Sewing Kit

When my whole world was aching and things started to fall apart there’s one place I’d go for solace to let the mending start With an opened box before us me on the floor, Grandma above Her, fixing, stitching and healing with her needles and with love Trays full of bits and bobs in all the colours I adored everything I’d ever need forContinue reading “Sewing Kit”

Lachlan (with audio)
