Sunshine flower

I have had such a busy 2 weeks that I have almost no time to make it into my studio. I have been moving my MIL from her apartment to a new retirement complex where there is the support she needs, and companionship and community. She has both Parkinsons (the freezing kind - she has difficulty swallowing, walking and using her right side) and Osteoporosis (her spine is collapsing). As my mother says, "You need courage to grow old".

So I was happy to make it into my studio this afternoon ... even if it meant that I was missing the tennis semi-final between Nadal and Berdych!


I was inspired by the Fusion challenge (both the sketch and photo)


I will also enter this to the Just us Girls : Embossing Challenge
