Past, Present, and ...

Something inbetween

As I have mentioned 2012 was a horrible year for me and from chatting with many of my friends the feeling is mutual with them. The year started out fairly normal…except my step daughter was taken to hospital again due to neglecting her diabetes. She is a teenager and I know she hates having this but the sooner she comes to term with it instead of fighting it the better off she will be. I know teenagers are rebellious but she needs to find something else to rebel with instead of her life. Not even the dust from this upset had settled when I received the news that no child wants to her. My mother had passed away. I was devastated, being in the UK and she in the States I had not seen her eight years, it was horribly gut wrenching.

Of course there was the self-blame I pushed upon my shoulders, the “why didn’t I do…”, was she happy with me? I won’t say I am at peace or have accepted it. Even in the UK I expect to see her poke her head around the door or call my name. Something tells me she is with me and the selfish side I would love to see her again and hug her just to tell her I love her. After her funeral I returned back to the UK and have continued on. Not really showing the desire to immerse myself into great task but doing the few odd crafty things here and there.

Well...what has been going on recently, you ask.
On Facebook I have been keeping a watching on the lovely and interesting Hey Doll Vintage Mag. First issue à  http://glossi.com/vavoomvintage/4618-issue-two-march-spring-cleaning . The gym has become a major time consumer with hard work and decent eating habits I have managed to get three inches off my waist and legs and two from my arms. It’s not easy but worth it so this will be on going.

My husband and I have recently returned from Tunisia, it was lovely to get a bit of sunshine as England was lacking in that. Judging by this weekend and the week to follow we have brought it back with us, so let’s make the most of it shall we? Ever since I have been back I am constantly thinking of what to do or make and I have been just enjoying my evenings watching movies and making some lovely hair combs. These will be available on my Etsy shop DivinesVintage for £4.00, it is a working progress just like the blog so bear with me while I iron out the wrinkles.

As well as my arts and crafts I have tasked myself with making a homemade cherry pie in tribute to the 4th of July for the folks back home. Please see tomorrow’s post for ingredients and details, until then sleep tight ladies and gents.
