Gifted Gorgeousness is hosted each month by the lovely Jo at Serendipitous Stitching. GG, on the 15th of each month, is when we share our latest gifts. These can be gifts given or received, or any item made using fabric, threads, buttons, ribbon, chart, backing fabric that has been gifted.
I received these beautiful Santas from my friend Gill, a member of Needlecraft Haven. I love them, I'll finish them the same as the others so they will be in next month's Fully Finished Objects.
I posted this on my Fully Finished Objects post, thank you to those who read my blog and sent such lovely comments, it really means a lot, thank you.
As you know my Mum has been unwell for the last couple of years, for the last three months she has been in bed being nursed at home. Sadly she passed away last Saturday, she was amazed to have reached her 85th birthday on the last day of May.
We are currently in France for a four week holiday, part of which our two grown up children and their other halves will join us. With Mum passing on Saturday we could say goodbye before leaving for France on Sunday. I was quite worried it may have been while we were away, I had the same worry when we went on our cruise in April. My stepdad will still live at their bungalow so there is no house to clear and he will do all the legal requirements so there is no point in us cancelling the holiday, I think to be honest we all need the break. There will be many things to do once we're home but nothing urgent just now.
Sad times but Mum is now at peace.
Aww Clare, I'm so sorry to hear the news of your Mum. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Time away may be just what you need right now. Have a peaceful trip. The Santas are adorable and will look so cute on your tree! Sending warm hugs.
ReplyDeleteClare, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss though I am glad she is no longer sick and suffering. I just love all those Santas!
