My friend James passed away at 5:01 am this morning. James was only 40. A heartbreaking day spent with Elaine and the rest of the family.
James was a great man who truly inspired all he knew with his courage and dignity whilst living with multiple brain tumours. James and Elaine were married a little over a year ago. It was one of the happiest weddings I have ever attended. James and I danced at the wedding and he had me promise that I would look after Elaine. He reminded me of my promise several times.
Today as I said my goodbyes to him I told him I hadn't forgotten and Elaine would always be looked after.
I'll miss you James. Rest peacefully.

Stashbusting
A very late post this week. My friend James had bad news on Wednesday and lots of time has been spent at the hospital. What should be a sad time hasn't been as there is so much love for James and Elaine.Lots more memories are being made. James strength is indescribable and I feel honoured to call him my friend.
So to the stash report. It's not good - surprise surprise but no room for guilt this week. When I'm sad I shop so the coming week will show lot of acquisitions.
Fabric used this week 1/4 yard
Fabric Used this year 13 3/4 yards
Fabric purchased this week 2 1/2 yards
Fabric purchased this year 23 yards
Net reduction +10 1/4 yards
The photo is of fabric from Spoonflower. Several of the girls at work are pregnant and it should be fun to use.

James
My friend James was diagnosed with brain tumours almost eighteen months ago. Since then he has had several surgeries, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and a wedding to the wonderful Elaine. It's a very aggressive type of cancer but he has defied the odds time and time again .
During this time I have learnt from him and Elaine that you need to find joy in the moment. One of the things he most wants is a puppy and I am not sure if that will happen. Today in the hospital grounds a very kind woman visiting her mother find time to share her puppy with James.
The look of joy on his face when he realised what was happening is a memory I will treasure forever.
