Down but not out

Hello there on this Wintry evening,

After much grief and loss over the past couple of months, I am finding my way back – oh it knocks you around doesn’t it? I’m taking some long service leave after a tough year and a half in my professional life and every Wednesday I’m having a just me day to heal by doing some therapeutic art and whatever else takes my fancy! It is so delightful. I’m loving spending more time with my little fellow and having the emotional space to just be with him. He is such fun.

I’m feeling my sense of purpose clawing its way back having struggled under the weight of heavy burdens and when I sewed sewd sewed on Wednesday it warmed me up – I felt alive again. I sewed some pyjama pants for a nearly due friend, the beginnings of decorating  a blanket for my son and designing a softie to work as a transitional object (or lovey) for my nocturnal Jasper. He is such a little possum.

P.S. On long walks round our neighbourhood streets to try and get Jasp, to sleep i’ve become fascinated by letter boxes – I might just have to share some of them with you.

Cheers

Amanda
