You have such a tender and loving heart and gave your daughter wings to fly. You and Stephie, should be so proud and I am sure that you are. You are a shining light. Always thinking of blessing to come to you. Makes me remember those days with my son, its never easy, but it shows you helped her open doors. Many blessings!
Rachel, your hat turned out really cute. The Ribbons just make it perfect. I know it's hard to let your little birdies fly (Lulu), but it gets easier with time, and lots of phone calls! Best wishes, Suzie
O Rachel - you are so so special! I am sorry if I made you cry - my heart is with you right now. How special mother/daughter relationships are - no matter what age! I think that's why I'm in the nest - I refuse to be an empty nester!!!! Lots and lots of love and gratitude. Can't wait to see you in December. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
Thankyou Rachel for your quiet relaxing way about you. You inspire me so much. I suffer SADD/S and this has helped me so much to get back into creating. My PTSD causes procrastination on top of that so it has really been a struggle to actually start and continue something, even though I love stitching. My current goal is to keep going with it. The fortnightly prompts are achievable for me so my goal is to finish this project. Loving yours and Sarah's. Please let youself get teary when you feel it. It will lessen as you get used to the new situation and you will find more things to fill the voids. I think your family video catchup is an awesome idea. I'm trying that myself with my son and his almost 3 year old little girl. Young people get so busy don't they? You will be fine soon.❤❤❤
Love your hat blowing in the wind and sending you big love as you’re adjusting to life without Lulu so close by physically but always close in spirit 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine xxx
Oh so sweet for my day. I too got all emotional. My grand baby said, no more lulu comming into the room talking to her mom. I'm sad NaNa...... I just love following you Rachel . There are so many things I want to say to you but.. .one day? Love this day watching you. Love from Idaho,̈ Julie ❤❤❤
Rach, my heart breaks for you missing Lulu. I promise you it does get better and you are teaching her how to be an independent woman. Just let the tears flow when they need to.
Sending you love Rachel 🩵 My daughter went off to uni last year in May, i cried a lot it was so hard. We face time nearly every day except when she is really busy with assignments & exams. I still miss my baby but it has gotten a little easier and i love end of year when uni closes during Christmas break. Also your stitched hat looks wonderful x
Love the hat - it looks so appropriate in the field! If you ever decide to do another hat I am wondering what it might look like with a weaving stitch. I am guessing it would be easier if the design was bigger, but just trying to imagine that stitch. Just a thought. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Rachel. Your work is so inspirational, thank you. Nicki Franklin (The Stitchery) has done a lovely embroidered straw hat ( it was called ' out of office' and part of ' Making Zen' 2024). I hope you can find it! Judi x

Hi Rachel - question, did you do a vid about tag/pockets hinged using safety pins?
I'm not sure as I don't remember safety pins.
Your hat is so very beautiful, what a artist you are the best.
Thanks so much 🥰
Hi Rachel, have been thinking of you and Lulu 😢❤❤
Thanks so much 🥰
Will you have more Field notes fabric in your Etsy shop at a later date?
Yes later next week. Thank you so much ☺️
It’s so hard when they leave home. I felt like I was set adrift. It’s gets better Rach. You just have to keep busy until it does get better. ❤️🩹 😢
Thank you 😊
