quiet

it's going a little bit quiet over the next weeks - my grandmother died last week and we've got the funeral on wednesday. it wasn't unexpected but it's obviously a funny old time and i'm feeling a bit weird. i'm fine and then all of a sudden i find it hard to think i shall never sit and have a cuppa with my nan again while she knits/crochets/sews in her chair with her cat on her lap. she could be an awkward old bag sometimes, but she was also very kind hearted. someone wrote a quote by thomas campbell on a sympathy card to my mum "to live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die" which is a nice sentiment.
anyway...things will be quiet around here for the time being - we've got some trips planned for the kids, and lots of play dates with friends, so i'll see you all soon. i'll still be tweeting though so perhaps i'll see you there. xxx

update...of course, having said all that, i've just sat down and made a cushion that might (fingers crossed) make an interesting impact on a new product i might introduce to the shop (testing out fabrics) and of course i'll show you the results of my new screen!)
