    Thanks for this Marta! I survived a trip to my mom’s and my kids leaving to spend the night with their dad, and this piece helped.

    Simply gorgeous. What an amazing woman your mother was. Her art makes it very easy to see from whence your many unique talents came.

    Merry Christmas, Marta.

    Thank you writtenwyrdd and rowena.

    Sarah, you’re welcome. It just goes to show that one never knows how something will be received when you send into the world. Hope you’re day was good. Happy Holidays.

    Sophie, thank you. I always hope that I’ve got something of my mother’s talent. Just a sliver would make me happy (though I’m greedy and want more.)

    That is AMAZING. (And also, it seems to me, for some reason a little heartbreaking.)
