T Stands For Nollaig Chridheil Cards AND 2nd Visit To The Cat Cafe!

Hi Friends! Hope you are all doing well and are full of the festive spirit. I am trying to be. Apart from the knee thing, both kittens have been vomiting for a couple of days. I’ve had to remove all the Christmas presents from under the tree just in case and also remove the small fiber optic tree as Mr G is determined to chew on the fiber optics!  Christmas [...]

Winter Solstice

Hi Friends and Happy Solstice! Short and sweet…it’s cold and dark and I am going to light the fire and make it bright inside.  Tonight is also the finale of Game of Wool, so I am really hoping Holger wins, although there is also a girl from Ayrshire in the final so I hope she does well too.  (There were two people from Ayrshire and the show is also filmed [...]

T Stands For December Calendar Page AND Visit To The Cat Cafe!

Hi Friends and Happy December! So here we are a month since my last post, shocking really.  I am a bad blogger and my art table is gathering dust too!  I just haven’t been feeling that motivated.  As for my knee, well I finally saw an orthopedic consultant – this has taken nearly two years – and turns out I do not have a torn meniscus nor a patella femoral [...]

November Calendar Page AND Miss Lily’s Adventure Playground

Hi Friends and Happy November! Wow so here we are in mid-November already – how did that happen?  Health update – still walking with the crutch, actually after EIGHT months of no appointments or contact with the hospital, I got an offer of an appointment later this month which unfortunately, I can’t attend, so I guess that puts me back at the end of the queue again. *shrug*  At this [...]

Steampunk Pukka Witch With Pumpkins – Guest Hosting at Art Journal Journey October 2025

Hi Friends! I hope you are all doing well.  Yesterday I did something that I have not done in over SIX years – drive to a city, in this case, Glasgow.  I have travelled far from home since before 2020, due to various obvious things, and then a period of not being able to drive at all, so yesterday I went to IKEA.  I have not been there either for [...]

Halloween Bingo – Scary Fun and Games – Guest Hosting at Art Journal Journey October 2025

Hi Friends! I hope you are all doing well.  It was vaccination time yesterday so these two had to be rounded up and captured. Miss Lily did me a favour by jumping into a cardboard box, so she was easy to capture, but her brother, Mr G, gave me a bit of a workout, by running away from me, hissing and growling!  I am still hobbling about so I’m sure [...]

Halloween Trick or Treaters – Guest Hosting at Art Journal Journey October 2025

Hi Friends! I hope you are all doing well.  Well our clocks changed at the weekend and now everything is out of whack!  Eating at the wrong time, falling asleep and waking up at the wrong time, it will take me a few weeks to adjust.  We are also having colder temperatures and quite a bit of rain but also most of it at night and nice sunny, dry days, [...]

Halloween Cookies – Guest Hosting at Art Journal Journey October 2025

Hi Friends! I hope you are all doing well.  Well we were promised a week of horrible rain but instead it has been sunny and blue skies – what a treat!  I was out today and the sun was hitting me on the face all the way home in the car and it was WONDERFUL.  I was tempted to shade my eyes but I was just really enjoying some sun [...]
