Bendigo have just released a gorgeous new yarn called Melody! A blend of merino, cashmere and microfibre and is going to be the most perfect substitute for Debbie Bliss cashmerino in so many of the Debbie Bliss patterns I love! It’s a fraction of the price and there are some lovely colours so I’m off to quickly find some patterns and work out how much I need.
I desperately need some cheering up and retail therapy after devastating news last night from my mum whose cancer has spread. She is so amazingly positive and upbeat and doesn’t want everyone crying for her but I’m afraid that’s all I want to do. So, I plan to get her some lovely new yarns in her favourite colours and keep her busy crocheting……those of you who pray I know will keep her in your prayers.
((Hugs)) Corrie.
Corrie, I am so sorry and sad to hear your Mum’s terrible news. She is in my thoughts. As are you.

Oh Corrie, I’m so sorry…I wish I were closer to take you out for a coffee, give you a hug, have a playdate and provide cupcakes. I can’t do any of that, but I feel like I know you through this gorgeous blog, and my heart just aches at the sad news.

Corrie, I’ve been reading your blog for about a year, and your outlook on life brightens my day. I am so sorry about your Mom’s news. I lost my mom 15 years ago to breast cancer and in May, I will celebrate my 5th year cancer free (breast cancer). I just wanted to send you lots of hugs and prayers from Texas.
I’m so sorry to hear your news, Corrie. Thinking of you and your family. Nic xxx

A tough message indeed!Take care!
Well that just sucks. Thinking of you, your mum and your mighty clan.
Prayers and hugs for your mum and for you. As a daughter of a mum with cancer, I know you need them too!
I’ll be looking for the Melody. I loved DB cashmerino!

Hi i’m a new follower and was touched by your post, i do pray and i will say one for your Mum. Lots of love to you all xxx
I’m praying for you all, especially your mum. I’m so very sorry to hear this news.
The new yarn does look so yummy that I could not resist either and had to buy some straight away – did not miss out.
With this yarn and some soothing crochet and her beautiful family with her, your Mum will do wonders. Thoughts, only good, going her way
I was pregnant with my second child when we found out my Mum’s breast cancer had spread to her lungs and sternum, so I have an idea of what you are going through. Have fun with your Mum, be gentle with yourself and accept all offers of help. Thinking of you and your family, and please don’t hesitate to email me if you want to talk.
dear corrie I’m very sorry to hear your news, i’ve been there so i do understand, stay strong and sending lots of positive vibes your way:) xx
