Dreaming of rainbows.

Pin It


If you aren't familiar with that quilt there, it was made by the lovely Lindsey at Happier than a Bird Quilts. She made it from my Linky Love pattern, and Vanessa's Simply Color ombré jelly roll.

She sent it to me this past week. ♥

This winter has been very bittersweet for me.
This blog has been quiet because I had been working on the best kind of WIP, but the baby lost his or her heartbeat around the end of 2013. :( It was our second loss in a row, and just hard. And confusing.

My heart has been so soft to the women who go through these things without two littles at home to snoogle. And I've been even softer to those two littles at home. Appreciating them more. Seeing them better. And their wonderful dad too... who has been so incredibly good to me.

So I hadn't been doing a lot of sewing. But it's picking back up again. And it felt like time to get back to the blog. I anticipate you'll be hearing more from me again, more often. You can find me on Instagram too (Hubby bought me an ipad for Christmas). :)

--------------

I'm going to be running a few pattern sales in the next few weeks, because not only have the last few months been kind of rough, they've also been burdeningly expensive. So the Linky Love pattern is on sale for $6 for a limited time if you'd like to buy one! Here and on Craftsy. :) Thank you! ♥

(and P.S. Go look at pinksuedeshoe's version of Linky Love that lives on her bed! It's amazing!)

oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. No one but you knows what you're going through, but I have lost little ones, and I know it's hard to persevere sometimes. I wish you the very best.

Dear Tracey, I am truly sorry for your loss. Do not let anyone spoil your joy with your two little ones. I understand your pain, have been there myself. Being 27 weeks pregnant now, it just makes me want to cry, hug you, and pick you...keep sewing, it helped me. Prayers for you and your family, from my family.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your little one. I've been through the exact same thing and know that it at least feels better to know that someone else knows exactly how you are feeling. Hugs.

Tracey I am so sorry about your loss . My daughter lost her little girl a 26 weeks and it was so sad as we got to hold her and she was perfect. I don't think you ever really get over it but it will get easier. I pray for your healing and just hug your little ones lots. Hugs Sandra

Hi Tracey, I haven't caught up with you for a while, and had just popped in as I was looking at the triangle quilt you made for your wee girl (which I have had pinned as I love it). Then I got side tracked looking at the essential oils, I think I need to investigate further another time. But that led me on to this post. I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. I know just how hard it is hard to bear but I do hope things are becoming easier with time. As you say, it is hard enough when you already have wee ones to snuggle and take comfort from, it must be so much more dreadful without any children or a supportive father. Thinking of you and sending you hugs, Juliex
