Since April, I have been feeling - well I don’t know how I have been feeling. I feel I have lost my way. The feeling is indescribable. I feel I am in the proverbial dark tunnel not seeing the light yet - well maybe, read on…….. I lost my job in April, the job I really loved, I had been there seven and half years I actually didn’t mind getting up and going to work, even on bad days! I was in my element, I was selling things I knew about. I know about haberdashery and yarns and threads, it is something that comes very natural to me, not so much about art stuff, but I learnt (it was a craft shop). I lost the job because of new owners and new brooms and all that! Since April, whenever I have started something it always seems the goal posts got moved, people stopping me doing things because I was asked to do something else, things not finished, things left in limbo or things just not started that I wanted to make because I had no get-up-and-go! I just didn’t know what to do for the best.

I have been inspired by a lovely lady called Helen. We have met on a few occasions and each time she inspires me more and more. We have had great chats, it’s a pity she lives so far a away. Recently I have been at my dads, he just turned eighty, I took my knitting, there was no computer so I did a lot of thinking. Sometimes it is not good to think to much, but I think my thinking this time may take a positive turn - I hope!

As you know I collect vintage magazines, I sit and read them quite regularly, thinking I could make that, and that, and so on……..and as you know I have made these and this, and this all from the vintage magazines. So this is what I have decided!

KC’s Court - this blog where I am writing now. This is my main blog, the place where I just chat about things and show and tell.

It Works For Me… - is where I give you hints and tips that I have worked out for myself and thought I would share.

Julie’s New Patch - I started it because for some reason I wanted a new blog, to me it’s a bit like having a nice new note book to write in. But I have made a mess of the first page and have “torn” the page out and started again! Please take a look, I am hoping this will be my new adventure!
