Bespoke Memories

This liddle guy(1 of 2 lol) is Derek, my furchiatrist,nightduty 3 of 3 in my real life was a little hectic… he showed up and was waiting for me in ‘his’ office when I got home yesterday morning to offload. I’m regrounded and cannot wait to start up my sewing machine this morning and download my head and heart in my calm small home business life 🩷.

Your name still catches
in my throat sometimes.
I say it quietly at the lake
when nobody else is near.

The grass feels damp
through the knees of my jeans,
and the wind keeps lifting
the edge of my sleeve.

You used to tell stories slowly,
saving the best parts
until everyone leaned closer
without realizing it.

So I keep telling them now.
I repeat your small habits,
the way you stirred coffee,
the way you hummed while driving.

Your name is a smooth stone
warmed by years in a pocket,
changed by being carried
but never worn away.

Still yours.
The water darkens at sunset.
I say your name once more.
The shore does not answer.

I had the absolute honour of creating this special bear for a beautiful family in memory of their very much missed mum, wife and grandma. Handover day was emotional and lots of support and hugs given. The beautiful message I received melted my heart. I am truly grateful that they chose my little business to make their memory bear. Threads of memories, sewn with love and compassion giving you a sensory memory to hold once again💜💜

Something exciting happened, I have some thing to tell you… I go to call my mum then remember she is no longer here and my heart sinks. 13 years my mum went to her forever sleep and still I go to my phone to give her a call to tell her news, to ask advice to chat and end up unable to breathe because we laughed so hard. Wanting to tell her that I love her and then I can’t really hurts my heart. She made me the strong and caring woman that I am today. Thankyou little mama for passing on your knowledge, your wicked amazing sense of humour and teaching the little me to sew. I hope you are proud of me🩷

A butterfly rests delicately upon an outstretched finger,
fragile and fleeting beneath the muted sky.
The moment feels quiet,
almost like reaching for someone who is no longer there.

One of the deepest pains of loss
is the silence that follows it.

No more late-night conversations.
No more hearing their voice.
No more telling them about your day
or sharing the little moments that once felt automatic.

Grief often lives inside unfinished conversations.
Inside words left unsaid.
Inside the longing to speak to someone
who can no longer answer back.

And sometimes, that silence
becomes one of the hardest parts to carry.

Yet love still speaks in other ways—
through memories, signs, dreams, and moments
when their presence feels near despite the distance.

Because even when conversation ends here,
connection does not always disappear from the heart.

Bear handover day is always emotional for myself and also my gorgeous clients 💞… even more so today. I met two amazing beautiful humans who just melted my heart. It is such an incredible honour to be entrusted with loved ones precious clothing to make into such sentimental memory bears. As a critical care nurse who absolutely loves her job, this extra special little business of mine means the world to me as I can help other families that I haven’t met in such a meaningful way. The connection we create upon meeting is as if I’ve cared for their loved one and I’m literally making that one last beautiful lasting memory.
This is another part of my love and care to help families in their grief, to have something to hold,to reminisce, to remember. Thank you for trusting me with something so deeply personal. I never take that privilege lightly xx
