this time last year

This time last year my family gathered together

and said goodbye to our Mum .

It feels like so long ago.

It feels like yesterday.

We have all missed her every day since.

Love you Mum xxx

wrapping myself in love this Christmas

This year has been a difficult one and as Christmas

draws closer as I have been thinking more and more

about my dear Mum .

I have been hanging on to some of her nighties that she

gave me last year as she wanted

 the sleeves shortened on them.

I never did get to do them for her.

So I have decided to cut them up and make myself

a small quilt out of them as a Christmas present from her.

Yes some of the squares that I have cut

 have tea stains on them.

No I will not be trying to get these small stains out.

Mum will understand xxx

Happy Birthday Mum

Happy Birthday Mum !

Miss you x

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 .

 

tears

With all your life before you.

And all is good and true .

Ah girl ! The days are glorious .

When all the world is new .

My dear mother passed away this week .

I have cried a million tears .

I know there are more than a million to come .

I will be back when I'm coping a bit .

I love you mum xxxx
