What to say ? ......


Hello All,

Once again I find myself apologising for the fact I have not been in MIA in blogland. I have wrestled with myself as to whether I wanted to explain the reason why or not. I have come to the conclusion that I have received so much support here that I should just go for it.

I was expecting my first child, so at first I was finding it difficult to keep up with blogging and crafting as I was so tired that I was finding that I was preferring sleep than to craft. Sadly I have had a miscarriage, and so I have needed time to get my head round things. I spent a week away just to try and get a proper rest.

I am beginning to feel more myself, and I am sure I will get myself crafting again ...... and of course I am wanting to catch up with you all ..... and I will be popping round all your blogs again soon.

The card I have shown today is one I made a while ago with the most gorgeous LOTV image. and I coloured with copics....I liked the way the little scene turned out so I kept the embellishments to a minimum.

I promise I will catch up soon

  2. OMG Juls what can I say, you have been one of the most supportive people I have met in blogland and I can't believe this has happened to you. I am crying my eyes out for you. I know that won't help you but believe me you will get through this with the support of your nearest and dearest. Time is a great healer and take all the time you need hun.
    Just know I am thinking of you as are all the others of your followers who have read this post.

    Your card is beautiful like you. Take care.
    (I hope this wasn't too much of a bungling comment for you.)

  12. Oh Juls, I am so sorry to hear your news. I know how devastating losing your first child can be, it happened to me too, but now I have 2 fabulous grown up kids and grandchildren. I know it hurts but try and take heart and stay positive. Hopefully crafting will give you some time to heal and my prayers are with you for a happy outcome soon. Love your cute card and you have just inspired me for a DT piece I need to get ready - now looking for my LOTV stamps I haven't yet inked up.
    Lots of cyber love and cuddles to you both.

  21. Hi Juls, so sorry to hear about your loss. I know one friend who was told that particular baby wasn't meant to be and she had a son the same age as mine soon after. Belive me it's better to happen now and not after a full pregnancy - as I know. As Pinky said Mother Nature usually knows best. I hope you can get plenty of rest now and time to grieve for you and your husband.

    I'm glad you're beginning to feel a little better now and you're feeling able to craft again. This is a beautiful card, I love that image and the little flowers are a lovely little touch.

    Take care,

    Kat xx

  30. Hi Juls
    I have tears in my eyes as i type this. I feel so sad for you. I can't imagine what you are going through.Just follow the Doctors advice and rest.
    My sister had several miscarriages but now has 2 girls, 15 and 22.My mum lost a boy between my sister and me. I have never experienced a loss like that but when I was expecting my son, Daniel we were told to expect him to be born with deformities. He is now 20 and at Uni studying Film Production and Media and is a very bright boy. He has no deformities at all, apart from beeing very sickly as a young child.
    The fact that you have been through this and still commented on mine, and others blogs, really means more to us than a normal comment would. Oh dear I am getting mushy now so will end. Take care
    Many warm hugs Sarah XXX
    p.s. forgot to say your card is gorgeous!!!!!
