You know the saying " when life gives you lemons ....." well I wish it would send champers or chocolate instead! The past 3 weeks threw more drama at me which looks like continuing for at least another week or 2. The good news is that I still went ahead ,(with hired help) , and had my 5th back procedure . That was 2 weeks ago and it may take up to 6 weeks to feel the benefits but I already think there is some improvement. Yey!!!
I have tried to de stress as much as possible and spend at least an hour or 2 each day doing some colouring . I am rather enjoying Rita Bermen's book at the moment.
I particularly love my chosen colours for this page and changed the black dots to white using a Posca paint pen. I used a gold gel pen for the centre line work in each petal.
This was the 1st page I selected and I used a pastel pencil for the background. Hmmmm, not the best choice.
Finally, this is the page I am currently working on. I selected the colours from a card in my colour cube . A few more sessions before completion.
I enjoyed reading another Anna Jacobs' book. This was the 3rd in a series and I read the 1st but don't have the 2nd. It didn't really matter.
As usual, I pass my books onto mum to read but I am currently struggling to keep up with her demand lol. It is very wet here at the moment and I am wondering when some warm weather is going to appear. It is a very strange November here . I hope the predicted severe weather in many states has not affected you.
Good to hear there is improvement with your back. Iv'e enjoyed AJ books, I must look for another... Lovely to see the colouring.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the lemons have been about at your place. Good to hear you have had success with your back. Really like that author too. Your colouring is beautiful. Look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteYes champers and chocolate would definitely be better. Glad you are improved and hope it continues for you. That is one gorgeous book and I love all your pages.
ReplyDeleteTake care xx
I am just catching up a few of your posts as time has gotten away after my father's passing. I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time and hopefully things will sort out for you soon. Take care.
