Interesting facts about me

Well not sure they're interesting

Got into card making Nov 07, but have enjoyed 'crafting' for years. Knitting, crocheting, cross stitching. Now go to a craft class and have sampled glass painting, folk art, making flower with beads, mod podge, next week we start barge painting (no not the barge, the artifacts(?)).

Found out on the 4th Jan that i'm a grandma, didn't know my daughter was pregnant, she had baby Leena Ellen (finally got the correct spelling, after making baby card and congrats card), on 30th December, so now making new cards. Things got started to go wrong between us after i left her dad, boys talk to me the youngest now and then, oldest very regularly. Things got really bad after my mother went and had her twopenneth about her dad and boyfriend (possibly now husband) and we haven't spoken for 6 1/2 years and it really hurts. We have exchanged a couple of letters and hopefully i can build a bridge back to her. She was more like my little sister than daughter and i really miss that. Had dreams about when she would be pregnant, ie going shopping together, doing things together, etc. Got none of that. I have suffered from depression for many many years and this hasn't helped.

Still on one of Joanne's samples it said 'What's gone is in the past, the best is yet to come', so with that thought in mind, i go forward each day.

Thanks for reading this, needed to write it down but wasn't sure where so did it here.

Now happily remarried (on my 49th birthday) and have to lovely dogs, both as daft as brushes, yes even the rottie, in fact he's been known to hide behind me or his baby 'brother' the cav.

    Hi

    Been a while since i wrote on here, but then again not really done alot for the last good few weeks. Just the bare necessities, ie shopping, dropping things off to friends.

    Really feeling down, even waking up depressed. In fact things are that bad i've felt like ending it all. Feel that i just can't cope anymore. SS being here makes things alot worse. Seems like since he moved back there has been a really heavy black feeling over the house. Which now i think...

    Well today finally made the card for SS (not sure if that is correct code for stepson) that i didn't want to make, but hey didn't do it for me, did it for his dad. Haven't heard from him since Christmas Eve and don't know where he's living. Had a phone call from one of his creditors, but OH dealt with it.

    Not much else to say today, other than still down, feel better for posting on forum.

    Will see what tomorrow brings.

    Well as yet, no comms from daughter about cards or anything else. Am gonna send her a Mother's Day card, after all when you are creating cards you can create them for any occasion can't you, and i'm sure i've seen one that said 'To My Daughter On Mother's Day'.

    Thing is with no feedback from her, should i keep sending or call it a day and try something else. Don't intend giving up but don't know whether i'm doing right for doing...

    Just read your blog after asking for help with "top up" credit card.
    You do sound sad and I feel for you. I have 4 children who mean the world to me, as do all 8 grandchildren.
    I feel you should try to make contact with your daughter, she's probably hurting as much as you but pride is such a destructive emotion. I lost a sister who suffered from depression, my parents were never sympathetic to her needs and I know they now regret not being there for her. Close as we were, she would sometimes shut me out when she had a "downer", but I was persistent and had to be prepared to be ignored without anger. I still miss her, she would have loved to share my passion for crafting, she always encouraged me in any venture I undertook even though she was younger than me.
    Keep trying with your daughter, you are both missing so much and no one can change the past, so keep looking forward to mend the broken ties.
    Hugs,

    image hi just wanted to say hello to you.Sorry about the problems with your daughter, please don't let it go on any longer, whatever it takes you must make direct contact with her, the longer it carries on the harder it'll become. Hope I don't sound too bossy,I read your profile & you sounded so sad. image Jan x
