15 August 2012

the question was asked...

It was a relatively ordinary day.... but a question was asked which needed an answer. Finally, a truthful answer was given & my precious wee family was torn apart.
As the children & I pick up the shattered remains of our dreams & hopes & try to figure out how to  navigate our way through these troubled waters, please forgive me if I don't quite manage to blog as much as I should, or if I am behind on swaps, or if I don't appear on the usual sewing groups....Its not because I have forgotten any of you...its just because, well, just because at the moment, my three children need me more... I've no idea what lies ahead, but I do know we will be OK...
Thank you
Karen
