Hi everyone,
I hope you've been enjoying a lovely week.
I think this may be my first time participating in
Rain's Thursday Art Date. The theme for this week is 'Pink'. I hope the pink Easter egg in my finally completed Easter spread
will do. I know Easter was back in April but I've gradually been adding
elements to the pages and only completed it last week.
The eggs, chick, and bunny were done with watercolours and ink. I collaged some stamps and the packaging from the vegan chocolate my son and I
tried for the first time over Easter — it was delicious! The Carrie's
Coconut bars remind me so much of the Bounty bars I used to love — I actually
like the vegan ones better which is saying something because I've always been
very picky when it comes to chocolate and the English-recipe Cadbury's was always my favourite.

Temperatures have dropped a bit here with Winter officially arriving on the
first of June. I do love our winters despite the fact that the cold, dry air
brings on frequent asthma attacks. I have to remember to wear a mask if I go
outside in the mornings or evenings. If I forget,
like I did the other morning, I suffer with violent fits of coughing
followed almost immediately by chest congestion which makes breathing
difficult. I end up feeling quite ill and weak for two to three days. Not fun
at all especially when I'm still dealing with neck issues from the fall.
I'll battle on regardless.
Before I close off this post, I thought you might like to see a picture of my
studio muse. If Kya isn't draped across my art desk, she will sometimes lie on
the rug directly behind my chair, mostly because I've kept putting her down
after her failed attempts to lie on top of my work —
while I'm actually trying to work. I'm fine if she lies on the desk
right beside me but that isn't always the case. Instead of an art muse, I
should call her an art block because she hates me working at my desk and
constantly tries to stop me. Crazy cat!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and the upcoming weekend. Stay safe and
well.
Love, Light and Peace
