I have stage 4 cancer in my kidney, liver and lungs… and have been assigned a palliative care nurse, who I’ll be meeting beginning of October. Will keep you posted. Take care my lovelies. ❤️ Painting by Tetiana Antypova

Hi folks. My health is still not good so I’m taking a prolonged break from BSky. I’m unable to do very much until the doctors figure out what’s going on so there isn’t much to post about apart from how poorly I feel. Take care of yourselves my lovelies… hope to be back in a month or so. ❤️

I’ve been unable to do anything creative over the past few weeks due to illness, so I’ve been looking for something small that can easily be picked up and put down on a daily basis. Have just signed up for Karen Turner’s online workshop for Intuitive Daily Stitching. 🙂

Here’s a reading I did for creatives from the gorgeous I Ching deck by Klaus Holitzka.

Lifeline fitted today, yay! If I fall and can’t get up while my partner’s out. I press a button and someone comes out to help. 🥳

When you’re waiting for someone to do a thing they need your help with… but you’re locked in and can’t do anything else until that thing gets done. 😑🥴

Feedback from gallery that invited me to submit artwork. I’m not a prize winner, which I completely expected, and they won’t be showing my piece in the exhibition. Disappointed as I thought there was a possibility that they would. Anyhoo… I’ll be processing this then moving on. #stillanartist

Tried out my new lush CBD bar yesterday. It’s supposed to help with joint pain, and to my surprise it did! Would’ve been better if I’d used it just before bedtime. I had an autism moment at the greasiness of my hands, and not knowing what to do while I waited for my skin to absorb the oils. 🫠🥴

I had a visit from social services and from housing this week. Both were positive and helpful but still exhausting, so today is a day for mostly napping.

One week to go! If you're in the East Neuk of Fife, why not pop along to #ENOS23. 52 artists exhibiting along the coast, including myself in #Pittenweem.

Managed to submit my drawing in time to the Artworks Together exhibition. I’ll find out near the end of the month whether or not they’re going to use my work. This is what I chose to send… I called it Dysfunctional Compression. It’s about the discomfort of being in an over-stimulating environment.
