We put our Christmas tree up and despite being in the UK I’ve made sure that my cultural heritage is represented. 🙏

🎨 Haven’t done too many this year, but am pretty proud of this little one I did for my partner’s birthday of our cat, Violet.

Been a tough few days for this sleepy girl as she’s been dealing with hyperthyroidism, a severe allergic reaction to her first medication, and now transitioning her onto her second medication.
Please send her your energy a la Goku in that one episode of Dragon Ball 🙌

We took her to the vet again today and found out she’s allergic to her liquid meds so we’ll be trying out pills instead. She may also have high blood pressure. 😮💨
Please keep your fingers crossed for our old girl, hopefully this works out! 🤞
