificant.

a happy young Mum

she taught us all how to knit, sew and crochet and was a keen gardener, but what was most important to her was to be a Mum, a homemaker and a wife. this blog would never have happened if it wasn't for her encouragement, so it seems right to continue on, and we have some big plans. expect to see some changes and, all going well, a little Etsy shop to get a small piece of excellence!
