Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support. It means a huge amount. My Gran is still clutching onto the last worn out silk threads of her life.
My wonderful friend B over at
Sweetlimes and I are into our second year of monthly swaps. Above my little swap to her and below the wonderful Babushka and inspirational card that she sent to me for March. I think I'm right in saying that Babushka is Russian for Grandmother. Strange how our swap this month seems to be so poignant... We have a special bond with our Grand-parents that is totally different than the one we have with our Parents. Good Parents like Good Grand-Parents and Good Friends are a gift. . .
I'm sharing this with everyone at
Sunday Sketches... "A little fun and nonsense are like little rays of sunshine when the world seems to be a sad place to be sometimes..." xx

I'm sorry to read the news about your Grandmother. It sounds like you have many happy memories to treasure.
These are beautiful pieces of art - and as you say, rather poingnant too.
I'm just loving your past and present art, Catharine. Oh so sweet and gentle. Touching.
And sorry to hear of your gran. Lifting you up from here as much as possible. Hugs
Hello Catherine, there is indeed hope and light in your art. I love your poupée russe, I love these dolls. Grans are so special, she'll always be strong in your heart, hugs to you!
oh! your art is amazing!!! nice to meet you!!!
i have just liked your page on face book!!!
These are both wonderful. I love the message in the card you created and way the wording looks, too. I also love your friend's babushka card. Adorable!
And I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother's health. I remember going through that with my grandmother and no matter what age someone else it's still hard.
I' m glad to find you! Good artwork! kisses.
Awesome! Love your work. Sending good thoughts prayers!
'the worn silk threads of her life' is a heart felt image, it sounds like she has been a great blessing and a great love. Hugs to her, hugs to you. I love the red pig tails on your girlie.
Catherine, I just lost my Mom and I was lucky to be there with her, so I know what you must be going through with seeing your grandmother slip away. Hugs to you and your family.
