WOYWW - Buttons!

Not much room for anything else apart from buttons at the moment! 
I'm waiting for some jewellery wire for necklaces to arrive - it should be here tomorrow - but in the meantime I thought I'd try and choose the buttons.  There's just too many to choose and there are some more somewhere - I have a box with my "bestest" ones in but I can't find it at the mo.  Harumph!



I was trying a bt of distraction therapy really - I should have been writing a letter for the sympathy card on my desk but couldn't face it.  I just don't know what to write - in fact I don't even know if I should write.  I stopped to help at an RTA on Saturday evening and there was a fatality.  I'm a bit of a mess about it all - there wasn't much I could do more than hold their hand and comfort them whilst the emergency services arrived but should I write to the family to let them know that someone was there? - put their minds at rest.  But would that really help?  Am I doing it more for me than them?  I'm wondering whether writing stuff down would be cathartic.  I think I have to do it now or I'll possibly regret it but I don't even know where to send the letter to.  Making the card was a bit of therapy in itself. 

Sorry to end on a bit of a downer - lets hope I'll have some nice button jewellery and a sunnier outlook to share with you tomorrow.

  1. Wot a lot of buttons:-)

    Huge hugs to you - I would write everything down (it helps me), you can then decide on whether or not to send the letter later on - one step at a time.

    Thinking of you xxx

  3. A bit late to comment but if I'd been bereaved in that way I'd be glad to know that someone was there & cared enough to try to help. The Police will probably be able to advise on delivery or pass on for you if you decide to send. (Hugs) for you.
