Bump!

The lovely, lovely sweetdustybones let me paint her beautiful pregnant bump today!

It almost didn't happen, we were going to be joined by Katie's mummy but circumstances conspired against us all meeting up (again! happened last year too!).

SUCH a lovely afternoon in the end though. I kind of don't really want to write a great deal about today, just because the pictures are the memory! They are so special they are going to get their own little blipfolio I think.


"Imagine yourself as a huge tree in the centre of your family. You are strong, stable and calm. Your children sometimes need to come to you in joy and excitement, sometimes in sadness, sometimes in rage. They may dance round you, collapse at your roots sobbing, or beat on your trunk with their fists. In each case your job is the same, to be a strong, safe, presence, who isn't buffeted or knocked over by their feelings. Your branches give them shelter and love, and a safe place to be in the intensity of their feelings, whatever they are."
