When life is difficult

Recently it's been a tough time for me personally and, more importantly, for my family. Afteer afew sleepless nights, talks with good friends and words of wisdom from my lovely son I decided I must channel my sorrow and fears.

So I screen printed some hare backgrounds which went wrong to start with but I perservered, printed some Hare in the snow prints

did some bad knitting (I really like it but can't do it evenly!) and ate jelly babies

started a new book 

looked after little William who spent much of the morning asleep on me - what a comfort.

I tidied my study -gosh, I can see the carpet!, framed myself a hare print -just for ME (part of looking after myself) 

I made my first cup of tea in my 1st mug design (selling well) 

All these simple pleasures over a few days helped me, as did Barney, grandson number 1 bringing me flowers he'd chosen himself 'to cheer Gaga up'. Wow, you had to smile at his wacky choice! 

How fortunate I am to have wonderful family and friends around me, including my dear son Will back safely in the UK, more of him next time.
