broken and restored

The last piece on the workshop table happened to be •breathe• ❤️
Perfectly fitting.

Things are changing AGAIN for my little family, and we are embarking on a whole new adventure, one that is terrifyingly vulnerable, exciting and full of hope. It looks like being seen and held, of loving and being loved, and the possibility of a future I didn't even dare dream of. A healing of wounds so deep I thought they were forever.

It does mean that I need to close up the workshop for a wee bit. So, we are now closed to custom orders. I'll still be around, - I've made enough blank signs I can paint to my heart's content till I make it back into the workshop, and will be able to have holidays in my workshop 😜

Our website is still up, but the payment part is down. So, if you are still wanting to buy any of our existing stock shown online, message me here 😁

This life sure is one full of surprises!

This mother's day we have something special happening!

Our best selling soap gift packs (which have our handmade cotton washcloths) have always been a fave for our Newy friends. This mother's day for each one purchased, we are going to gift one to a mother in our community ❤️

Sending love to a mum doing it tough this year, while doing your mother's day shopping, sounds pretty good to us!

DM me if you would like to secure one of these ❤️

This one is for the lovers today.

This piece is *almost* finished and ready to go to someone special ❤️

Being a day I have just avoided for years, suddenly it's beautiful again.

Love does that, hey ☺️

What a year.

Looking back, I've had a lot less time in the workshop this year, and even less time on social media. I grappled with anxiety for a few months, and enjoyed time away with family. I've learnt to listen to my body, to trust the ebb and flow of lifes rhythms, and to try and let things go. I've lost loved ones, reconnected with family, and found peace and hope in nature.

Broken and Restored has been able to continue providing funds for LIVEfree Project, who have absolutely been able to help countless people this year throughout Newcastle.

I have fallen completely in love (much to my surprise) with the kindest most caring man, who is showing me what true love looks like. I am looking forward to what the new year brings. ❤️

So, may the new year bring you peace, happiness and joy, and may any brokenness be restored.

Kerrie 😘
