Sew new so vintage
Hi, i'm Shona i am a middle aged single mum who has been so busy juggling work,family, home etc that i never took time to enjoy other things that bring me joy until recently, i have had a whole load of health problems for the last 5 yrs that doctors were unable to diagnose until around a year ago.i have now been diagnosed with some very debilitating conditions the main one being Fibromyalgia. the prospect of "no cure" has had a very bad affect on my mental health namely depression,but i am now on the road to kind of living a life again rather than just merely existing and this has been helped by actually having time to appreciate things that i just didn't have time for before. i have always had a love of antiques, particularly porcelain & furniture, i have a true passion for anything made from wood, i never cease to be amazed by peoples talent and am often left awe struck when i stumble across a facebook page or a web site belonging to someone who has turned a plain old wooden stick or a piece of wool into something totally wonderful. i have also found it greatly theraputic to my health to sit with a needle & thread when my illness permits and have befriended so many other people who have found that crafting is therapy.due to my health i am unable to make or repurpose enough items to make a living at it ,but this page is not really about that, it is more a place for me to share likes ,passions and ideas with other people who appreciate such joy in the the whole world of "shabby chic".i will be posting as often as my health permits & would love to hear from & or share pages of like minded people.thanks for stopping by & if you would like me to share your own pages drop me a message. xx
