Hi

Just that really. I've just had my 5th miscarriage in just over 2 years.

Feeling understandable rubbish and have some amazon vouchers to spend.

I've got too many sewing books already.
My particular area is paper craft. I want something inspirational.

Any recommendations gratefully received Smile

TIA

I'm afraid this isn't my particular area of expertise, but I wanted to send very big hugs anyway. My sister had six and almost gave up, but she's now just up to the 8 month mark. Hang in there x

Thanks roadstwo. Luckily I have two gorgeous boys - my body has just decided to start killing my babies Sad Fab to hear about your sister - so glad she didn't give up xx

Trying to book called the state of it's got all sorts of things. Sorry to hear you are having a tough time.

I'm about to get some adult colouring books and proper grown up pens from Amazon. I'm hoping it will be cathartic - I love colouring in.

Sorry about your losses.

Sorry for your losses :( must be really tough x

Have you tried papercutting? It's so meditative and calming, might be just what you need. All you need is a cutting mat, sharp blade and good quality paper so it's very cheap to try out.

Here's a book with an inspiring cover, not sure if it's any good though!
