I’m sorry I haven’t updated for so long. Real life hit and boy did it hit hard.

My Nan taught me to cross stitch; it seems like years ago now. She sadly passed away last week after a long and tiring battle with cancer which she finally beat, only to lose an even harder battle with Parkinson’s. She fought until the end, she was amazing.

 

There hasn’t been a lot of stitching happening as I haven’t felt like it to be completely honest.

The weekend just gone we went on our first family holiday. Camping. Yeah not the best of things for someone with my health problems and damn don’t I know it!

We went to Barleylands in Essex. It was quite nice. I loved the craft village they had and spent hours wondering around little shops and stalls but was well behaved and only brought 1 skein of DMC thread as I had run out. Here’s the website it’s well worth the cold nights, spiders, and our tiny tent.
