Thou Art Thy Mother's Glass......

Thou art thy mother's glass and she, in thee, calls back the lovely April of her prime.






I finally managed to finish my mum's christmas present in time. Just!  It didn't turn out quite as I wanted it too, because I hadn't left myself enough time. That's something I'll remember in future. However, mum loved it; it made her cry. Mission accomplished!


Hope you all had a lovely day yesterday.

    Merry Christmas Jo! And thanks for your nice words ;-)

    By the way, I bought Rainey´s White Rabbit painting.... It´s hanging in our living room now! And I have to thank you for that as I found Rainey through you!

    Take care, Kirsten

  4. Thank you for the kind comments. Next year, every one's presents will be homemade. (Except the childrens; even I'm not brave enough for that. Mercenary little devils!)

    Kirsten, I'm so pleased you bought one of Rainey's paintings, it couldn't have gone to a better home.
