Hey people! It has been a while. And the short explanation is that the plugin for sharing on social media stopped working so then I would have to post everything 2 times, first here and then there. So I decided to go with Facebook for a while, maybe you have followed me there!

The LONG explanation is that I have moved, broken 2 toes, renovated the house we moved to, and just didnt have the patience to sit down and look for another plugin to do what I needed it to do. But now it is fixed!! Whoooop! Well to half at least. Still need to get it to Instagram, unless that works as well. We will soon find out.

So, today, I have finally started with cutting up the smaller pieces I have laying around. To make makeup pads and stuff from the leftover fabric after making something bigger. I like to use the whole meter, we need to stop wasting so much stuff that we can actually use.

Loss, grief, anger

It is OK to feel all those things. Or so I am told. We had to put our beloved cat to sleep last Thursday and it hurts… lots. Yesterday I was alone for the first time since it happened and it was hard. No one to be strong for, just let all those emotions overwhelm you.

I did what I do best when something is up. (Life hasn’t really thrown roses at me lately) I create. It gives my mind peace and I can process things in my own way. Music and creations is the way for me to get through whatever lemons life is throwing at me.

A patchwork plaid almost done. I just need to figure out what to have on the back and if I want filling in it.

I also made a shirt for myself in this fabric, better pic will come when it is dry. (washed it last night)

Started the work

Finally sorted one of the sizes I have of squares. So ofc I had to try to see if I could get something nice going. 10 minutes later, this had began to grow slowly.

There will probably be one blankie that will not have 2 of any of them, with no sense whatsoever haha.
