Things at the moment.

Dear reader,

thank you for coming by and stopping to read my blog, my blog posts have been so erratic over the last few months, that I feel the need to explain to you, with out going in to any detail, that I need to ease up a lot on blogging for a little while. There are a few reasons for this, and those of you who have been reading my blog for years might have sensed something was wrong, because my posting has been erratic the last few months, and I haven't been responding to comments or commenting on people's blogs as much as I usually do, and I'm very sorry about this.

I can't really explain my situation at the moment, it may be that in time I can give you an indication of why things are so difficult, but at the moment it's best that I don't make things public.

What I will try to do is pop in every now and then, and try to be jolly, and get on with life. I'm still knitting, and I hope to do a reveal of the cardigan I'm making at some point.

I've been feeling that I owe it to my loyal readers to let you know that there is a reason for my blogging being so erratic, it's not that I'm losing interest in you, or blogging, it's just that things are difficult at the moment, and they will be for a while.

Thank you.

Vanessa xxx

Oh Vanessa!!! I very much hope that you are okay and surviving this crazy life. My best advice always is to go outside, sit on the grass, look up at the sky and just breathe... no matter the situation it always seems to help.

Big big hugs to you beautiful girl, I hope all works out okay.

Thinking of you and sending you 'sunshine at the end of the tunnel thoughts'. I have followed your blog for several years now and pop in every little while. I felt saddened to hear you are travelling through a difficult period of your life. Ros

Dear Vanessa,

sending you love and warm wishes from the Netherlands, hoping things turn out for the best soon! Take care, a big kiss, Maryvonne

[Karen]

Please don't be offended but I haven't read your blog for quite some time and yet I hit the button tonight and read your post. Feel compelled then to say I hope things come right for you. Read a quote today that I like that may be appropriate. Life is not about avoiding the storms but learning to dance in the rain.

[SmitoniusAndSonata]

Hope that things improve soon . Best wishes !

[Kate]

No need to apologize; life can take unexpected turns. Take care of what's important, remember to take care of yourself, and know we are all praying for you and hoping things get better. Looking forward to your posts when you're up to it.
Blessings,
Kate

[Jeanie Brown]

Just to say ..missing your lovely blog...remember....you can go but be back soon..please rememeber that lots of people are thinking of you ♥

[Cuckoo]

I was reminded of a quote from a film today. It made me think of you. So I've popped over to tell you it.

"Everything will be alright in the end. If it is not yet alright, it is not yet the end".......(possibly not word perfect but you get the gist)

During the hard times it may help to say that to yourself or to whoever it is who suffers.

Hi Vanessa! Wow-what an incredible number of very lovely and thoughtful comments for you... I just wanted to pop in and say hi-I'm friends with Fiona down in Little Kingshill! She showed me your stunning doggy sculpture for her Birthday. You are SO INCREDIBLY talented. Your works is beyond beautiful-really-I am going to save up for a piece one day. Could I feature you on my very new and very little blog? Drop me a mail if you get time trend.daily@yahoo.co.uk All the best Caroline :-)

[Jude]

I read this post when I was in England, and thought of you many times....
I do hope 'things' get better soon, I hope your life isn't too horrid for long, you really don't deserve it...
I just wanted to say, while I was caring for my granddaughter in the UK, I happened to pick up a story book and knew I recognised the artist's name, yes, it was you!!! My daughter was in awe when I showed her your blog and all the lovely things you've made.
Take care

My granddaughter is one year old tomorrow and I was just thinking of your 'Bunny Girl' on her nursery wall so thought I'd pop in to say hello.
Thinking of you and hoping there is some improvement in 'things at the moment'.
