Oh hey.........

Oh hey.........So it's been a while huh? What can I say? Life ?????I ended up taking a sort of unplanned break from blogging not for any particular reason apart from everything just got in the way, work , divorce things,small child, health issues etc. I've still been sewing just not as much, because it feels like every hour of my day is full up. But I do have some makes and I'm gonna try and get back into sewing. At the minute I'm not sure if I'll try and keep blogging or of I'll just be instagramming my makes.So shall we have a little catch up?


I've been spending a lot of time with family which is really lovely and I even managed to get a nice picture of me and my dad which is great because I realised I don't actually have a lot of pictures of me and my dad together. 


I learnt to crochet! FINALLY! I was lucky enough that at work we had a crochet teacher in a work and my manager let me have half an hour to try and learn. Well one thing led to another and now I can make simple projects this lion for example! 


I started my own business selling unique handmade children's clothes. It's called iddy biddy boutique and you can find me on Facebook! 


This lil dude just turned 8 he's doing incredible to say he's had quite a tough year but he's just going from strength to strength and I've never been prouder of him! He actually read the first Harry potter in two days can you believe it?


In the past few months I even picked up 3 new sewing machines! Yes 3!!!! Two from the seventies and a treadle!!! Yes I own a treadle sewing machine!!!! I've wanted one for ages and it seems like a dream that I finally have one!


And um this happened too! This is John and he's my boyfriend , he's sweet and funny and kind. We started off as friends but when I was basically crashing after everything he was the person who rang me every morning to make sure I hadn't slept through my alarm and made me dinner when he knew I wasn't eating and fixed my car so I wouldn't have to take it to the garage. 

And well one thing led to another and now he's one of my absolute favourite people. 

Plus he's got this habit where I sit down to sew and he immediately makes me a brew???? It's bizarre but wonderful! 

Anyway hopefully I'll have another blog post ready soon! 

And hopefully I won't leave it so long again!!! 

Much love

Frankie
