In memory of Harry aka Kitten aka moodle bear aka rainbow princess RIP my beautiful baby boy
It's been a while, been very busy with Hong Kong and then straight back to Tafe at the new campus which is amazing! Even though there's not as much room and it takes me an hour on the bus to and from, i do love it. So Hong Kong was amazing - didn't find any fabric for my collection, but it was an amazing experience to see the garment factories and to see the streets lined with countless fabric shops.
I have been back at tafe for 2 and a half weeks now and have just hit a rather horrible bump in the road. I've been dealt the blow of losing my Beautiful boxer dog, who was also my best friend. He came home from the vet monday with a possible brain tumour and by tuesday he could barely stand. Wednesday afternoon - 04/08/2010, we decided to put him to sleep and send him to doggy heaven. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with and I just can't seem to concentrate on my collection at the moment, as hard as I try. This blog is about the progress of my collection, so the loss of my darling Harry does provide relevance. He was the biggest and the most gorgeous personality I have ever known and my life without him is going to be so colourless. He would always sit behind me on my bed in my room whenever I was sewing, just watching me. He would also sit on the couch staring at me when I was doing patterns or cutting in the family room.
Back to my collection for a moment... Over the first two weeks back at tafe, I've managed to complete all of my patterns and they are ready to be toiled up. I'm going to try and do atleast one toile this afternoon, if I can stop myself from crying for long enough. I know he is watching over me and he'd want me to be happy, So I will do it for him.
I've decided to dedicate my graduation collection to my little boy, who passed on the 04/08/2010 - the biggest personality I have ever known. Such a beautiful heart and soul. You always knew when something was wrong. You lay with me for the many months that I was very ill. You always knew how to comfort us by climbing up on the couch and giving us a big wet, sloppy kiss. Your "talking" provided us with hours upon hours of joy and laughter. You have touched so many lives and you will be so very sadly missed by everyone who knew you my little kitten boy xxx
I will leave you with some pictures of my beautiful Harry Baby - my Inspiration in life.
