A Mother's love

By Anonymous -
Me sitting on my Mum's knee in 1974. Mother's love illustration below
You know some times when you are walking through a beautiful forest and you come across a fallen tree and you notice how life has carried on around the tree? New things have grown in and around it, maybe some little creatures have made their home in it, it is still there but no longer standing as tall as it used to. Shelley and I (and our younger brother Myles) lost our Mum 6 years ago and this is how it feels sometimes. I miss the beautiful, strong, solid tree but I can see how it's presence is still felt and will be for a very, very long time. This image is about that, a mother's love is strong deep and wide.  Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers and Grandmothers out there. Paula xxx

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
