There were so many things I wanted to write about in June, but I couldn’t write any posts. My mum passed away, and I was back in Japan for a while. Her sudden unexpected death was devastating. I am trying to get back to normal little by little.
This image of pink rose and a bud is the one I embroidered using silk shading technique.
(Cotton threads on silk fabric. Embroidered by Masako Newton.)
Some coincidence brought me an opportunity to start contributing an article to a Japanese monthly magazine. The target audience is Japanese people who want to get information on UK, but my page is a bit like a diary with photos. My first article was about English roses, and I used the image above to go with it. It was published last month, but I couldn’t show it to my mum in time. I wish I could have done it.
I’m sure she would have been happy for me…
Please accept my Deepest condolences on the loss of your Mum, my Mum passed suddenly in March this year, the pain is awful, treasure your precious memories. She must have been so.proud of you.
Oh Nicky, I couldn’t find words and reply to your message right away. It still hurts to think about mum after all these years. I am so incredibly sorry for your sudden loss – It must be tough. My heart goes out to you. Sending heartfelt sympathy. Masako x
