Both of my parents passed away last fall - it's been a very strange time. Dad had a collection of beautiful old woodworking and leather tools - some were his father's and I suspect a few belonged to a favourite great uncle. But now that he's gone and they're gone there's nobody to ask or confirm - made me cry when I saw them again - I remember my Grandfather using these tools. So now they're my responsibility for a while...
Ya, I've missed a few days in the last week - no excuses. To be honest, not sure anyone's looking anyway, but commitment is commitment so just pick up where I left off - kind of like dieting - you fall off the wagon and the only thing to do is get back on as soon as possible.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm following your blog Donna and enjoying it very much. This post made me immediately picture Grandpa working with these tools. Know that we're thinking of you and sending you love and strength. Janet.

Thanks so much Janet! (I think my 9-year-old whiny alter-ego wrote that last blog entry... )

Haha! We're all allowed to let our whiny 9-year-old out of her room once in a while. Very much looking forward to more drawings.
