Clothkits!

Long time no posting I know but I was wondering if any of you knew that clothkits was up and running again. This may interest Mum, and Aunty Beth and Aunty Jill perhaps...

79 Godstow Road.

The framework, the shell still intact, but hollow, the life blood gone,
Summer’s warmth dissipated in the Autumn mists –
My family home now diminished by the absence of those
Whose presence warmed and enveloped all who came.

No voice of welcome echoes through the rooms.
The teapot stands empty.
No one cooks with love.

And yet our memories will forever warm and bind us as a family,
Glued by the love received through all the years.

I wander from room to room.
Here I slept, read, played,
Secure in family bonds too strong to break.
Here I dressed for my wedding, nursed my new born babies and finally
Cared for those who for so long cared for me.

I gaze from the window and look onto the old shed and yard
Where childhood games played out our sense of fun.
We fought the injuns, hid from foes and built our beanpole dens.
Strains of skiffle, rock and pop still echo in our minds
And the ghost of a blue curtained van forever haunts the yard.

We have lost the family home but
Cannot lose the love we shared within its walls.
Here others will live out their dreams
Whilst we move on.

God bless us in our journeying.

What I have been doing today.....

It made such a cute picture I thougth I would share it with you....lots of brooches nearly ready to go off to thier new home in London!

Earthquake!

Did anyone feel the earthquake last week? I did and let me tell you it frightened the life out of me! There was a loud rumble and then the room shook!

Not good!
