I have been a very slack blogger of late – I must admit a lack of blogging inspiration – it takes all my time to prepare and write your Stitched Sunday lessons and that is as far as I have been getting.

Sometimes, being a designer in the solitude of a studio is a wonderful, peaceful and inspirational place to be – but it can also be quite isolating – that is when my blogging and facebook friends and community become very important to me, you can be here with me as I work through my day. Keeping my spirits up, keeping the adrenalin and inspiration flowing, keeping me sane and together…. so please stay here in touch and keep me company and I promise I will write to you more often….whether it be important, ground breaking news or just a thought or emotion.

Last week I did leave the hectic peace of my studio to spend a few quality days of fun with my wonderful family in the sunshine… We mixed it with the rich and famous – well as close as we’ll get to them..

It is sometimes important to remember that my family will not be here with me forever and I don’t want to get to a later stage in my life and not have these memories to cherish…

We all know how precious life is, sometimes we just have to stop and remember that in the hectic pace of business and living. I wish I could do it again next week…will just go and buy that lotto ticket

hugs to you all, be back soon
