Well looked after but doesn't know us any more so can relate to your Mum. Sorry to hear of you loss just before Christmas though. Your homespun pouches are a lovely gift and I agree that sewing can be very theraputic. I hope 2016 is a happier year or you. Hugs Mrs A.

Since she has some troubles with speaking and the blood vessels in her left leg appear to be very bad. She has lots of pain and I fear that her leg has to be amputated for a part. But we still have her and we try to enjoy the time with each other as long as it is possible.<br />Your pouches look awesome and I quite understand that it has been a kind of therapy for you!<br />xxx MargreetMargreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814699655552495434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390708187136529914.post-34410760072443368312016-01-03T06:04:37.847-08:002016-01-03T06:04:37.847-08:00Hugs to you Carmen.

I can relate to your having to learn to navigate this world without her. My heart goes out to you. I love these pouches you have created...so whimsical. Art and crafting can be so therapeutic and uplifting.
