I’m making this short and sweet. My grandmother died three weeks ago and all hell has broken loose since then. Or at least it feels that way. It is one of those nasty situations and unfortunately my name has come into it for some reason and it is consuming my time. It is so very stressful and I’m loosing weight and sleep and all I want to do is grieve for my grandmother. I’m finding time to paint on this, as it seems to be the only thing to calm my nerves and allow me to take a break and recenter myself. Things will be very quiet around here for awhile, but as soon as I have time to be creative again, I will be releasing a new pattern and hope to share some fun projects. Email is always a great way to get ahold of me if you need to, but don’t fret if it takes me a little while to get back to you. I appreciate everyone that takes the time to stop in here to see what I’m up to and offer words of encouragement and I can’t wait to get back to what I love to do best – quilting! I’ll be sure to share photos of this project when I’m all done and I’m sure there will be more painting projects to follow in the coming weeks. I also hope to be back next week to talk about Threadbias’ new quilt Design Tool!
Oh bugger, sorry for your loss and ongoing problems! Hope the painting helps recentre you
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear. Hoping everything will be cleared up easily. Sometimes dealing with family can be very touchy. Wishing your quilting time will be able to return soon!
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear of your loss. Went through the extended family horribleness when they decided to put her in a nursing home and look forward (NOT) to it occurring again when she passes. You have my sympathy and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your Grandmother. I know exactly how you feel, my Grandfather passed away last week and I am dealing with all the same things. Please let me know if you need to talk.

I'm very sorry about your grandmother. I wish you peace and quiet and time to grieve for your loss.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the loss of your grandmother. The stuff associated with it will pass, but I hope the scars are not too deep and heal well. My father always told me not to worry about the rest of the world if when I looked in the mirror I could look myself in the eye and say I did the right thing. I am sure you can - so what the heck is wrong with the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that things are not as they should be. I pray for peace for you, and time to grieve. Bless your home this week. All will be well again.
ReplyDeleteThoughts are with you. Ignore the blog/quilt world and focus on yourself and your family. We'll still be here when you get back.

Praying for you!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you. I hope that the grumpy people will have some karma bite them in the butt. :) I hope you get a little peace and calm this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your lose. Unfortunately, grief sometimes brings out the worst in people, hopefully you can remove yourself from that and just focus on remembering your grandma and taking care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteAh, much love, Christa! I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother and even sorrier to hear that you aren't getting the time to grieve and heal that you deserve. That sucks. Wishing you peace, healing, and understanding. Also sending virtual brownies. They have no calories. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm terribly sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry for the drama that's in your life right now when you need to grieve. I hope it gets better soon. Prayers for you!!!
ReplyDeletemy condolences to you.
ReplyDeleteso sorry for your loss. my family had the same thing happen and it is just not fair. Why can't some people just let things alone. I am sorry. it is so hard when you just want to grieve.
ReplyDeleteon another note... I am loving that painting. I think that is giving me some ideas!!!!
Sorry to hear about your loss. It seems that some family members lash out in their grief because they are so angry about their loss that they don't care about anyone else's. I hope that things settle down soon and that you fine solace in your creativity.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your grandma. And hopefully whatever else is going on will clear up too.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself x
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your grandma. Hope you have time for lots of art and craft therapy! And that the family drama clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's some pretty good therapy. Hopefully things have simmered down and you've had some space to just be. Sorry to hear of your loss.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. I hope things smooth over soon so you can get some time to grieve and remember.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear - saying a prayer. Thanks for sharing your lovely painting project.
