Thank you! I might have a broken foot but my mosaic mind is overflowing with new mosaic techniques and future mosaic workshops!
Dave and I wish to thank profusely everyone who has phoned, visited, sent cards, flowers etc during my foot injury and recovery time.
The staff at the Greenslopes Private Hospital were so kind, professional and caring and my Orthapedic Surgeon is brilliant and second to none and I am forever grateful to him and the Greenslopes Emergency Dept for their prompt diagnosis of my rare Lisfrant foot injury. No, my injury was 100% NOT related to any of mosaic mosaic activities!
I am slowly recovering and can't wait to start workshops again and client commissions as soon as I am releasede from PT and treatment, surgeries etc.
I am finding that patience is indeed a virtue and a loving husband by my side is beyond amazing.
Mosaics in indeed therapy as we have all known since the first time we held a pair of Leponitt Mosaic Wheeled nipper tools in our hand!
I haven't been down in my studio, but Dave has been working so very hard trying to keep things going and been flat out with processing online orders (thank you all so much!) and attending to visiting students, clients, customers and artists. I miss seeing all my mosaic mates so much and will be organising a MAANZ meetup as soon as I am able and running workshops again.
I have been busy working on The MOS! (The Mosaic Online School) as much as my foot will enable me - very short time frames, as my foot has to be elevated so often for swelling and pain. However, I am in a rather big moon boot and slowly doing some PT exercises and short hobbling along with a wheelie walker.
My family, friends and my wonderful mosaicing mum are just incredible, cheering me on and cheering me up as needed. My dear sister Julie, you are my absolute inspiration and I love you dearly. My grandsons are so precious and they entertain me in the funniest of ways. I might be missing out on some mosaic things but certainly my heart is full of love. Won't be soon until my hands are full of mosaics!
To those of you out there who are facing difficulties I send you loving and warm hugs. I can't thank my friends and family enough and hope to make it up to you all very soon. Dave, you are my hero. I hope all my students and mosaic enthusiasts are madly making mosaics in readiness for Christmas and a beautiful summer!
Thanks to to the understanding of the MAANZ Committee as I was unable to attend the 2019 MAANZ Symposium in Canberra due to my foot injury.
I was disappointing to cancel my role as a speaker at the Symposium and I was so looking forward to sharing new tips and tricks in the mosaic workshop. Thanks to those who had booked in for understanding. I wish you all a word of beautiful mosaic making. It's addictive but so satisfying!
