Crafty in the Med

I am here to enjoy meeting other bloggers and to share my love of craft ,mostly crochet, my thoughts and my daily happenings here in Alicante,Spain, my adopted country. I belong to a local choir because singing and music makes me happy. Flea markets and book shops are two of my favourite places to be. I read lots......sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I walk and walk and walk for about 10 months per year during the hot months I swim.

only hurt and thoughts!



There have been no posts from me recently and that's a fact!!!
I have been commenting here and there when I've had a minute which is rare but i didn't want to miss the enjoyment of blogging...I find I need it too! 
I did mention in my last post that I am inundated with work which is true I am but
...always a but right?   I'm also a bit upset lately and trying to get my feelings under control before posting a proper post . A couple of things in my life at present are making me very angry and also unhappy.I do want you to know I'm still here reading and enjoying your posts. I'll get things straight in my mind soon and will get the upper hand! I won't allow it to get the better of me!
I'm turning to crochet to help me sort my thoughts. Its helped many times in the past and hope it will once again :-)

Pausing but not going anywhere.

keep well

Amanda :-)

  9. Mrs, I know the feeling about not posting but reading. When you have things going on in your life it's hard to muster up the enthusiasm to witter about lovely things on the internet isn't it!? I know exactly how you feel, I also have a lot on my mind at the moment. I hope you get your stuff (nearly said a rudey word then) sorted and feel back on form as soon as.
