It's been a while....

since I posted, almost 2 years!  My father-in-law took up quite a bit of my time during 2012 and on the 24th September he passed away.  I haven't felt like blogging since then.  His death hit me harder than I imagined it would.  We knew he was going, he was 84 and had been unwell for about half of his life.  It didn't make it any easier though.  I knew him for over 30 years and in that time I can't remember him ever getting angry, he was such a kind and gentle man.  He never lost his cheeky sense of humour either.  I still miss him.

During this time I lost my mojo for scrapping and for patchwork.  Even the photography is on hold.  I just don't feel all that creative any more.  We did have another new arrival though and I made him a little quilt.  It's made from a jelly roll so it came together quite easily.

We are still working from home and enjoying the flexibility and freedom that comes with that.  There have been times when we've worked 7 days a week but that's okay, we know there is light at the end of the tunnel and it won't always be like that.  We were lucky enough to travel to the eastern states for work earlier in the year and had some spare time to have a look around.

Now for something completely different!  A friend had this old meat safe that didn't suit her new house and none of her family wanted it so I am babysitting it for her.  I've put my quilts behind the doors and my vintage linen collection is housed in the drawers.  Love love love it :)
