What a shock we all had at the weekend on hearing the news about Sarah. I felt the words above were so appropriate because she was taken from us far too soon. I hope her family all know what we are thinking and the love we are sending them helps to get them through this very difficult time.
On top of the sadness felt about losing Sarah we had yet more news on Sunday when we heard one of our dearest friends had suddenly died. It definately teaches us to live every day because we really don't know what's around the next corner do we? When I'm feeling sad I sew and do my best to keep busy and this week I've certainly done that.
I've made these three more Memory bears in memory of a special Dad.
I've also had 2 bridesmaids and 2 wedding dresses as well as trousers to shorten and a boiler suit to alter to be used for fancy dress.
I have made 6 little Christmas teddies [they are only about 6" tall] to be sold for the HJ Charity.
I have also made 10 little Christmas gnomes using the pattern Jan sent me...Thanks Jan much appreciated.
I'm sure they will sell well.
That just leaves me to say RIP Sarah...you will be sadly missed.
Hugs,
Annie x

I didn't know Sarah, but am so glad I have some of her cards Atc's and messages on my blog. I still can't feel that its real. WOYWW((Lyn)) #21xxx
Plus....I love your Christmas bears and Gnomes! xxx
Sarah was indeed taken too soon, Annie. It just doesn't seem right somehow. And, as if Sarah dying wasn't bad enough, your friend has died too - you must be devastated. I hope sewing those bears and gnomes helped - they are lovely. Hugs, Ellie x #19
The bears and gnomes are lovely, and I hope sewing them helped a bit😢 Big hugs to us all😢❤️especially to her family, and a big "thank you" to Sarah who was a part, however small, in all of our lives on WOYWW. Lindart #20
What a beautiful comment Annie and so apt in respect of Sarah. I had a similar experience of hearing of another friend's death just shortly after learning of Sarah's. It was a bit of a morninjg for me as I guess it was for you. Love your bears and gnomes, they always make me smile. Love n hugs Cindyxx
