When life throws elderberries at you..

...make jam.

Life!

It's all been rather hectic recently with the school holidays and yet another operation!

Not much time for my poor little blog. The children go back to school on weds, here are a few photos from our summer.

First craft fair

On Sunday 27th May we had a stall at the jubilee fair in Granchester,Cambridge.
We had a lovely day meeting people and selling our pretty makes :) can't wait for our next.

First craft fair

If your local to Cambridge, pop by and say hello. I would love to meet you :)

At last

It's about time the sun shined in the sky. It makes you feel so much better.

Poorly and a parcel

Well I went into hospital on Thursday to have my 3 cysts removed. They where unable to as I have severe endometriosis and require major surgery :(

I've been laying on the sofa unable to sit up since Thursday feeling very sorry for myself. I still had surgery on Friday having the lining of my womb removed to try keep the endometriosis at a minimum.

On Friday my swap parcel arrived from the lovely Pen. I have really enjoyed getting to know you :) also thank you to bekkie for organising the swap.

Would you like to see what I got? I love everything, feel very spoilt. The timing of the parcel could not have been better, cheered me up no end :)

Oh my must have list!

Have you guys seen this? My budget does not quite stretch to a Camper van after moving, but this is fab. I love it

St. George's day

All change!

We are moving house tomorrow, I'm having a little sit down before it's all go again!

We are without Internet from today for a month. It's going to be hard not having my daily blog reading fix!

Until next time xx

And breath....

This blog post is going to be a hard one to write, but I also think its long over due.

In June of last year I was struck down with Depression and Anxiety. I was having regular panic attacks and spending most of the day in bed.

I have now turned a corner and I able to drive within my village and do a little shopping in the local supermarket without having a panic attack.

I want to let you know that although I have not been posting I have been reading your blogs everyday, and even on my darkest days they have made me smile.

Ive still got a long road, but I am on the up with the help of medication and CBT.

Well that's enough of that onto the exciting bit....

While I was unwell a friend and I came up with the idea to start sewing.  Well this evolved very quickly into a business idea.  We set up a FB page and a Folksy shop.  We find the sewing, drinking tea and eating cake very therapeutic.

We have had lots of orders and things are going really well. We have even been contacted by a few shops about providing stock :)

Why not take a look, maybe like our FB page and let me know what you think xx
