Well it's been a while since I last blogged. Feels weird writing stuff but thought I would give it a go. I could go on about what a tough few months I have had but conpared to some people out there I would feel a fraud. So I won't say that what I will say is over the last few months I have lost two people I have thought a lot about and unfortunately they were both through suicide. I have wondered why, so many times over the last few weeks. I have wondered why they weren't helped, why such awful things have happened. Whether they would have lived if the right support had been offered. An unsurprisingly I have no answer just such sadness for their family for their friends, for the fact that their young lives have been cut short. My thoughts are with them, to Brian and Alan may they rest in peace x

    Ah hun you're not the only one thinking the same sweetie, the loss of two individuals whenever is hard but because it was of their own choosing is even harder and the hole that they will have left will remain with their friends and family forever. Everyone should have someone they can talk to - bare their soul and be honest - everyone should feel they can stretch that hand out when they need it! Let's try and brighten everyone's day that we meet today because you simply don't know what people's lives are like - sending you huge hugs!

    Oh Mel, I'm so ,so sorry to read this. I don't have any answers either (I lost my cousin to suicide 9 years ago) I just know it's difficult for those left behind. Please don't torture yourself with thoughts of "if only.." just know that they're in a better place for them.
    Thinking of you and sending hugs.xx

Rocking my world!

Been a pretty busy week so lots to be grateful for! Firstly I am grateful for Friday evening with my daughter, watching Labrinth at the O2 arena and a fancy dress club- night straight after with uni friends and my brother and his girlfriend! I am also grateful for my home, something that I take for granted often but the terrible hurricane that has destroyed so many homes in the US, has reminded how lucky I am for my surroundings. I also had a trip out with my sister, my nephew and my daughter to a local petting zoo, which I really enjoyed especially seeing the meercats and gaining the knowledge that a group of peacocks are called a party lol (love this)! I am grateful for my wonderful family, especially my sister Virginia who laid on a fantastic Halloween party at her house, with beautiful food and an opportunity for my daughter to get dressed up and all of the rest of the family to have a proper catch up! Also managed to watch Alien (first time ever), something I have bee...

Art as counselling!

This is what I have finished off tonight, it's not great but I really enjoyed doing it. So much so that I have started another one already I will try and upload the new one tomorrow if I get chance to finish it! Most of the things I am journalling at the minute look bright and colourful but to be honest a lot of it is being vented as a sort of counselling! More helpful to me, than actual art but feel that due to this it has its own merits as art goes! Sorry about the rubbish explanation but it's all I've got lol

MISSING IN ACTION

Ok it's official I'm converting this artistic crafty blog into a chatty one because i can do that without a problem.  I've hit thirty it was scary but I'm still here and I've survived so now I'm officially grown up - actually nah I'm not I'm just the same old me!   I have had one of the worst hair cuts ever - the hairdresser seemed to think I was a boy and wanted something similar to a crue cut - Tom Cruise Top Gun circa 1980 doesn't have anything on me!  The reason I've not been online is that my laptop is broken - how you may ask? A friend in need turned into the spawn of satan and used my laptop as a weapon of mass destruction by picking the laptop in its lovely case (also containing my digital camera) and throwing i with great force across the road at her brother's departing back!  She then proceeded to threaten with suicide and when I refused to leave due to my worry for her she called the Police to have me forceably removed. I haven...
