Multiple Sclerosis...

I have been dealing with some pretty serious health problems since April, which are still sticking with me.

I have Multiple sclerosis which is an auto immune disease where my immune system destroys the protective coating on the nerves in my brain and spinal cord causing inflammation on the nerves damaging them and stopping the information from getting from the brain to tell the body what it's supposed to do.

Right now, I'm unable to use my left hand because it doesn't act like a real hand instead it just does whatever it wants, the bad thing about that is that I am left handed and creating any of my ladies is impossible.

I have had four different courses of Solumedrol i.v. treatments, just finished my fourth yesterday. I am hoping that I will gain use of my hand back. Until then I will still be selling prints on my etsy store. I will keep you posted when I have new ladies to show.

Of course it's not all bad I've gotten pretty darned good at doing things one handed (I'm just not going to tell how long it took me to type this post. heh)

Olivia

I have a new listing up on Etsy for an original paiting. It is 18x22 inches in size and is pen and ink, watercolor, and acrylic. Olivia is a dark haired lady with a pensive look on her face. Click the picture to take a look at the link! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, 2010 is gone and we are staring 2011 squarely in the face. A brand new year, all blemish free and ready to explore.

I have stopped making resolutions as such, since they can become ways to beat myself up for perceived inadequacies as the year progresses. We get the idea that unless we are a certain way we aren't worthy enough for good things. So this year instead of making a resolution to CHANGE something about myself, I am going to resolve to emphasize my good bits and let the other stuff go!

So Happy New Year, and you're fabulous just as you are!

Daring Young Girl on the Flying Trapeze

Well I am back creating art again. It has been so long, I think I've been playing too much Bloon Tower Defense 4 to do much else. :\

This lady was inspired by a documentary I was watching on life in the circus. It made me think we needed a curvy young lady to swing above the crowds in a hot pink outfit!

Christmas is right around the corner....

Can you believe it is almost time for Christmas and then a brand new year? It's crazy how fast this year has flown!

Today I have a new print to show here and a link to her listing on Etsy.



Autumn Girl

Witch's Delight

Wow can you believe it is almost Halloween? It seems just last week that I was complaining about the heat wave we were having, and now I am huddled in my snuggy in front of a space heater. At least I am consistent in complaining about the weather though. :)

Here is a little witch girl out for a nice Halloween night broom ride.
