My Journey So Far

Hello everybody. I realised that I have been super quiet for the last month because of life stuff but I felt I should let you all know where I am at right now.

So, at the end of February I posted this on my Facebook Page. At this point I was waiting to see surgeons and find out what is happening with my pesky right knee.

For those of you who are unawares of what has been happening in my world, I suffered a knee injury in Oct 2015. It has not healed. When i can do some designing I do, but a lot of the time I am in a fair amount of pain. New content is on its way to the webstore and there will be much celebration when it does. Stay tuned!!!

Stay Tuned indeed!

There are complications to my knee and I have just have to wait for further doctors appointments. In the meantime I am determined to get on with my life as best I can in the situation I am in.

After being on crutches though for 5 months I was so exhausted every day I didn't do much. I am now in a wheelchair, which allows me more mobility and less pain. I am also able to be more active with less fatigue. As a result my entire workspace and crafting area is being altered to accommodate the wheelchair. So far after a week I am doing ok.

From a week ago. Head to the blog for more information. ・・・ Day 1. Waiting in the kitchen for my coffee to brew. Struggling to accept that I am an a wheelchair. I get that it is to make things easier and less painful but for an active person to be in a wheelchair is like chipping a bird's wings.

The great part is I am getting back into the swing of things and plan to have some new stuff available on my webstore very soon. I am having to have my craft desk lowered so I can use it but at least I have my computer desk sorted. It has been hard going but I am sure that things will work out in the end. Staying positive and looking forward to some creative times to share with you all.

Mixed media Adventures

Hi crafters

Now that I am getting back into crafting mode after my recovery from surgery, I thought I would have a play with some mixed media journaling. 

As a first attempt goes I am rather happy with this. The one downside to doing work with sprays and wet media is waiting for it to dry (and you can't always use a heat tool), so I have worked out a method of working on two projects at the same time. 

Let me know what you think.
