I recently started an illustration of Sophie cluttered in her little alcove in the hat store, because I needed practice and because I love that novel.

I just. I am so frustrated with myself that I never took the time to write to the woman and just say - you are AWESOME. Please, keep being awesome.

And that the best way to honor them is to remember them, and become awesome just like them. Yeah?

I will post it, definitely. (: Or at least make certain to upload it somewhere that you can see it.
