It's all the twos today! Two new pages of doodle patterns and two kitty pics! Doodle Leaf motifs As before taken from various YouTube videos and with some of my own embellishments and ideas. Kitties Lily, desperate for her tea. Note the determined stance of the back legs, and the insistent paw reaching…
Health update - more frustrations! On Sunday I had my CT scan in Exeter as arranged. When I had my first scan there, back in the summer of 2019, Mr. Daniels, the consultant, had said that he wanted me lying on my stomach for it, and when I arrived, there was nothing on…
Exciting new art materials Derwent Coloursoft coloured pencils I have been doing more drawing and colouring recently, and have become increasingly frustrated with my limited set of cheap colouring pencils which are perpetually breaking, so I decided to treat myself to a decent set - the first I have ever owned. I did…
Neurographic Art Chi Rho Tree of Life I decided this picture needed a few more finishing touches, so I added some more lines to the tree roots, and also emphasised the shape of the cross a bit more, by adding some more brown colouring. I think it looks better now. Here it is…

Health Update I had a surprise phone call on Friday from the Exeter hospital, totally out of the blue. It has been so long since I heard anything since my initial referral three years ago, and due to getting lost in their system for months after my initial appointment and subsequent CT scan…
The downward spiral In 2020 we longed for the normality of 2019. In 2021 we thought that perhaps 2020 hadn’t been so bad after all. “Three weeks to flatten the curve”? Hmm. The majority are ruled by fear and are willingly giving up their basic freedoms and submitting to totalitarianism. However, for the…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal, truth be told. After my recent card making marathons I'm taking a bit of a rest! I've had a few bad fatigue days, especially yesterday afternoon and evening once I'd sorted out all my grocery delivery in the morning. I spent the time…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? More patchwork cards I have been making some more pachwork cards. I had cut a lot of squares, and I made a hexagon template to cut them down into this new shape, concentrating on the reds and purples. I liked the inked squares I'd done before, so…
