Making: Christmas decorations with Lola embroidered on them for the grandparents.
Made: Pretty dress for my neice and birthday cakes galore
Attempting: Fabric Dollhouses
Random act of kindness: Cupcakes for my husbands workmates and a couple of other secret ones
Thinking: Of Lola on the 6 month anniversary of her death
Wishing: My Mother-in-law and my neice a happy birthday
Hoping: to find a way to make peace with Lola's death
Dreaming: of our summer holiday by the beach
Questioning: the meaning of all this. What is the point when our lives can be taken away so easily? I mean life is good and all but it is gone in the blink of an eye
Watching: Up
Recently discovered: Kikki k (I know I am slow on this one but OMG so many cute present ideas) and Provincial, I want the whole shop as my house!
Appreciating: my family and some super special friends
Looking forward: to our first crafternoon
Inspired by: Pip Lincolne and Sheye Rosemeyer
Wishing: For happiness not tinged with sadness and guilt
Waiting: for an email from a clairvoyant. (I am driving myself crazy checking my email every other mintue)
Realising: I need help to work through the darkness
Wanting: all those in my life to smile and love and laugh and appreciate and I want to be a better person
Playing: Hooky on thursday from work because it is the 6 month anniversary of Lola being born still. We are going to the chapel where her funeral was held for some peace and perspective
Loving: unleashing my creativity
Not loving: negativity and nastiness
Thanking: those people brave enough to witness my pain for a moment in their day. Your generosity in putting yourself in my shoes for just a moment is AMAZING

crafternoon is just a perfect phrase. adding coffee behind it, or tea, might be the only thing that could enhance it.
The dress is beautiful.
I found six months to be particularly painful and difficult, so sending you much grounding and love as you move through this week.

PS. I am also waiting for an email from a clairvoyant...excited about that!
De-lurking to say:

Will be thinking of your especially over the next wee while.

Kris, yours and Bren's strength amazes me, you have overcome some very big obstacles and did it with the strength of a bull (though you may not see it) and you are taking each day a step at a time. The dress would be worn daily if allowed (needs time for a wash though) and the cake was pretty special and OMG yummy!!!
You are both doing a great job, and we are always here for you. All you have to do is call x
