I had no idea this morning, that today is Wednesday.
If you are my friend on Facebook, you will know that only 9 weeks after losing Dad we are having to say goodbye to Mum too.
Very sadly, she passed away on Sunday evening after a few days in hospital.
This rose is called "My Lovely Mum":
I am devastated.
~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway I am
linking this post to the Stamping Ground.
Here's my desk picture for WOYWW 593!
I did another workshop with Niamh the other day and produced this:
What else? Like Zsuzsa, I have been doing the fortnight of Life Book 2021 Taster Sessions.
Out of 32 lessons I have managed 26, but I have rather lost heart now so not sure that I will do the final 6.
The sessions have been very varied and involved lots of things I haven't done before.
I will just share a few examples.
Anyway, that's all for today - Have a happy WOYWW!
I JUST started watching some of Naimh's videos the other day. She has some lovely ideas and your pages are real stunners. I didn't know she did workshops as well. I always learn so much on WOYWW day!
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear of you double loss, so close together. Be strong. It must hurt like hell but gather strength and support wherever you can.

DeleteOh SUsan, how sad I am for you, I’m so very sorry to read of your dear Mum’s passing. So much to deal with gal. Take your time, reach out if you need to and be sustained by happy memories. Your pages are amazing Susan, and even if you have no mood for it now, I’m pretty sure you’ll be ready to revisit the current workshop at some point.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your loss - such a sad year for you. Your artwork is lovely and is just one small way to keep you busy and focussed on the positive things in life. Sending a big WOYWW hug. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your loss - both of them. How very sad for you but obviously mum wanted to be with her life partner so please try to take some comfort from that.
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork, may your art help you heal. God Bless.
Stay safe and well, Hugs, Neet 14 xx

ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself Tracey 11x
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. At least your parents are together now. Sending love and sympathy Angela #29
ReplyDeleteOh Susan, I’m sorry to hear about your parents. It is so hard to let go of our parents, but they lived a long life and I’m sure a wonderful one. Big hugs to you. I am also participating in the Life Book taster sessions. Wow, they are so great. It is hard to keep up with them so I was glad when she extended them. Such fun! Dorlene #30
ReplyDeleteSO sorry for your loss Susan. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteDear Susan, I think that’s so hard losing the two so close together. It’s the suddenness of the loss that makes it so hard, that’s how it was with both my darling mum (I’d cared for her for 16 years) and dad, but they weren’t nine weeks apart. Sending giant prayer hugs your way! Miss them both incredibly.
ReplyDeleteLovely work you’ve done, maybe doing one more the one you like best of six yet to do may bring you comfort. Love the beautiful yellow rose... lovely memory connection. Praying for you and your dear ones. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing, and God bless, Shaz in Oz.x #6

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. What a rough year you've had. Your projects are terrific, I hope you'll continue as it's a good way to get out of your head and heal your heart. Be kind to yourself and get lot's of rest too ~ Blessings to you
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your mum, Susan, and so soon after your dad, too. I'm not surprised you are losing heart a bit over the art project. Your pieces are all so beautiful.

I'm late this week as I was out in the garden all day yesterday and so on catch up today. I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I know how you must be feeling as I lost my dad in April but so far my mum's doing okay now. Good job we have our crafting to keep us busy. Wishing you a very happy belated woyww, Angela x19x
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your tremendous loss. So very sad for you and your family. Take care.
