When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 900th!

 Many many years ago I began sharing my crafty space with crafters from around the world when I discovered the fabulous WOYWW hosted by Julia every Wednesday. These days Sarah hosts over at Sarah Craft Shed 

So I've dusted off my blog & decided to join in for this anniversary. Those of you who know me know my life changed so tragically 2.5 years ago on 4th Feb 2024 when I lost my wonderful son, my only child, Keagan in a horse racing fall accident. He was doing what he loved & was literally living his dream. Since that day crafting & colouring have definitely helped me find ways to cope. 

I've looked for some photos to share of my time at the WOYWW crops. My favourite one was in 2015 when I celebrated my 40th birthday with everyone. Those there still remember my blue hair dyed ready for Wembley the following day when Keagan & I went to watch Bristol Rovers gain promotion!





And I had to share these photos taken at the first crop of me with Julia & Jan (LLJ).

And I thought I'd share my desk which is now a small table in front of my sofa where I spend my time colouring, doing these murder mystery puzzle books & trying new things such as trying Kumihimo & braiding to make collars for my 2 dogs. Not quite sussed it yet but of course they will be blue and white. 



I look forward to visiting all of your blogs over the next few days. It's lovely to reconnect with you WOYWWers for this 900th anniversary. 

I would like to finish this post by sharing a photo of Keagan. He was the one who told me to go to that first WOYWW crop way back & I'm so glad I listened to him. 



Take care Zoe x

I’m so so pleased that you’ve joined us today Zoe, it’s just lovely to see your name on the list again 🥰
It has been the hardest since since you lost Keagan, I’m glad that crafting, puzzles etc have helped you over the past two years. The braiding sounds really interesting, you’ll have to share some pictures so we can see. I love the photos of you with your blue hair, it makes me smile, I’m so very glad you came to those crops xx
Happy 900th WOYWW!
Hugs LLJ 5 xx
