Kathryn you are grieving for so many things. Life is never simple no matter how much we hope it is. Time is the healer. We your UA-cam friends will support you on your good and bad days. We’re not going away. I’m really sorry you are stuck with us. 🤗💜💜💜
My old dog Stella who is now in the sky . we use to say Stelly belly boo boos. And I hear you call your Stella boos when you were in the woods boo. And it made me smile and brought back so many memories
When your down and discombobulated look around at what you have achieved yourself. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to reflect it's how we heal x
What a lovely video. A very human video. Thank you for sharing both your skills and your home, but most of all for sharing your feelings. Sending much love as you come down and land in this new chapter of your life x
Hello Lovely Kathryn I think this may be my favourite video yet ❤ On a platform that can sadly be largely vapid and disingenuous you are a beam of sunlight through the clouds. I am probably the 5 Millionth person to say how much I value and admire your authenticity and grace. I loved watching your eco-dyeing process: what a gentle, mindful way to begin to ground yourself in your new environment. The artworks with which you have lined your home are exquisite beyond words. If you ever make photos of them all into a book, I would definitely buy it! And finally, those Popular Poplars that Populate your Perambulations would be Perplexed if they were Purpledicular 🤭
I think the woodland is telling you it loves you, and you are welcome there, as this is just so incredibly beautiful. Love and light and so many blessings to you dear lady x
You will no doubt have five hundred witty and intelligent responses to this - mine is to send love and hugs and thank you fervently for bringing us along. And gasp over the gorgeousness that is your work!! 💚💚
I really enjoyed this one. The ecoprinting,the walk, the tour of your work……. The route to recovery and healing is never a straight line, but we are all here to support you in the journey as your UA-cam friends. And in healing yourself you are helping us to heal. Thank you thank you ,
I became single after 37 years. I completely understand how you are feeling. All I can say is give yourself time to adjust to your new surroundings and to life on your own. This doesn't happen overnight. By adding your art quilt pieces and other well-loved art to your home will ease the change to your "new life". I enjoyed your walk through the woods collecting fallen leaves and I especially love how you ask permission first of the tree to take a leaf. Life is good. You just have to give yourself time to realize that.
Good to see you keeping it real, Kathryn. The body keeps the score. Real helps health - as well as the wonderful fresh air you are getting. Love your new woods.
Dear Kathryn, There is a touching saying in Arabic: "Yam assel, yam bassel" - a day of honey, a day of onions. You are right to acknowledge both. It takes time to adjust to the new situation, and I think you're doing wonderfully. We are all here for you, when you want our company. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the woods, and love the resulting ecoprint. So inspiring! And seeing so much of your beautiful work is a joy, as ever - and I can well imagine what a comfort it is to have all those memories and touchstones around you. Sending a big hug. ❤
Kathryn, we are of an age, the difference being I became "single" 18 years ago after a 25 year relationship,. The transition is undoubtedly hard, as are all major life changes, but I hope with time you begin to feel the absolute freedom your new life offers. Definitely allow yourself to lean in to all the feelings you describe, knowing that they will pass, and life will offer up new and exciting opportunities and friendships. The Park (Home) is looking so wonderfully cozy with the addition of all your fabulous artworks, like walking into a warm hug. More joyous times will follow in your new setting, I feel sure. ♥
Adding your own work really makes it your home. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself. Give Fred-Fred and Stella a scratch behind the ears for me!
I was so excited for Park Home Life :) love it! Your new home has such a wonderful feel about it:) also I really enjoy your commentary from the very start I have been impressed with your knowledge of all things textile. / arts and crafts ...your such an interesting lady :) finally I sincerely appreciate your advice and tutorials your an awesome teacher I hope with my whole heart you feel better and find happiness in your wonderful art as we all do as your subscribers :) my grams always told me when I was upset This to shall pass ...:) sending hugs
Wow Kathryne, you really put a lot of work into your'e lovely little home surrounded with your beautiful work. So glad your furr babies are with you too❤❤❤
A heartfelt and touching video of your new world, Kathryn , you have achieved so much with all the shock and grief you have gone through in such a short space of time. Thank you for your honesty in how you are feeling, you are incredibly courageous and amazing - how you have already created a beautiful home for you and your gorgeous Fredfred and Stella... your work is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing it all - you have an inner strength that you may not feel at times, but shines through in your creativity - your new home - quilting and the eco-printing so mindfully. Take care of you. I love your wittering and humour having found your channel from Marion's World.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Love the video. “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” It seems as if credit goes to Jamie Anderson, author of Doctor Who.
Omgosh your place looks AMAZING! You have done so much in such a short time. It looks like you’ve lived there for years! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Your beautiful hand made things all around you giving you hugs when you need them. Change… it’s always an adjustment isn’t it? I’m sure your emotions will go up and down for many months as you go through each season. Sending you huge hugs! 🥰❤️💜❤️
Thank you Jeri, I am a little like a woman possessed, plus the sight of unpacked boxes was upsetting me, nowhere to 'hide' them and of course the stuff needed somewhere to go. Hugs to you too ❤️
I live in South Africa and our lives are so different. Thank you for sharing your life with us, I'm really enjoying it so. You are so mindful, I feel sure that you will surely heal and be much stronger.
"There is a crack in everything that's how the light gets in" Leonard Cohen no less...oh I love all your beautiful art hanging in your home gallery space. What a prolific creator you are, I very much enjoyed my evening viewing of this wonderful presentation. From the walk in the woods collecting, to the teaching given on how to eco print, the clock chiming in the background, your homely sweet sanctuary you've created with all your treasures around you, you have and are doing beautifully as you navigate unknown waters. Stella and Fred Fred have the best Park (Home) Life with you. You are appreciated and loved, all the best going forward Kathryn. 🥬🍁🕰🪡🧵💖
I love your Wild Horizons. Modern quilting is something I've become more interested in over last few months. Pure abstract art, quilt or otherwise, though I still getting to grips with.
Dear dear Kathryn, one day at a time. You have achieved so much already. Loved the walk through the woods. Your home looks cosy,warm and inviting. Take care ❤🇦🇺🦘🧵Margaret
I've found that the grief of loss is like walking across a plateau, saying ' I've got this ' one minute, then falling off the cliff into despair the next. Working through the ups and downs is a process managed hour by hour, day by day. It will get easier. I'm glad you've connected with your environment through eco-dying, the results are amazing. Your work is so beautiful! You've created a wonderful, warm, inviting home. The cheese crates are perfect as well. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Yes, it's almost a shock when you think it's ok and suddenly it's not. But as long as we can always scramble back up onto the plateau, it will be ok. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtalessometimes the scramble takes longer. That's when you hug your fur babies, go for a walk, and then pick up your cloth, needle and thread. ❤
Hi! Many of us have been/are in the same boat…enjoy the memories that bring a smile, consider the ones that don’t and put them away for another time when you’re feeling stronger. At this moment you are experiencing a lot of ‘firsts’ first autumn morning waking up alone, first Xmas, new year, birthday etc., make plans for those days, please do not sit alone 🙏 you have so many friends here that love you ❤❤❤❤❤
I'd love to have had you as a teacher in textiles. You've made some amazing art and pleasing to the eyes. I love the little cottage vibe. Beautiful place 😍 💕 ❤️ ✨️
Oof, I'll be watching this again to absorb all you've shared. Incredible work. I just want to say that you'll turn those surreal experiences into amazing new work once you get stuck in. I think a part of you knew you were going to need this village you started developing all those months ago. I'm humbled to be a tiny part of it.
Ah the inner work begins at a new level. Once the painting of walls and the moving of furniture and pets is done.... now the inner work. My mum used to say what would be the point? (if if makes me feels sad etc) I had no words that would make sense to her. Thank you for speaking so beautifully and honestly about this. Massively helpful, I know you'll find your way through it, and there are so many of us so grateful for your sharing, and inspiration guidance and offerings of stitching too.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with is all. It was wonderful to see all of your works of artistry. Many hours of love and hand stitching. You’re a very talented woman!!
Katherine I think you are doing brilliantly ☺️ new beginnings can be a long slow process and you will transition thru your grieving in your time. Thank you for all you continue to share with us and allow yourself much grace!
Wow Kathryn! I knew you were talented but my goodness seeing all your works has my jaw dropped on the floor! You are truly amazing! I especially love “That’s how the light gets in.” Wow! You’re doing such an amazing job moving forward…just want to say be gentle and gracious to yourself. If you need to grieve or cry or shout or sleep or whatever….thats okay too. We’ll always be here for when you are ready. God bless you and thanks for sharing the beauty of your home and the beauty of who you are!
Life changes are a process. It takes time to come to terms with your new reality. I once read that you should honor your pace and it is ok to be sad and then ok and then excited about the new possibilities that you control and then sad about what was. Take your time and know that the best path is to walk through it all. Don’t try to rush it or circumvent it. I am 74 years old and have had my own life challenges. You are a wonderful person who deserves a wonderful life and I truly believe you will have that life. Above all, give yourself grace. With love
wow! it is pretty amazing to see all of your work hanging up or displayed. i can't believe how much you've accomplished in your park home so quickly. as always, thank you for sharing your life so authentically with us Kathryn. i appreciate that so much. linda from california
I also went through my ups and downs as I adjusted to being single again. I think it's just part of the process. I was fortunate in that I had access to free counseling at the time, which helped me get through some of the rough patches. How fun to learn about the beautiful trees in your new woods and I always enjoy watching an eco-print unveiling. Your home looks so lovely with your beautiful quilts hanging among other treasured pieces. I love the photo of you and your Mom and the sketch of Sirius that your son made.♥
Dear k3n you re in the midst of a really challenging process;sometimes just doing the next ten minutes at a time and carrying on breathing out and in is more than enough. Thankyou for all you ve shared .sending love and hugs xxx
Your artwork is exceptional, museum-worthy, imho. Thank you for the tour of home, hearth and hinterland. So nice to “travel” and see the world thru someone else’s eyes.
Grief is such a complex feeling. I think we get pressured (by others and ourselves) to “just get over it and move on”. Like there is some unspoken time frame in which we are allowed to grieve. But there isn’t and that is ok. You do you (as you always say). 😊 I appreciate and support you in all the ways you show up - happy, sad, giddy, wittering… it’s all you and it’s all good. On another note: I really LOVE “Park, Home, Life”. Thank you for sharing your lovely new home with us and the beautiful woodland there. Your wall hangings are stunning! And, thank you for all the clothtales - I love them too. Be well Kathryn. Love and hugs and peace. KimE
Love the tour and seeing your fabulous art. Be easy with yourself. Time can help, or at least dull the sharper edges. With love n hugs from across the pond, Cyn in California USA. ❤
I love the way you've displayed your artwork. It almost feels like your home is hugging you and helping to heal and move on to whatever the future brings. Thank you for your honesty and inspiration. Jx ❤
Such a wonderful video Kathryn..... walking with you and Stella, eco dyeing, and all of your amazing fiber art displayed in your cozy new home. Thank you for sharing all of it. And thank you for being honest about your feelings. As I have said before, I was in the same position after 22 years of marriage. Feelings will flow through you like the clouds move in the sky. You will feel all of the feelings: sadness, grief, anger, joy, frustration, and on and on it goes. I found that my feelings could change in a matter of seconds or minutes and sometimes a feeling would linger for a long time. All of your feelings are valid and important. Let them flow. The hills and valleys will be high and deep in these early days and eventually the difference in height between the hills and the valleys will lessen. And they will all become manageable. The important things is: don't stuff the difficult emotions down inside your soul.... that will make them fester. Let them flow, feel them and let them go..... {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Kathryn }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
It’s all good. Journaling and walking are failsafe therapies. Crying is also good because it’s exhausting so you can’t do it for long. I did this 27 years ago and again 3 years ago. The sense of failure is hard to shake, but there it is. I also believe all memory is a fiction. It cannot be anything else. But they are your memories and therefore completely authentic. Just be - we are human beings, not human doings.
Thank you, wonderful words. About crying, I don't like to do it because it upsets Stella and makes me snotty and puffy eyed but sometimes it's unavoidable. My authentic memories and I am a human being, I will remember those two things especially, I will write them in my journal 🙏❤️
The stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, Guilt, and Numbness. You are exactly where you are meant to be, you don't have to name it......embrace your feelings and allow yourself the grace to grieve. You have a plethora of loss. The waves that wash over us are healing, calming, and rejuvenating sending you love and huggs during this time of loss. 🤗 I love your home and how you have surrounded yourself with your exquisite creations! Love the tutorial on eco printing....putting it on my list "to try". Thanks for sharing your life with this community!
Your home is lovely, thank you for the tour and showing your beautiful work hanging on the walls. I hadn't heard of eco printing, and want to try it. I recall that feeling of surreality, from 2 major losses, the world turned upside down. You are doing so well, putting one foot in front of the other. 🌞
It was so lovely wandering through the woodland with you and Stella ❤ I can't believe how beautiful your eco print turned out. Loved seeing all your beautiful wall hangings - what a difference they make in creating a cosy welcoming nest. Ohhh the cheese crates are perfect for storage ❤❤
Hi, again, Kathryn. You kept me company this rainy and foggy Sunday afternoon, and I’ve been attentively listening to your words in the different videos. I strongly believe (from my own experience) that we must allow ourselves to grieve, to cry, to feel sad and angry and to feel disappointed and frustrated, as long as it takes, because if we don’t, those feelings get “stuck” within us and it’s much more difficult to get rid of them later. Your house is turning into an amazing art gallery. I’m sure that with time you’ll feel it as a true home 💙💛🤎🩷❤️💜🩵💚🩶🧡♥️ A special hello 👋🏻 to Fredfred and Stella from me 😊
Hello again, I do know what you mean and I am letting myself feel sad and or angry, but in short bursts then I get up and do something. If I cry, Stella gets really upset. 😞 Fredfred doesn't care of course. 🙄😁 Lots of love to you Alexandra ❤️❤️❤️
First of all I just want to say how absolutely beautiful your work is and wonderful to see it making your new house your very personal home. Secondly, I loved going on a walk in the English wood with you , brought back so many happy childhood memories of playing in the woods and picking blackberries. Lastly, going through a break up after so many years takes a very long time to completely heal from and even after 21 years still little things trigger painful memories and surprise me as to how , after all this time I find tears welling up. So just to say it’s very natural to have good days and bad days and we are all here to support you and carry you when you need us.
@@k3n.clothtales Yes, it most definitely will! and you will start to really enjoy the freedom of being a single woman and having time for everything you enjoy!
I so agree with Trisha. You will come to know the joy of being a single woman - able to create a life - on your own terms and in your own way - that makes you happy and content and fulfilled!!!!
Thank you for showing us your home. Your textile work is amazing and beautiful. It looks wonderful hanging about. And I love the cheese boxes! They will look fabulous. Have a great day and be gentle with yourself.
I can’t add anything else to all the wise words this comment list, I love your work, your home and your adorable pets. I agree with one of the comments that all the physical work and the discovery of your surroundings has filled your mind, so that settling now gives your mind time to dwell. Embrace the mindfulness, recognise your feelings and thoughts and let them move away. Grief has no rules, it will just be. It will settle. Much love. Xx
Your little house is turning into such a cozy home. I have really come to love watching your videos and you are so comforting. I hope we as your YT friends could be a comfort of even the tinymiest amount. Lots of love to you, Stella and Fred Fred. ❤
I absolutely adore your art quilts. They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your art with us. You are a multi-talented fibre artist and I am constantly amazed at what you do and have done. Sometimes I would love to live in a small space like yours. It looks very cosy and lovable. You have had an awful journey lately and I appreciate all that you shared. The eco dyeing is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Best wishes from Australia.❤
Enjoyed from beginning to end 🍁🌳🧡 Everything is going to be alright . Get stitching through the winter , keep warm and spring will soon come round again .Love all your beautiful artwork , you are truly gifted . Hugs Debbie x
You're going through monumental changes Kathryn. You're entitled to be sad. You're doing everything right, just give yourself time to process all the changes and keep creating your beautiful art. Thank you for the stroll in the woods, and for the review of ecoprinting, and for another glimpse of your beautiful creations hanging on the walls. There is one with a title that reminded me of a song by Leonard Cohen, Anthem. One line says "there is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". Looking forward to your next video. Big virtual hug! ❤
It will be like a grieving process, it’s been a huge change in your life and your dreams for your future you once had. There will be a sea of emotions. You are essentially a positive person, but it’s important to acknowledge the hard emotions when they arise, and I’m sure others will watch your videos and find a lot of help in dealing with the unexpected twists and turns of fate. Your integrity and leap into a new life because the old was not the right path for you are inspirational. I hope your healing is gentle and the blessings keep coming your way.
Your thoughts and feelings are so normal. I was married for 22 years and suddenly I wasn't so I know how it is. I'm in a better place now and you too will feel that way eventually. God bless you Kathryn❤
So lovely to see you in your woods collecting leaves for eco-printing. Thank you for the demonstration. And I love seeing all your art in your new home. I hope that sharing your very personal journey is helping you heal.
You've been so busy for the last few weeks, with decorating, setting up home and travelling back and forward. All of a sudden everything has stopped and you have time to reflect. Please dont re-write history, your memories are valid. Thank you for making your videos, I do enjoy them.
Wow! What a trip!!! You are a clever lady with so much to share. We so appreciate your time. Thank you. I didn't know cheese boxes were a thing! I love them!!! Sending hugs. Gxx
I am just in awe with all of your lovely work and how cozy you have made your new home. I am in the process of preparing and packing for my annual migration to the southern states. Today, I think I will go out and gather a few leaves from all of my trees here and prepare them as you did and bury the cloth instead of boiling and see what nature gives me in return when I come back in May. Thanks for the guided tour of your home and woods.
I loved everything you did in this video - the walk with Stella, gathering the leaves, showing the eco-printing process, and especially your lovely masterpieces spread around throughout your cozy home!!!! I it all brought me so much joy and inspiration!!!! I hope your heart is lightened by the wonderful world you are creating for yourself!!! 💗
Dear Kathryn, grief passes, it just takes time. We’re allso happy to be with you and so appreciate your wonderful vlogs. I have learned so much. Thank you and bless you
Thank you for sharing, many of us are going threw the same. Wanted to send you a huge hug. Great to see you making cloth. Hope you use it in future projects😘
What a beautiful area, I enjoyed this walk in the woods. So sorry you are feeling out of sorts but that is understandable with all you have been dealing with. Thank you for opening up about your feelings with us, sometimes just talking is a big help. I love listening to you wittering. Have a blessed day.
I could feel the disjointed feelings from your out of sorts. You have been through enormous change, and I think you are so wise to begin little things like your eco print roll to anchor you to this new life. I almost cried at the respect you showed the trees and the wood. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I hope the journey becomes easier for you.
I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling out of sorts. Moving house is traumatic enough let alone doing it on your own. I hope you will feel at home sooner rather than later. I loved seeing your eco-dyeing. What a beautiful result you achieved. I can't wait to see what you make with it. Your artwork around your home is beautiful and those cheese boxes are great. Wonderful video. Thank you 🌷
Loved seeing the new woods and all your beautiful stitchery art hanging on your walls. As for the surreal feeling, it’s to be expected at odd times. Some experts in processing emotions say to allow the wave of emotion to pass through you, feeling it fully then letting it pass out of you. I found that to be balderdash. Once I let it in, it tends to stay most unpleasantly. The one thing I do know after having some hard emotional times is that all things eventually pass, so you be you and get through it however you can! Know that you are cherished and supported by your stitching tribe. ❤
thank you for sharing your feelings, your walk through the wood and your home. It may be small but it looks really comfortable ad homely with your work and possessions
After my husband passed away 8 years ago - I had similar feelings and emotions you express - although I will miss him terribly for the rest of my life - time does make things better - God Bless you ❤️❤️
I loved this whole video, snuggling in my bed on a very wet Sunday morning. Your stroll in the woods, learning about leaf printing (so excited to try it out), discovering your amazing pieces of textile art 😲 and how you gave your new home so much personality 💚! And I love how real you are, many will identify with these emotions, it's so human to feel vulnerable in times of change, but you're some strong and inspiring woman ! Take care...one foot in front of the other.
You will need to grieve the loss of your relationship. Adrenaline got you this far, now you can sort things out in your own way , in your own time. Mixed emotions are ok. Grief is a part of life. You will find your way. Loved your video. Love from Texas!
Kathryn, your mish-mash is very cool. Thank you so much for sharing all that you did. I loved the walk in the woodlands and that you know the names of all the trees. That is so awesome. The eco-printing process was great. The reveal was the best part. When I saw your title and that is said you were turning you home into a gallery I was super excited to see your works displayed. I was very humbled to have my little piece shown. I love thinking about the journey it took to get to you. Thank you for the grand tour. I know you’re still getting settled in but what you have shown looks so homey and welcoming and cozy. You’ve done an excellent job of setting up a new home for yourself. You should be very proud of yourself. I wish you all the comfort your place portrays. 💜
Don’t forget “you do you “ go with how you feel but look after yourself it will get easier, what you are going through is a type of grief. Your place is looking like home ,you have done a lot , & your art work is amazing btw. love the eco printing I’m going to have a go at that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️can’t wait to see what you make with the fabric you eco dyed ❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed walking in the woods with you and Stella. What a lovely place to breathe and relax. I love the eco dying. It turned out beautifully. I have tried tea and rose petals with varied results 😅. Now I must try oak leaves and rose leaves. That is what I have in abundance. I typically mordant with diluted soymilk, as I'm lazy... can leave it to soak overnight and use the next morning. No math involved for WOF 😂. Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home. It looks so cozy and snug ❤. And you are surrounded by all your beautiful art! So comforting. Grief is a process with multiple steps. Know that God's mercies are new every morning, and He is with you, if you ask Him to be ❤. We all support you in your journey of healing. One day at a time 🤗💝🎶
Thank you so much for a pleasant walk, a great tutorial, and a lovely tour of your new flat full of beautiful creatures and creations! Je pense bien à vous depuis la France ! May your new life be a blessing, in spite of the current heartbreak. Love 💕💕💕
Good morning Kathryn, surrounding ourselves with our own artwork brings such joy… not only for its beauty but to remember what we have done. Surrounded in colour, happiness and peace. 💕🪡🧵🎉🇨🇦
This is such a relaxing video Kathryn, I can’t identify many of the trees, but I have learnt a lot from this video, and will download the app you mentioned, thank you Kathryn.
Dear Kathryn - these events are monumental in our lives, and we do go through periods of self reflection. The "what if....". "why didn't I see....". "if I had behaved differently would it have made a difference?" It's a natural process, trying to make sense of events. The one thing I came to eventually understand is that I got lost in the relationship, that if I had behaved differently I would not have been true to myself. It's essential to always try to be yourself, that's what makes us strong . If I had behaved in a different way, accepted that I wasn't priority in my husband's life and acted accordingly then I would have been living a lie. We finally parted, it took a while to let the negativity go. A relationship that is no longer working is an unwelcome drain on emotions. Love and hugs to you Kathryn, you'll find your path for your new life. E❤.
Thank you Eileen, your story and mine are very similar, those are my feelings. And you are right, I couldn't have done differently and been true to myself ❤️
Kathryn you are grieving for so many things. Life is never simple no matter how much we hope it is. Time is the healer. We your UA-cam friends will support you on your good and bad days. We’re not going away. I’m really sorry you are stuck with us. 🤗💜💜💜
I think there's a song 'I'm so happy to be stuck with you ' 🥰
@@k3n.clothtales yes, Huey Lewis 💜
So true ! !
My old dog Stella who is now in the sky . we use to say Stelly belly boo boos. And I hear you call your Stella boos when you were in the woods boo. And it made me smile and brought back so many memories
When your down and discombobulated look around at what you have achieved yourself. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to reflect it's how we heal x
This touched me on so many levels. I wish you a gentle healing process ❤
What a lovely video. A very human video. Thank you for sharing both your skills and your home, but most of all for sharing your feelings. Sending much love as you come down and land in this new chapter of your life x
Beautiful work in your new home. Love and best wishes to you, change is always challenging after such a long relationship. ❤x
Well said ! !
Hello Lovely Kathryn
I think this may be my favourite video yet ❤
On a platform that can sadly be largely vapid and disingenuous you are a beam of sunlight through the clouds. I am probably the 5 Millionth person to say how much I value and admire your authenticity and grace. I loved watching your eco-dyeing process: what a gentle, mindful way to begin to ground yourself in your new environment. The artworks with which you have lined your home are exquisite beyond words. If you ever make photos of them all into a book, I would definitely buy it!
And finally, those Popular Poplars that Populate your Perambulations would be Perplexed if they were Purpledicular 🤭
Lovely writing articulate and witty. ❤
The last line - I just howled -you're fabulous!! 😂
lolololol...that's a good one!
Oh thank you so much Bev for making me laugh ☺️❤️❤️❤️
@@bevstorey9077 1.50 am and I'm laughing out loud at the alliterative last paragraph, lovely, thank you. UK. E♥️
I think the woodland is telling you it loves you, and you are welcome there, as this is just so incredibly beautiful. Love and light and so many blessings to you dear lady x
Thank you for those lovely words ❤️
You will no doubt have five hundred witty and intelligent responses to this - mine is to send love and hugs and thank you fervently for bringing us along. And gasp over the gorgeousness that is your work!! 💚💚
And yours is greatly appreciated Nancy, always ❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this one. The ecoprinting,the walk, the tour of your work……. The route to recovery and healing is never a straight line, but we are all here to support you in the journey as your UA-cam friends. And in healing yourself you are helping us to heal. Thank you thank you
,
I became single after 37 years. I completely understand how you are feeling. All I can say is give yourself time to adjust to your new surroundings and to life on your own. This doesn't happen overnight. By adding your art quilt pieces and other well-loved art to your home will ease the change to your "new life". I enjoyed your walk through the woods collecting fallen leaves and I especially love how you ask permission first of the tree to take a leaf. Life is good. You just have to give yourself time to realize that.
Good to see you keeping it real, Kathryn. The body keeps the score. Real helps health - as well as the wonderful fresh air you are getting. Love your new woods.
Dear Kathryn, There is a touching saying in Arabic: "Yam assel, yam bassel" - a day of honey, a day of onions. You are right to acknowledge both. It takes time to adjust to the new situation, and I think you're doing wonderfully. We are all here for you, when you want our company.
I thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the woods, and love the resulting ecoprint. So inspiring! And seeing so much of your beautiful work is a joy, as ever - and I can well imagine what a comfort it is to have all those memories and touchstones around you. Sending a big hug. ❤
Thank you Jill, what a wonderful expression. There is room in life for both honey and onions. ❤️
Kathryn, we are of an age, the difference being I became "single" 18 years ago after a 25 year relationship,. The transition is undoubtedly hard, as are all major life changes, but I hope with time you begin to feel the absolute freedom your new life offers. Definitely allow yourself to lean in to all the feelings you describe, knowing that they will pass, and life will offer up new and exciting opportunities and friendships. The Park (Home) is looking so wonderfully cozy with the addition of all your fabulous artworks, like walking into a warm hug. More joyous times will follow in your new setting, I feel sure. ♥

Wow Kathryne, you really put a lot of work into your'e lovely little home surrounded with your beautiful work. So glad your furr babies are with you too❤❤❤
Loving your woodland walk, especially with Stella popping in and out.
One day at a time and if a day is to long, do an hour at a time ❤️
A heartfelt and touching video of your new world, Kathryn , you have achieved so much with all the shock and grief you have gone through in such a short space of time. Thank you for your honesty in how you are feeling, you are incredibly courageous and amazing - how you have already created a beautiful home for you and your gorgeous Fredfred and Stella... your work is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing it all - you have an inner strength that you may not feel at times, but shines through in your creativity - your new home - quilting and the eco-printing so mindfully. Take care of you. I love your wittering and humour having found your channel from Marion's World.
Hello Shelley, I love Marion and it's lovely to have you here ❤️
I’m loving to see how you integrate your passion for cloth into your home and daily living. It’s beautiful 😍
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Love the video.
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
It seems as if credit goes to Jamie Anderson, author of Doctor Who.
That's so moving, thank you. I think it helps though it made me cry ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales sorry for making you cry, but crying is good 💕💕🥲🥲
Omgosh your place looks AMAZING! You have done so much in such a short time. It looks like you’ve lived there for years! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Your beautiful hand made things all around you giving you hugs when you need them.
Change… it’s always an adjustment isn’t it? I’m sure your emotions will go up and down for many months as you go through each season. Sending you huge hugs! 🥰❤️💜❤️
Thank you Jeri, I am a little like a woman possessed, plus the sight of unpacked boxes was upsetting me, nowhere to 'hide' them and of course the stuff needed somewhere to go. Hugs to you too ❤️
Hugs! Thanks for sharing your new home, your journey, your heart. We are all the better for these things. 🤗
I live in South Africa and our lives are so different. Thank you for sharing your life with us, I'm really enjoying it so. You are so mindful, I feel sure that you will surely heal and be much stronger.
Appreciate your grace and honesty.
"There is a crack in everything that's how the light gets in" Leonard Cohen no less...oh I love all your beautiful art hanging in your home gallery space. What a prolific creator you are, I very much enjoyed my evening viewing of this wonderful presentation. From the walk in the woods collecting, to the teaching given on how to eco print, the clock chiming in the background, your homely sweet sanctuary you've created with all your treasures around you, you have and are doing beautifully as you navigate unknown waters. Stella and Fred Fred have the best Park (Home) Life with you. You are appreciated and loved, all the best going forward Kathryn.
🥬🍁🕰🪡🧵💖
Thank you Andrea ❤️
I love your Wild Horizons.
Modern quilting is something I've become more interested in over last few months.
Pure abstract art, quilt or otherwise, though I still getting to grips with.
Dear dear Kathryn, one day at a time. You have achieved so much already. Loved the walk through the woods. Your home looks cosy,warm and inviting. Take care ❤🇦🇺🦘🧵Margaret
I've found that the grief of loss is like walking across a plateau, saying ' I've got this ' one minute, then falling off the cliff into despair the next. Working through the ups and downs is a process managed hour by hour, day by day. It will get easier. I'm glad you've connected with your environment through eco-dying, the results are amazing. Your work is so beautiful! You've created a wonderful, warm, inviting home. The cheese crates are perfect as well. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Yes, it's almost a shock when you think it's ok and suddenly it's not. But as long as we can always scramble back up onto the plateau, it will be ok. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtalessometimes the scramble takes longer. That's when you hug your fur babies, go for a walk, and then pick up your cloth, needle and thread. ❤
Your home is a treasure. Thanks you for sharing
Hi! Many of us have been/are in the same boat…enjoy the memories that bring a smile, consider the ones that don’t and put them away for another time when you’re feeling stronger. At this moment you are experiencing a lot of ‘firsts’ first autumn morning waking up alone, first Xmas, new year, birthday etc., make plans for those days, please do not sit alone 🙏 you have so many friends here that love you ❤❤❤❤❤
That was wonderful. Enjoyed ever moment. Thank you
I'd love to have had you as a teacher in textiles. You've made some amazing art and pleasing to the eyes.
I love the little cottage vibe. Beautiful place 😍 💕 ❤️ ✨️
Thank you so much ❤️
Oof, I'll be watching this again to absorb all you've shared. Incredible work. I just want to say that you'll turn those surreal experiences into amazing new work once you get stuck in. I think a part of you knew you were going to need this village you started developing all those months ago. I'm humbled to be a tiny part of it.
Thank you, I am very grateful for this village ❤️
Ah the inner work begins at a new level. Once the painting of walls and the moving of furniture and pets is done.... now the inner work. My mum used to say what would be the point? (if if makes me feels sad etc) I had no words that would make sense to her. Thank you for speaking so beautifully and honestly about this. Massively helpful, I know you'll find your way through it, and there are so many of us so grateful for your sharing, and inspiration guidance and offerings of stitching too.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with is all. It was wonderful to see all of your works of artistry. Many hours of love and hand stitching. You’re a very talented woman!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Katherine I think you are doing brilliantly ☺️ new beginnings can be a long slow process and you will transition thru your grieving in your time. Thank you for all you continue to share with us and allow yourself much grace!
Wow Kathryn! I knew you were talented but my goodness seeing all your works has my jaw dropped on the floor! You are truly amazing! I especially love “That’s how the light gets in.” Wow! You’re doing such an amazing job moving forward…just want to say be gentle and gracious to yourself. If you need to grieve or cry or shout or sleep or whatever….thats okay too. We’ll always be here for when you are ready. God bless you and thanks for sharing the beauty of your home and the beauty of who you are!
Thank you Lisa ❤️
Your home is beautiful, lovely seeing all the beautiful art creations. So beautiful 😍
Life changes are a process. It takes time to come to terms with your new reality. I once read that you should honor your pace and it is ok to be sad and then ok and then excited about the new possibilities that you control and then sad about what was. Take your time and know that the best path is to walk through it all. Don’t try to rush it or circumvent it. I am 74 years old and have had my own life challenges. You are a wonderful person who deserves a wonderful life and I truly believe you will have that life. Above all, give yourself grace. With love
Thank you so much Bonnie ❤️
Absolutely love this video ❤ thank you for taking us along with you! Life does go on, I wish you every happiness 💞❤
wow! it is pretty amazing to see all of your work hanging up or displayed. i can't believe how much you've accomplished in your park home so quickly. as always, thank you for sharing your life so authentically with us Kathryn. i appreciate that so much. linda from california
I also went through my ups and downs as I adjusted to being single again. I think it's just part of the process. I was fortunate in that I had access to free counseling at the time, which helped me get through some of the rough patches. How fun to learn about the beautiful trees in your new woods and I always enjoy watching an eco-print unveiling. Your home looks so lovely with your beautiful quilts hanging among other treasured pieces. I love the photo of you and your Mom and the sketch of Sirius that your son made.♥
Thank you Jacqueline ❤️
Dear k3n you re in the midst of a really challenging process;sometimes just doing the next ten minutes at a time and carrying on breathing out and in is more than enough. Thankyou for all you ve shared .sending love and hugs xxx
Your artwork is exceptional, museum-worthy, imho. Thank you for the tour of home, hearth and hinterland. So nice to “travel” and see the world thru someone else’s eyes.
Grief is such a complex feeling. I think we get pressured (by others and ourselves) to “just get over it and move on”. Like there is some unspoken time frame in which we are allowed to grieve. But there isn’t and that is ok. You do you (as you always say). 😊 I appreciate and support you in all the ways you show up - happy, sad, giddy, wittering… it’s all you and it’s all good. On another note: I really LOVE “Park, Home, Life”. Thank you for sharing your lovely new home with us and the beautiful woodland there. Your wall hangings are stunning! And, thank you for all the clothtales - I love them too. Be well Kathryn. Love and hugs and peace. KimE
Thank you ♥️
Thank you for the tour. The eco printing is amazing!❤
Love the tour and seeing your fabulous art. Be easy with yourself. Time can help, or at least dull the sharper edges. With love n hugs from across the pond, Cyn in California USA. ❤
Wow! Your work is absolutely amazing. thank you for sharing. Your new home is lovely. Best of luck.
Love seeing all your work hung up! Thank you!
I love the way you've displayed your artwork. It almost feels like your home is hugging you and helping to heal and move on to whatever the future brings. Thank you for your honesty and inspiration. Jx ❤
Thank you that's a lovely thought ♥️
Such a wonderful video Kathryn..... walking with you and Stella, eco dyeing, and all of your amazing fiber art displayed in your cozy new home. Thank you for sharing all of it. And thank you for being honest about your feelings. As I have said before, I was in the same position after 22 years of marriage. Feelings will flow through you like the clouds move in the sky. You will feel all of the feelings: sadness, grief, anger, joy, frustration, and on and on it goes. I found that my feelings could change in a matter of seconds or minutes and sometimes a feeling would linger for a long time. All of your feelings are valid and important. Let them flow. The hills and valleys will be high and deep in these early days and eventually the difference in height between the hills and the valleys will lessen. And they will all become manageable. The important things is: don't stuff the difficult emotions down inside your soul.... that will make them fester. Let them flow, feel them and let them go..... {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Kathryn }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Thank you so much Susan, yes it does seem like the proverbial roller coaster at the moment, I prefer the gentle up and down of a carousel ❤️
The carousel will come in time. I promise :heart
It’s all good. Journaling and walking are failsafe therapies. Crying is also good because it’s exhausting so you can’t do it for long. I did this 27 years ago and again 3 years ago. The sense of failure is hard to shake, but there it is.
I also believe all memory is a fiction. It cannot be anything else. But they are your memories and therefore completely authentic. Just be - we are human beings, not human doings.
Thank you, wonderful words. About crying, I don't like to do it because it upsets Stella and makes me snotty and puffy eyed but sometimes it's unavoidable. My authentic memories and I am a human being, I will remember those two things especially, I will write them in my journal 🙏❤️
The stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, Guilt, and Numbness. You are exactly where you are meant to be, you don't have to name it......embrace your feelings and allow yourself the grace to grieve. You have a plethora of loss. The waves that wash over us are healing, calming, and rejuvenating sending you love and huggs during this time of loss. 🤗
I love your home and how you have surrounded yourself with your exquisite creations! Love the tutorial on eco printing....putting it on my list "to try". Thanks for sharing your life with this community!
It's a process that has its own time frame. Be kind to yourself ❤❤❤
Your home is lovely, thank you for the tour and showing your beautiful work hanging on the walls. I hadn't heard of eco printing, and want to try it. I recall that feeling of surreality, from 2 major losses, the world turned upside down. You are doing so well, putting one foot in front of the other. 🌞
Thank you, another ecoprinting video, on cotton and linen and paper coming on Wednesday ❤️
It was so lovely wandering through the woodland with you and Stella ❤ I can't believe how beautiful your eco print turned out. Loved seeing all your beautiful wall hangings - what a difference they make in creating a cosy welcoming nest. Ohhh the cheese crates are perfect for storage ❤❤
Hi, again, Kathryn. You kept me company this rainy and foggy Sunday afternoon, and I’ve been attentively listening to your words in the different videos. I strongly believe (from my own experience) that we must allow ourselves to grieve, to cry, to feel sad and angry and to feel disappointed and frustrated, as long as it takes, because if we don’t, those feelings get “stuck” within us and it’s much more difficult to get rid of them later.
Your house is turning into an amazing art gallery. I’m sure that with time you’ll feel it as a true home 💙💛🤎🩷❤️💜🩵💚🩶🧡♥️
A special hello 👋🏻 to Fredfred and Stella from me 😊
Hello again, I do know what you mean and I am letting myself feel sad and or angry, but in short bursts then I get up and do something. If I cry, Stella gets really upset. 😞 Fredfred doesn't care of course. 🙄😁 Lots of love to you Alexandra ❤️❤️❤️
Amazingly beautiful and vivid! Thank you so much for your sharing knowledge,feelings,love and skills! You are wonderful❤
Thank you 😊
First of all I just want to say how absolutely beautiful your work is and wonderful to see it making your new house your very personal home. Secondly, I loved going on a walk in the English wood with you , brought back so many happy childhood memories of playing in the woods and picking blackberries. Lastly, going through a break up after so many years takes a very long time to completely heal from and even after 21 years still little things trigger painful memories and surprise me as to how , after all this time I find tears welling up. So just to say it’s very natural to have good days and bad days and we are all here to support you and carry you when you need us.
Thank you so much Trisha, I know it will probably be with me for the rest of my life but I hope it will get easier ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales Yes, it most definitely will! and you will start to really enjoy the freedom of being a single woman and having time for everything you enjoy!
I so agree with Trisha. You will come to know the joy of being a single woman - able to create a life - on your own terms and in your own way - that makes you happy and content and fulfilled!!!!
Thank you for showing us your home. Your textile work is amazing and beautiful. It looks wonderful hanging about. And I love the cheese boxes! They will look fabulous. Have a great day and be gentle with yourself.
Thank you so much! 😊
I can’t add anything else to all the wise words this comment list, I love your work, your home and your adorable pets. I agree with one of the comments that all the physical work and the discovery of your surroundings has filled your mind, so that settling now gives your mind time to dwell. Embrace the mindfulness, recognise your feelings and thoughts and let them move away. Grief has no rules, it will just be. It will settle. Much love. Xx
Thank you Annie ♥️
I love your wooden shelves in the kitchen! A wonderful video of woods and all your works - wonderful. Cosy home
Your little house is turning into such a cozy home. I have really come to love watching your videos and you are so comforting. I hope we as your YT friends could be a comfort of even the tinymiest amount. Lots of love to you, Stella and Fred Fred. ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
I am in awe.
I absolutely adore your art quilts. They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your art with us. You are a multi-talented fibre artist and I am constantly amazed at what you do and have done. Sometimes I would love to live in a small space like yours. It looks very cosy and lovable. You have had an awful journey lately and I appreciate all that you shared. The eco dyeing is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Best wishes from Australia.❤
Thank you Pam ❤️
Enjoyed from beginning to end 🍁🌳🧡 Everything is going to be alright . Get stitching through the winter , keep warm and spring will soon come round again .Love all your beautiful artwork , you are truly gifted . Hugs Debbie x
Wow what a video! Your artwork is amazing. So beautiful. Thank you for teaching about leaf printing, I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks so much 😊
You're going through monumental changes Kathryn. You're entitled to be sad. You're doing everything right, just give yourself time to process all the changes and keep creating your beautiful art. Thank you for the stroll in the woods, and for the review of ecoprinting, and for another glimpse of your beautiful creations hanging on the walls. There is one with a title that reminded me of a song by Leonard Cohen, Anthem. One line says "there is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". Looking forward to your next video. Big virtual hug! ❤
Thank you Vivian, yes that piece is named after the Cohen song Anthem ♥️
It will be like a grieving process, it’s been a huge change in your life and your dreams for your future you once had. There will be a sea of emotions. You are essentially a positive person, but it’s important to acknowledge the hard emotions when they arise, and I’m sure others will watch your videos and find a lot of help in dealing with the unexpected twists and turns of fate. Your integrity and leap into a new life because the old was not the right path for you are inspirational. I hope your healing is gentle and the blessings keep coming your way.
Thank you so much, I do hope it's helpful for others. Because you all certainly help me ❤️❤️❤️
Your thoughts and feelings are so normal. I was married for 22 years and suddenly I wasn't so I know how it is. I'm in a better place now and you too will feel that way eventually. God bless you Kathryn❤
Thank you Karen ❤️
So lovely to see you in your woods collecting leaves for eco-printing. Thank you for the demonstration. And I love seeing all your art in your new home. I hope that sharing your very personal journey is helping you heal.
Thank you very much Kathryn your honesty you’re very early stage it’s never easy take time we are always bee with you And we love you
Thank you so much, it's really appreciated and makes me feel so supported 🙏❤️
You've been so busy for the last few weeks, with decorating, setting up home and travelling back and forward. All of a sudden everything has stopped and you have time to reflect. Please dont re-write history, your memories are valid. Thank you for making your videos, I do enjoy them.
Wow! What a trip!!! You are a clever lady with so much to share. We so appreciate your time. Thank you.
I didn't know cheese boxes were a thing! I love them!!!
Sending hugs. Gxx
Thank you Gail, to be honest, neither did I. I was looking for apple crates and I came across them on Facebook marketplace 😁❤️
I am just in awe with all of your lovely work and how cozy you have made your new home. I am in the process of preparing and packing for my annual migration to the southern states. Today, I think I will go out and gather a few leaves from all of my trees here and prepare them as you did and bury the cloth instead of boiling and see what nature gives me in return when I come back in May. Thanks for the guided tour of your home and woods.
That's a lovely idea, hope your trip goes well ❤️
I loved everything you did in this video - the walk with Stella, gathering the leaves, showing the eco-printing process, and especially your lovely masterpieces spread around throughout your cozy home!!!! I it all brought me so much joy and inspiration!!!! I hope your heart is lightened by the wonderful world you are creating for yourself!!! 💗
Dear Kathryn, grief passes, it just takes time. We’re allso happy to be with you and so appreciate your wonderful vlogs. I have learned so much. Thank you and bless you
Thank you for sharing, many of us are going threw the same. Wanted to send you a huge hug. Great to see you making cloth. Hope you use it in future projects😘
What a beautiful area, I enjoyed this walk in the woods. So sorry you are feeling out of sorts but that is understandable with all you have been dealing with. Thank you for opening up about your feelings with us, sometimes just talking is a big help. I love listening to you wittering. Have a blessed day.
I could feel the disjointed feelings from your out of sorts. You have been through enormous change, and I think you are so wise to begin little things like your eco print roll to anchor you to this new life. I almost cried at the respect you showed the trees and the wood. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I hope the journey becomes easier for you.
Such a beautiful home you’re making! I enjoyed your gallery.
I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling out of sorts. Moving house is traumatic enough let alone doing it on your own. I hope you will feel at home sooner rather than later. I loved seeing your eco-dyeing. What a beautiful result you achieved. I can't wait to see what you make with it. Your artwork around your home is beautiful and those cheese boxes are great. Wonderful video. Thank you 🌷
Loved seeing the new woods and all your beautiful stitchery art hanging on your walls. As for the surreal feeling, it’s to be expected at odd times. Some experts in processing emotions say to allow the wave of emotion to pass through you, feeling it fully then letting it pass out of you. I found that to be balderdash. Once I let it in, it tends to stay most unpleasantly. The one thing I do know after having some hard emotional times is that all things eventually pass, so you be you and get through it however you can! Know that you are cherished and supported by your stitching tribe. ❤
Thank you Mindy, yes I am better if I can distract myself I think ❤️
thank you for sharing your feelings, your walk through the wood and your home. It may be small but it looks really comfortable ad homely with your work and possessions
Thank you so much ♥️
Beautiful, Inspiring, Open, ... all weaved in ... I think you are amazing. 🤩
Thank you so much 🤗
After my husband passed away 8 years ago - I had similar feelings and emotions you express - although I will miss him terribly for the rest of my life - time does make things better - God Bless you ❤️❤️
Thank you Sharon, I am so sorry for your loss, hugs ❤️
Always happy to see you Stella and Fredfred! Sending lots of gentle positive waves of friendship❤
You're OK ❤ my heart feels for you. Huge emotional event. Be kind to yourself and remember you are allowed to feel sad and grieve your past life.
I loved this whole video, snuggling in my bed on a very wet Sunday morning. Your stroll in the woods, learning about leaf printing (so excited to try it out), discovering your amazing pieces of textile art 😲 and how you gave your new home so much personality 💚! And I love how real you are, many will identify with these emotions, it's so human to feel vulnerable in times of change, but you're some strong and inspiring woman ! Take care...one foot in front of the other.
Thank you 😊
You will need to grieve the loss of your relationship. Adrenaline got you this far, now you can sort things out in your own way , in your own time. Mixed emotions are ok. Grief is a part of life. You will find your way. Loved your video. Love from Texas!
Kathryn, your mish-mash is very cool. Thank you so much for sharing all that you did. I loved the walk in the woodlands and that you know the names of all the trees. That is so awesome. The eco-printing process was great. The reveal was the best part. When I saw your title and that is said you were turning you home into a gallery I was super excited to see your works displayed. I was very humbled to have my little piece shown. I love thinking about the journey it took to get to you. Thank you for the grand tour. I know you’re still getting settled in but what you have shown looks so homey and welcoming and cozy. You’ve done an excellent job of setting up a new home for yourself. You should be very proud of yourself. I wish you all the comfort your place portrays. 💜
Thank you Jenny, it gives me joy to see your piece hanging there and to think of its story ♥️
There are so many beautiful things in your new life, and you will thrive. Thank you so much for being human, and allowing us to be human too. 💕💕
So beautiful and lovely home 👍💖
Don’t forget “you do you “ go with how you feel but look after yourself it will get easier, what you are going through is a type of grief.
Your place is looking like home ,you have done a lot , & your art work is amazing btw. love the eco printing I’m going to have a go at that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️can’t wait to see what you make with the fabric you eco dyed ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your day and your feelings, time is a great healer, bless you🙏
I enjoyed walking in the woods with you and Stella. What a lovely place to breathe and relax.
I love the eco dying. It turned out beautifully. I have tried tea and rose petals with varied results 😅. Now I must try oak leaves and rose leaves. That is what I have in abundance. I typically mordant with diluted soymilk, as I'm lazy... can leave it to soak overnight and use the next morning. No math involved for WOF 😂.
Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home. It looks so cozy and snug ❤. And you are surrounded by all your beautiful art! So comforting.
Grief is a process with multiple steps. Know that God's mercies are new every morning, and He is with you, if you ask Him to be ❤. We all support you in your journey of healing. One day at a time 🤗💝🎶
Thank you Sheila, yes rose or most flowers don't really do much in my experience. ♥️
Thank you so much for a pleasant walk, a great tutorial, and a lovely tour of your new flat full of beautiful creatures and creations! Je pense bien à vous depuis la France ! May your new life be a blessing, in spite of the current heartbreak. Love 💕💕💕
Thank you so much Emma, I am getting there slowly. Much love , bises ❤️
Good morning Kathryn, surrounding ourselves with our own artwork brings such joy… not only for its beauty but to remember what we have done. Surrounded in colour, happiness and peace. 💕🪡🧵🎉🇨🇦
Very honest, I appreciate you sharing the complexity of your experience. Take care of yourself - Big Virtual Hug.
This is such a relaxing video Kathryn, I can’t identify many of the trees, but I have learnt a lot from this video, and will download the app you mentioned, thank you Kathryn.
Dear Kathryn - these events are monumental in our lives, and we do go through periods of self reflection. The "what if....". "why didn't I see....". "if I had behaved differently would it have made a difference?" It's a natural process, trying to make sense of events. The one thing I came to eventually understand is that I got lost in the relationship, that if I had behaved differently I would not have been true to myself. It's essential to always try to be yourself, that's what makes us strong . If I had behaved in a different way, accepted that I wasn't priority in my husband's life and acted accordingly then I would have been living a lie. We finally parted, it took a while to let the negativity go. A relationship that is no longer working is an unwelcome drain on emotions. Love and hugs to you Kathryn, you'll find your path for your new life. E❤.
Thank you Eileen, your story and mine are very similar, those are my feelings. And you are right, I couldn't have done differently and been true to myself ❤️
