Hello and good morning
Well it's just a short post to update you and to once again thank you for yet more cards received.
Good morning friends
Cancer is a lonely road with friends and family all having to stay on the sidelines urging you on and I have the best- Yesterday I got the best news ever... I beat it! In all the weeks I have been seeing my consultant, this was the first time the news was good and it couldn't have been better.
My blog has always been my journal .. I've never been afraid to share the good the bad and the ugly and who knows, maybe someone reads something that they can relate to and it helps.
And this was for a friend of a friend who also had to have an operation.
We are enjoying a lovely summer here which is always a bonus.

Hello friends...
First of all, thank you so much for your wishes, cyber hugs, prayers and the lovely cards I've received since my last post, I am so very grateful to have such amazing support.
It's been a whirlwind of hospital appointments and next week 2 more visits for more biopsies and scans. There's been so much to take in and come to terms with (and a few melt downs) but in between I find a little time to visit my colourful world of paint - even if they are just minitures. But I like that I can turn them into cards... I hope you enjoy seeing them
I only wish that the weather here was as colourful
Have a great day

Hello...
I hope this finds you well and enjoying the start of Spring.
So lots has happened since I last posted - Yes we got a 4 day break in Majorca and the weather was fabulous and we really enjoyed it
This was taken after a long day walking around Palma
We did a lot of walking in sunshine whilst the UK had nothing but rain.
I've also been painting ...A lot! Not everything turns out well but it takes me to a good place and if you read on you will understand
...Learning to hone my skills with tree painting
I was quite pleased with the fox until hubby thought it was my cat!
More trees and yes a cat
Ok, another gnome... And finally
I only have sensation in the little finger on my left hand and both hands are always frozen cold which adds to the pain but painting takes me to another place. Talking of which, DH has booked us a little break in Majorca for next month. It will be our first get away in 4 years, it won't be beach weather but it's a break right? And I can take my travel paints with me.
Sending hugs to you all

Hello friends!
More pots with the start of Spring flowers and foliage
This looks so much prettier IRL - The heart is painted gold and I love the idea of a house vase. The piece behind the painting is from some packaging I saved and though you can't see it here, it's glossy.
I had to throw in a gnome, I was playing with salt on w/colour. I love to do this random technique and look for shapes to sketch/paint into it.
Finally some paintings I did, one of which I framed

...trying out different w/colour papers and plain CS. I'm still not sure which I prefer but they all act differently so it's always a learning curve for me. One thing I do know is that I like to do tiny details rather than landscapes but this past week my hands have constantly failed me. I dropped my coffee all over my desk and it it even seeped into the drawers, what a palaver cleaning that up.
Well, I'm off to get a cup of tea... this has taken me more than an hour to type
Have a beautiful weekend

Hello and a belated Happy New Year!
I hope this finds you well.. It's a wet and cold day here in Liverpool.
