Tracy, this letter grabbed me by the heart as I read it on Mothers Day, a day that beyond the Hallmark platitudes is hard. The best intentioned friends filled my inbox and my text message folder with flowers and hearts and Happy Mothers Day wishes whilst I hid in the garden and my art studio. It feels ungracious to not join in but it would be hypocritical if I did. So, I didn’t and now it’s almost over.
I will look forward to seeing what you create and as always your next letter.
Love this Tracy! My mother and sister made my first wedding dress and like yours, it was a two piece. I held onto that dress (top and skirt) for more years than I should, certainly long after the marriage lasted until in a fit of ‘why do I have all this crap’ , I tossed it out last year. I dare say I may regret it one of these years as I know I have regretted tossing all my other clothes I made. Huzza to the stitching!
Beautiful, Tracy! I love the idea of this artwork.
