Hi there, how are you doing? I hope you are doing well and enjoying spring.
I have been absent for a while and I will continue to be so for some time longer. But I finally have the courage to give a little explanation for my absence.
If you have been following me for a while you will know that I lost my job in May of last year as a consequence of the Covid crisis. And last month, my partner and father of my children decided to leave me. After 28 years of living together.
Needless to say this was a huge blow and I now find myself at almost 50 years old, alone and unemployed. Not only do I have to face a precarious financial situation but my mental health has taken a serious hit.
For about 3 weeks I hardly touched my needles. I simply lost the will to live and only functioned on autopilot for survival. Slowly, very slowly I am trying to get back to life and that includes my needles. I have been doing a little bit of knitting most days and it does feel good.
However I do not feel capable of continuing to blog for the moment. I am too depressed to be able to provide any kind of informational or fun content for the moment.
I would like to thank you for stopping by and for your understanding. I hope to return to blogging in the future and in the meantime here are a few pictures of what I am working on now.

Thank you Regina for your kind words. I know I will get through this in the end, it’s just so painful at the moment that I can’t even imagine there being a light at the end of the tunnel.

What got me through was knowing that even in my darkest hours, God was still with me. I kept telling myself that God loves me and I will be a stronger woman in the end.
