Artful

Hi guys

This is my tag for the Go Tag Thursday theme of Go BOLD.... well now are bold colours the same as BRIGHT colours? That was my interpretation of it.

Hot Cocoa

I love these vintage adverts though and this one has inspired my theme for Sunday Postcard Art this week.

Moments

here is my tag for Go Tag Thursday where the theme is book print.

I've used book pages on the background of my tag plus I stamped the flowers onto book pages before water colouring them.

Diablo

Our little baby boy, Diablo is now 5 weeks old and is a real munchkin. He's very mischievous and a rascal.


His eyes are just starting to change colour.

New Journal

A few week's ago I got myself a smaller journal A6 in size... however,  after one page it fell apart... the glue had not gripped the pages.

so yesterday I found this one, it's still A6 and it's sewn together (from Rymans - £3.49)
the pages aren't super thick 110 gsm but seem to work ok.

so here's the first page in this journal.


i'm entering it into the Take a Word challenge of circles.

Round and Round

this week's SPA theme is chosen by Kay and it is WHEELS

When I first heard the theme I could only think of wheels/cogs machinery but having pondered upon the theme some more I had some ideas.... spinning wheel... wheel of fortune... bicycle wheels. I love the idea of the wheel of fortune tarot card and so I found this fortune teller image on a sheet I had from Art Tea Life on Etsy and also on the set of images was this little tricycle.


it's very textural IRL

My Myrtle and MegaEsophagus

Last week, after extensive tests my baby girl Myrtle has been diagnosed with megaesophagus.

For months now Myrtle has struggled with choking. She has been treated for kennel cough and lungworm to no avail.

Now, it has progressed to her being sick after eating, after drinking water, she cannot go for a walk or wear a collar. She is even sick whilst sleeping, although feeding her earlier than usual is helping with this.

This disorder causes her muscles in her throat to not push down her food into her stomach.

Luckily, (touch wood) I seem to have developed a way to feed Myrtle so that she isn't sick. Water is still a problem though, even though she is drinking from an elevated height. I took her out for a 10 minute walk yesterday and Myrtle was sick twice. So I cannot take her out as it's not fair to Myrtle.


we will perserve daily with dealing with the ME

This week is pets on SPA so I thought along with my postcard, Id update you as to the animal antics at Octopode Towers

A year to the day Lily died, her cat Priscilla gave birth to one very beautiful ginger boy kitten. I honestly hand on my heart believe he is a gift from my Lillabelle.
