My medical problems and their investigation and treatment
ALTERED BOOK: "THE JOURNEY" - PAGE 2: FRANCE 1 Today I began the next page in my altered book. I didn't get very far because I spent the earlier part of the afternoon doing some organising - sorting through a lot of my background papers (gel prints, printables etc.) and ephemera, and filing…
COVID, COMPUTERS AND KITTIES It's been a month since I last posted on this blog and it feels strange coming back on! There are several reasons for my prolonged absence. Covid Earlier in September my hubby caught Covid, and being the generous soul he is, he made certain that he passed it on…
A couple of fruitful hours in the studio this afternoon. Well, mostly... Paper Mesh Thinking about my paper mesh experiments recently and how generally unsatisfactory the results were, I thought a bit more about it and decided that the sprayed pieces might work best photographed and used as printables. In their "real" state,…
A quick update with some recent photos which I haven't been able to share for the past few weeks, given that I was too busy posting about my various studio-based activities. Flowers My hubby has outdone himself again this year with bedding plants for our troughs and tubs in the patio, to make…
CELEBRATING THE IMPERFECT In a previous post, I described how one of the embellished teabags for my art journal page hadn’t worked out right, and before I ditched it, I looked at the back and realised that I could use it after all, where the ink had soaked through. I had a lovely…
Completing the completion! When I did my previous post, I reported that this storage unit was complete - until I decided to order a couple more boxes of the trays and really complete the job! (This photo is of the original sets I bought.) There are six trays in each box, with three…
Storage for my spray inks It's been a good few days since I posted. I have been working hard on my ink pad/spray storage unit. This job has proved to be a lot more protracted than I had hoped, but I am on the home stretch now. From my previous post, you will…
Today I had my pre-assessment appointment in Exeter, prior to my upcoming parastomal hernia repair operation. The original date for the operation, Thurs. 28th April, has been cancelled and my operation postponed, with so far no new date forthcoming, but today's appointment went ahead as planned. The first part of the appointment was…
Cooking I made a batch of Jamie Oliver's Scuffy Aubergine Lasagne today. This is a favourite recipe. It's "scruffy" because you just break up the pieces of lasagne and chuck them in - no faffing about with layering or anything! It also has everything in it so it's a really good meal just…
Preparations apace! I made a good start yesterday on my pre-op preparations. I sorted the top of the kitchen freezer which is now virtually empty. While I was at it, and because there wasn't too much in the fridge prior to my grocery delivery, I took everything out, removed all the shelves etc.…
