I went back to work in September and things have been busy, priorities have changed and time is precious....I have less time for blog land and feel the need to use my time in the real world more..... Blog land has certainly changed and has turned into another commercialised outlet, which is a pity......it is unfortunate that it is precisely blogs like yours that keep blog land real the ones that are beginning to disappear or are questioning themselves.... <br />You have been a great crafty inspiration and your photos have always been beautiful. You will certainly be missed but I will follow your crafty endeavours on ravelry and pinterest as usual.... <br />I wish you the very best for the future and hopefully see you on the cyberspace soon......

I've seen a star with mini light bulbs in one of your pictures and I want to buy one for my mum's new house/life; do you remember where you got it?

Thank you...Oh you have made me laugh out loud!!!!!! Thank you for appreciating my words, I just wish I did as well!!!!!!<br /><br />Oh man, I think I am having a REALLY unhealthy relationship with seed lights. I've never seen lights so cool. They are almost invisible little dudes that give of a neat little glow; and the wire just wraps up in a ball so you can just put them into any kind of position. So much more flexible that light strands. It'll be a running joke in my house soon! xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-66589912351518812882015-12-11T12:11:17.574+00:002015-12-11T12:11:17.574+00:00Thank you so much for your comments Helen.I just f...Thank you so much for your comments Helen.I just feel like I am a very repetitive here in blog land. I have less time on my hands these days and I just didn't feel like my words really were worth anything. I knew that if I was honest with myself, when looking back at my blog here, I'd be skipping over my written word and just reminding myself through my pictures. Ever since my blog has been up, there has been a battle raging in my head with my need for privacy and invisibility, and my love of connecting with the crafting community. I guess the need for invisibility is winning at the moment. I thought that if I just took a really long break, then blogging (changing so much as it is) would not really be here, if and when, I decided to return. So it seemed like the obvious solution just to say a final goodbye really. Who knows, Maybe I'll feel the need to come out of hybernation and say hello one day again, but for now, I think invisibility on here is just what the doctor ordered! xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-78782111039711507922015-12-11T12:04:23.611+00:002015-12-11T12:04:23.611+00:00Ha ha...you remembered!

I realised that I have NEVER re-read any of my posts. It's almost like hearing your voice played back. It never sounds like you and it's always a bit cringy! I just suddenly thought, 'so why am I doing this?'. I thought if I still had a place to take pictures and record my creative makes, then it sort of felt like this was a redundant space. I feel like I just need to become invisible again. Whilst, at the place that I am, I think saying goodbye would be a permanent thing, maybe you never know, years down the line if blogging was still here, I would feel like popping by and saying hello. Never say never, but not for the forseeable future xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-91025569980336036882015-12-11T11:55:20.562+00:002015-12-11T11:55:20.562+00:00Thank Gem, The smell of the cones dissipates once ...Thank Gem, The smell of the cones dissipates once they are in the house, but I do keep getting lovely wafts of cinnamon as I pass the tree which is heavenly! xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-25278381647603907262015-12-11T11:54:19.725+00:002015-12-11T11:54:19.725+00:00Thank you Alina xThank you Alina xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-17235401728506233712015-12-11T11:54:06.830+00:002015-12-11T11:54:06.830+00:00Awe thank you Sylvie xAwe thank you Sylvie xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-83450365870096157572015-12-11T11:08:15.049+00:002015-12-11T11:08:15.049+00:00Hi Angela,

I just had to wait all year to get it up and running! <br /><br />I am infatuated with the seed lights at the moment! I think my house will be twinkly all year round! The Bear's love them also, so that's a bit of a blessing! ha ha!<br /><br />I LOVE your faux gingerbread house....such a cool idea. I might have to nab that! I was thinking of making some out of clay and then making some dome or snow globe thingys out of them! Not quite sure yet, but the thoughts are rumbling around in the mess of a jumble I call my brain!!!! xCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-8935952336319371512015-12-11T06:49:35.175+00:002015-12-11T06:49:35.175+00:00Just stay, Vanessa!

I know I can see your photos on Flickr, but it's not the same, without the words and stories.<br />I am a convert to those seed lights; haven't seen any for sale, so must look harder! I have some cute little battery-operated strands which I love, but those teeny-tiny lights are wonderful. Well, they are when they're in your home. Not sure I could make them look as pretty.<br />ZxxPennyblossomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388493778279660511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-78296562025086809342015-12-10T22:11:32.330+00:002015-12-10T22:11:32.330+00:00Oh I never get time to comment but I just have to ...Oh I never get time to comment but I just have to this time. I know you have made your decision but I'd love to ask you not to stop. You and Attic24 were the 1st blogs I ever found and the only ones that I still go to. Yours is the only one I'm subscribed to. You and Lucy were the ones who inspired me to learn to crochet 4 and a half years ago when my little boy was just 6 months old. I love your style. Your ramblings about every day life. You inspire me all the time whether with craft or home decorating (I absolutely adore your home photos) or cooking. I know you've decided to stop but I will really miss you. I always look forward to seeing you in my email inbox, there is something warm and comforting about looking at your beautiful photos and reading your lovely words. I'm secretly hoping that you will miss it next year, even if you posted once a season I would love that.<br /><br />Take care of yourself and be true to you.<br /><br />Helen x<br />Helen (Belmont Yarns)http://belmontyarns.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-88177259410291971662015-12-10T20:56:50.666+00:002015-12-10T20:56:50.666+00:00Your advent calendar is wonderful!!

Now, don't think that this is creepy, but I remember that earlier in the year you said that you had a plan for all the little jars that you showed in one post, I remembered that recently and thought, I wonder if she ever did anything with those jars!

Me and a friend of mine make adventcalendars for each other every year with small gifts. It has become a tradition by now I guess...I Think we have been making them for at least 10 years....and its really fun.Its fun to get a little gift every day but maybe its even more fun to wrap all the (often) small gifts in differet christmas giftwraps/papers!<br />And of course I make one for my daughter too! Like you say I Think it may be easier to make it for a little girl but like you wrote, a calendar with lego would be a great idea for a little boy. I try to get little things over the year but this year I was out and about in " tha last second" trying to fing something.....<br />Those pinecones look vey Bright and cheery! The smell of hyacinths lingers in the air at our house too. Love it!

Yours is the only blog I read nowadays and with you deciding to make December your last blogging month actually makes it my last blog reading month! (does that even make sense ?!). Just want to say a massive THANK YOU for writing this blog, It's made me smile, pushed me into crochet gear, brought tears to my eyes.
