Hello everyone and first of all thank you all for your lovely comments on my last blog post .... I was thrilled that you all did comment... so thank you :)
This is a rose for you all... I know its a Valentine one but I don't have a Valentine in my life now so will give you all a rose .. :)
I have been coping with the heat we get here but we are lucky in Mandurah as the sea breeze comes in and cools things down often. So its not too many days where we cook!!
I have been reflecting on some things lately and they just wont get out of my head so I thought if I write them down it might help me come to terms with these things that are bothering me.
First of all I just want you all to know, I was terribly hurt at the beginning of 2016 when life dealt me a raw deal... I was told to leave my life I was living with my then husband in Melbourne.
I won't say exactly what was said but it was enough for me to say.. "Well its all over!!" So I organised a removalist and packed up my stuff and moved back to W.A.
As I said I lived with my son for a few months as I got the truck load of my stuff that cost over $6,000.00 moved to his place in Dumbleyung. I didn't get any help from anyone and its only because I got a bit of an inheritance that I was able to afford to move. I had to buy myself another car as the one I had in Melbourne was totalled by my FIL and originally I was going to drive it back to WA but after he smashed it up, I couldn't and therefor I had to fly back and also had to leave my little fur baby behind as she wouldn't have handled the flight over. I wont say what I thought of my FIL then as it still stands today. Not Nice!!
Anyway I was not well at that time and those who went to LGS in Tassie would remember I was not well at all. I didn't join in on any thing much then cause I just couldn't and didn't want to embarrass myself by being sick everywhere. Then when I got home the shit hit the fan so to speak and I then had to pack up and move back to WA as an unwell person.
It was just as well I got that inheritance as it helped me get my life back on track... Well I thought it was getting back on track...
I then talked with the ones who I was a part of in organizing the LGS weekends and told them that I couldn't make it to the Adelaide for the 2017 one as I was still unwell and I had a new fur baby and would encounter several expenses to get to it. I was shunned off big time and I mean "BIG' and I have not been spoken to since and was told that my design I had was not welcomed as I wont be there.
I was planning on going to the next one in 2018 as I should have things on track by then but because I had backs turned on me I felt like I was not welcomed anymore.
I used to get phone calls by one of the "Nutters" every week and after I told them all I couldn't go those phone calls stopped...Boom!! no more... the so called 'Sistas' in my life where I was told that they loved me and will be Sisters for ever just didn't speak to me again. One has and I am thankful that she isn't like the other two.
I was deeply hurt and this blew me out of the water and I still am trying to work out how a Christian person can do this?? All I did was say I couldn't go to the
Adelaide LGS.
Anyway I am sure a few of you go to these weekends away and I hope that you have a wonderful time there. Just don't believe all you are told until you get it from the horses mouth. (Mine)
The next chain of events are very disappointing as you think you have friends and you listen to all their woes and tribulations and show them empathy and such but when you confide in them when you are having a lousy time in life they run for the hills. A couple of so called friends have run away and wont explain why they have and so I wont wonder anymore as I now am a firm believer in this below.
I have a few lifetime friends but not many. I love them dearly.
So those who belong to LGS were a Reason...
The friends who I thought were my true friends were a Season. After awhile they ran away.... bye bye Seasons....
I am a Taurus and once I make a friend and let you in my life I expect to be your friend for a Lifetime. I used to get hurt very badly when those friends turned their backs on me but now I don't hurt anymore as I was a Reason in their lives. They needed to learn something from me. Once they did they had no need for me... Oh well.. bye bye Reasons :)
I am guessing many of you wont be able to handle all this truthfulness and will stop following me or be like the Reasons and Seasons.
I am feeling better since I got this all written down and out there and I know I can now move on.
I really need to move on. So I am gifting this to myself :)
If you are still with me I will show you some of the things I have been sewing...
Yes if I didn't sew I would be in jail... It keeps me sane.
Here are some quilts I have made and then quilted using my Q'nique 14+ longarm sewing machine... but will post more at a later date. Yes I brought it over with me...no way was I leaving that behind!!
This one below was a customer order...she supplied the fabrics and I made a quilt to her specifications and then quilted it.
This cushion below was designed for the Adelaide LGS but once I wasn't going I changed it to suit me with a different centre part. I love it and always have it out at Christmas time.
My Q'nique set up at my sons house. He is the best installer :) actually he has installed it 4 times for me since I moved over.
This quilt I love and was fabulous to sew together and quilt.
Anyway I will leave you for now and will show you more next time.
Hugs to all
