my socks are pulled up ....well sort of

 I'm getting there .

I'm writing this with an ache in my heart

and a tear in my eye but I know it must be done .

My mum was always so proud of my creative pursuits

and whenever I was published she would

ask for a signed copy of the magazine ,

I still find that just beautiful .

So with my greatest supporter watching over me

I will create , love and smile again .

I have a big year ahead and I think it

will be good for me to get back to work .

Lots and lots of new stuff coming !

Thankyou so much for your kind words but

I'm sorry I didn't reply as at the time I really found

them very difficult to read .

Also thanks go to my special friends who

privately contacted me and offered their support .

Just don't be too surprised if you see a lot of green

in my projects this year as this was mums

favourite colour .
