AWOL :(


Five months to the day! Goodness, in some ways it seems much longer, in others much shorter. Five months ago I started coughing and became quite unwell. Initially, the Drs told me it was a clot on the lung, but no, it was pneumonia. Five long months of coughing, CT scans, Xrays, antibiotics and I'm still coughing, but thankfully much better than I was.

My mojo had sadly left me, but my daughter-in-law shared a rather lovely quote on her Facebook page. I knew I had to do something for her incorporating the quote. Baby is due today, but she is still safely tucked away. This is the quote she posted :

Butterfly Quotes pregancy quote and saying - man kissing wifes belly

Below is the canvas I made for her. Anyone who knows me will understand the amount of effort that went into creating it. I do not do messy. Two pairs of gloves were required to paint the canvas.

  1. Fabulous canvas, Ruth! I know this took you totally out of your comfort zone. Glad you're feeling better than you were, but hopefully it won't be too long before you've made a full recovery. xx

  3. Hi Ruth so sorry to hear how poorly you've been. I hope you'll soon be fit and well again.

    Your canvas is beautiful. I think it's rewarding to do something very different. Barbxx
