I combined the magnificent Biggan's sketch with the Mother's Teapot challenge this week to bring some joy to a sweet young girl facing a year of chemo. You can read Abby's story here:
The Mother said we could have extra cookies if we wrote a ditty to finish the words on this week's inspiration pot. I'm all about extra cookies!
"Shoes were always calling me.
I had to own each pair I'd see.
Spiked pink heels and silver flats,
Tall black boots and satin spats,
Shoes with patent leather shine...
Only memories now are mine.
Shoes were always calling me,
But bunions now are all I see."
