Catch up and a sneak peak...

I have been away for a few days tending to Minnie Mouse...
Carving big orange vegetables...
It's been many years since I foraged out into suburban neighbourhoods
with a small hand in mine, dodging Spiderman and fending off lions
and bears. Although it's quite a ways from us including a ferry ride,
I take on these challenges of stepping in where my sister can't anymore with bittersweet feelings.
My trips back home are a tad heavy with feelings of loss still,
 but also and always with a great sense of love for these girls.
But now it's home again and back working on a bit of an involved piece for Etsy.
Just a sneak peak for now...
Have a great weekend all.
Hug who you love.
