(for those of you who don't know, that's ta ta for now). I have decided to take a break from blogging for a while. I know that most of you think I already have as I am less and less frequent in my posts, and by taking an 'official' break I will feel less guilty about not leaving comments for everyone in response to all the lovely comments that you all leave for me.
I may be back at some point in the future, but having 2 children, a job, an allotment, a craft business, a dog, a house, and a sadly neglected husband, is taking up all my time and energy at the moment. I will still read my old favourites from time to time and may resume once life has calmed down more, but for the moment I have lost the blogging urge.
Thanks to everyone who has left me a comment - I really do appreciate all the kind messages, despite failing hugely to respond in kind.
So, maybe au revoir rather than goodbye,
Cathy XX
Good idea to take a break if that's how you feel. I more or less stopped over the summer and didn't think I would come back to it but I eventually did and am now more enthusiastic than ever so the break definitely did me good. Enjoy the break.

You know you are one of my favourites, right? So I will be leaving you on my bloglines list, just in case.
Will miss you,

I know how you feel, things can just be a bit too hectic sometimes, and blogging can be time consuming, I'm having the same trouble, but if you take an official break then it's one thing to feel less guilty about.
Will miss you though, your one of my favs.

Have a good break, and come back again when you fancy it. Sometimes you need to prioritise and blogging is something thatcan take the back burner. Hopefully we'll see you around soon xx

Hi Cathy, just popping in to let you know the lovely 'surprise' parcel arrived. It's fantastic and so very sweet. And absolutely a very good reminder that I must get my gifts made too! Thanks so much! The brooch immediately went to live in my daughter's room - adorable! Lx

Sorry for taking so long to say thank you for the little pressie you sent me the other week. It bought a smile to my face, after a stressful morning!

Have a good break ! I slowed right down in the summer and have resumed at a much more sedate pace, so i totally understand ! It can all get a bit much, can't it?
take care and see you later, if and when you are ready :) x

Hi Cathy:
I hope you are still checking these little messages. I hope all is well with you and yours.
I am going to start some painting soon and was wondering what colour you used for your kitchen door? That blue is gorgeous.
Thanks,
Lisa
