SNIFFLECOUGH

Unfortunately, I’ve been sidelined these last few days with what started as a cold and then deteriorated into bronchitis.  I finally gave in to it yesterday and went to the doctor.  With the heavy duty cough syrup and antibiotic she prescribed, I should be on the mend soon.  You know I was sick – I didn’t pick up my knitting needles or paintbrushes all day yesterday, sleeping most of the day away.

MY OWN MIXED MEDIA

Before my cold hit like a ton of bricks, I painted this background, getting ready for 2015’s first project.

 I did some playing around with my new Big Kick die cutter – which I love, by the way – using some fabric scraps I had lying around.  I’m drawn to leaf shapes at the moment and here’s what they morphed into:
