Ooh yes! I went to a tricky wedding last year (partner’s daughter getting married, meeting her mum for first time since I was a teen. Etc) Magazine & Zebrano were both amazing.

When I’m sad this brings me so much joy. (And makes me cry)
It was two weeks before Tony died. He was in pain & heavily medicated.
Yet, briefly, at the end of this I had my Tony back for a few lovely moments. Looking cheeky & teasing me.
I know I’ve shared it already 😑

I do. My husband passed away recently &, as all the flowers I was sent die, I’m printing with them. It feels good.

It’s 3 weeks since I realised Tony’s breathing was changing & I should sleep beside him in the lazyboy rather than come home & leave him with the rest home staff.
How is it 3 weeks already?

Sabrina is not the smartest cat.
There was a lot of crashing & thumping behind our bedroom curtains this morning. I could see the silhouette of her jumping & turning on the window ledge.
She was chasing a bird. A bird that was outside…

Tonight’s collage play time. I’m already seeing a pattern in the shapes & layouts I prefer.
The gel medium is only showing up as shiny because these are quick night photos on my phone.

I know I probably won’t make finished art for ages now Tony has died.
I’ve pre cut up piles of my handmade papers and am playing in a small journal.
It’s useful for honing in on the compositions and colours that spark my interest.

I have a 9 year old rescue cat, Sabrina. She’s been with me 3 years and can still be quite skittery.
