It's been a difficult few days with way too many goodbyes. With lots of tears we said a final farewell to a brave little boy on Friday. On Saturday we waved our daughter off at Gatwick airport for her fourth term at uni in Kentucky. It leaves you feeling blue and the house feels a bit empty but tomorrow is a new day and there is comfort to be had in friends, family and the routines of life. On Friday after the funeral I came home and sorted out some of my craft stuff - it seemed to be something I could do that didn't involve too much effort but the routine of it was comforting. Today I have quilted and used my sewing machine and done some knitting - the routine of the stitching again doesn't take much thought but it has a comforting feel. It's times like these I really appreciate my crafts.
