People handle grief in different ways, my husband found the loss of Red very hard.   Annie, is Red’s mother and follows him everywhere, she finds me a poor substitute!  Annie is two years older and my husband feels losing Annie would be much worse for him.  So he has decided to look for another dog.  It’s too soon for me, but hopefully it will be a few months further on.

We are still in the months of free art sessions.  Most are not appealing to me for one reason or another, but this one did:

My first go with Gouache.  I spent a while practicing the leaves before deciding to do it my way.  Obviously more practice required and she did mention finding the “right” paint brush for leaves.

I have been carrying on with my Scripture book.

 

 I am not sure if I will get back to doing ICADs.

 My husband and I have had a tough couple of weeks. One of our three dogs died, possibly stroke, it was incredibly quick.  We are on holiday, the nearest emergency vet was over an hour away and it was obvious she wouldn’t make it to the vets.  The owner of the caravan site let us bury her in an area of his land where the family pets were and his grandmother’s ashes scattered.  It was a very peaceful place and we were grateful for his kindness.

I spent today with my niece in her craft room making a jellyfish lamp.

As always, lovely to spend time with her.  More to look forward to tomorrow.

I also have been creating a book of verses from the Gospel of John.

A big thank you to Mary Ann who sent me the above.  The envelope is so sweet it makes me want to make some myself.  It was a lovely surprise, my son stayed the night on his way home from Hyde Park and he brought my hearing aid and the post.

We went to a garden centre, I bought some paper napkins which I didn't photograph and Spirit.   Spirit is a wild mustang, star of the film of the same name, one of my favourite films.  I have six of these resin horses (all different) at home, most bought for me by my loving husband.  Amazon sent me a £5 voucher for a film Saturday, so I bought Spirit.  Happy Days.

No crafting has gone on, I have however read 3 books! I have been sitting at the side of the caravan and barely moving for three days, got swollen ankles and also sunburn!  Those rays ricocheted twice to get me!  On the 4th day I kept circling my ankles and standing up often and it was sorted.

 Monday morning I woke up with vertigo so had a restful day - no exercises - watching a few craft tutorials.  Thankfully Tuesday I was fine,  but I did waste time looking for a parrot with a particular pose.  The funny thing was that somewhere along the way I seemed to have forgot the pose I wanted and was looking for something different 🙄.

Tuesday afternoon we went to a garden centre to have a look at sheds, but they didn’t have any.   They did have some franchises and I bought some clothes - more happy days.

My husband is talking about building/buying a shed for me.  Well the first plan was for him to have a third for garden chairs and mower.   I had a great image in my mind and it didn’t include looking at the garden tools🤣🤣.  Then he started looking online (being as we were not at home) and is looking at delightful summer houses all for me.  This obviously is a better option aesthetically, but I am thinking with all that glass, too hot, too cold!  Stay tuned.
