Day 17 - AEDM & Nablopomo - daffodil & magnetic therapy

aaron was home sick with a tummy bug today, poor thing.

this has been my first whole day at home this week and i still didn't manage a sketch until late afternoon.  i was having a bad body pain day as well as one of those lethargic days.

my darling mum bought me a bio-magnetic underlay and pillow cover for my bed to hopefully help with the pain. she swears it has helped her over the past nine years.  mum took her magnetic underlay off their bed a few months ago and, it only dawned on her a few days ago that, she and dad have been getting a lot of aches and pains since.  needless to say, mum ordered a new magnetic underlay for their bed too.  i'll give it a good month or two before i pass any judgement.

the daffodil was my favourite flower as a child and i still hold a soft spot for daffodils to this day

i found out years later that the daffodil is also the birth flower for march which happens to be my birth month

Day 16 - AEDM & Nablopomo - mandala, sketch & magpies

thanks for all the well wishes regarding my migraine yesterday.
it left me feeling a little cloudy-headed today but it's all good.

one of my readers has been having an intermittent problem accessing my blog. she will sometimes get a message saying "this blog does not exist" and i was wondering if anyone else has had this experience with my blog? my daughter was telling me today that, while it hasn't happened with my blog, it has happened recently with another blog she visits. hopefully, it's just a temporary blogger glitch because i'm totally stumped.

today i was back at michelle's so we could finish off the triptych revamp.

again, i got to spend quality time with beautiful, little mikayla.
grandchildren are so special!

i played with another mandala this morning.  at the moment we are just working on creating designs and we will then be colouring and detailing them over the next couple of weeks.

for a few weeks now, we've been getting regular visits from a family of magpies.
i love birds!

the babies are the brown colour and they are just about the same size as their parents. the funny thing is that they will stand beside their parent squawking like crazy until the parent picks up the food we have thrown out and feeds it straight into their mouth. i don't get why the baby just doesn't bend over and pick up it's own food....too funny!

i'll be at home all day tomorrow so will hopefully be spending more time in the studio.

until then

Day 15 - AEDM & Nablopomo - mandala in progress

hi everyone

a very quick post tonight as i'm battling a migraine which started taking hold late afternoon.
i think it started from neck tension.

we (brad, beau, michelle, mikayla & i) went out for lunch with my parents, my brother billy, and his lovely wife, debbie. we all have a great time! 

after getting home around 3PM, i printed out the templates for the mandala class which started today. i played around a little but didn't get too much done with this migraine making an appearance.
