Today I write what is very likely my last blog post. I sincerely hope to start blogging again at some point but for now I need to take a break for health reasons.
This post also has photos of some of my real favourites that are worn and worn again. Some very old now, some newer. At least as I reach this point I can say I have made some really nice clothing and you never know if I can get my current health issues under control then maybe I can start to sew again - and blog about it. I expect I will still sew some things but its not any longer enough to be running a blog though you never know if I manage a nice top or pair of trousers I may still let you know about it even if it is this time next year.
As I have got older though so it has become more and more difficult to sew. Some days I cannot use my hands at all, let alone pick up a sewing pin and pin something together. So my sewing rate has slowed to an almost stop on the last two years.
But I knit very slowly so for example on a sock I might do less than one round in a day so it would not be a viable option for blogging. I think a pair of socks every three to nine months (or even longer!) would not be worth a blog post.
I have sewed obsessively since 2014 and blogged about my sewing on a regular basis since 2015. And I have loved being part of the sewing blogger community. I have loved wearing my me mades as well as writing the blog posts about them.
Many of the things I made are still loved and worn. But sadly, due to having developed a form of degenerative arthritus I need to stop the sewing and therefore I no longer have the reason to run this particular blog.
I do not yet know if I will start to write on a different blog. Currently writing is also a problem.This is because I am also struggling to type or even to use a mouse.

I also now have serious problems typing and using a mouse. My hands simply no longer do what I expect.
Interestingly my knitting has actually improved because I found out that knitting works a bit like physiotherapy.

So I sadly say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog. Thank you for your kind and helpful comments over the years. I will miss blogging most definitely but due to my health issues it is now time to stop.
Wishing you all good fortune and great happiness.
Take care
Bracken.
