Creating Cups

It’s Mother’s Day…a day of making moments or memories…today I’ll be doing both…

I was fortunate enough to bring one of my Cups home on ‘Mothering Sunday’, 17 years ago..Gary had bought me Moulin Rouge the movie on DVD…(what’s a DVD?) as my present, I adore the movie..

Memory of Dishwashing Family

Each time I’ve brought one of the Cups home I’ve been filled with wonder, wishes and a willingness for them to have a life which is healthy, joyful and full of fun…

Yesterday evening around 9:30pm we were all sitting at our kitchen table, we had all drifted in at various moments…Alex first with her colouring book and her pencils in order…George after scouring FB and the net for a ‘go-cart’ to engineer as a project during his new found moments at home, and Niks after her work out on the rowing Erg…

As we sat and chatted about keeping ourselves safe, routines for keeping our wellness working…colouring, exercise, reading, school work etc…I smiled inside to myself..

I love Cups I’ve collected them from a young age..they hang in my house, they sit on my shelves and I have a varied eclectic collection…and so it is with my ‘Own Cups Alex, Niks and George’, they were crafted by Gary and myself, I carried them in my body, love and life have moulded them each into their crafty unique individual designs..with their quirks and persona…I did remark recently to a friend that I know their design now has a ‘harder outer shell’…we all have…but that’s no bad thing it’s called resilence…

Each of my Cups brings to my ‘Cup of life’ an energy that is uniquely theirs…they are my greatest creativity and I will continue to hold them as mum…just as my own mum continues to hold me…Happy Mother’s day to all you beautiful females who are mum in various guises…we’ve got this xox
