And point your toes....

My mum.....

I began to think about how much my mum would have loved Life Book. I forget how arty she was and have very early memories of her sitting and painting with me or making toys and dolls clothes.
I decided to dig out an old photo and have a go at a portrait. I always seem to picture her getting ready for parties in floaty 60's trapeze dresses in peach or sugar pink. She had lots of hair pieces and always looked glamorous. And oh how she loved to dance. There was always music in our house....
I had to include 5,6,7,8 as she counted us in and her favourite groan 'point your toes!' I had all the grace of a baby elephant.
