Love of van Gogh....

Hi Everybody!

I am still feeling bad after Covid.  It has left me - thanks be! - but I still have a whole row of health problems, which the Doc called 'Post Covid' and are restricting my crafting possibilities.  I feel like my head has been stuffed with cotton wool, and that is just one thing!!

This lady really has the sky above her, and she is in love with van Gogh, so it is meant for wendy's  'Above us only sky' challenge at AJJ.





I hope to be back with you next week!

Have a great week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  6. Well, Thank God, Praise Jesus, I thought you were dead. I've really been worried about you. You did not post for a whole week! I hate that you are dealing with the aftermath, but so happy to hear Covid has left your building. PLEASE take it easy to recover fully. I know you are still feeling poorly because your post is so short, haha. But thank you for it, my worried imagination can rest now. Feel better, my friend. XXO

    1. Hi Aimeslee, sorry if I worried you! I am still alive just feel bad. And if I don't blog, then I 'm ill, and short posts are not a good sign. I hope I can get back to normal next week, but please don't worry. I'm a tough cooky! Hope you are doing well. So, look after yourself, and I hope to take up my normal duties next week! Hugs 🤗!

  13. Your blue lady is impressive and just lovely. I'm so sorry to learn you're still not feeling well but hopefully the worst of it is behind you. Everyone I know is congested with stuffy noses and constant sniffling so you're not alone! Take good care and get plenty of rest and lots of good coffee :)

  19. This COVID is a nasty fellow isn’t he. Not only does he knock you down he kicks you when you try to get up. Perhaps you will at least develop immunity after this long, unpleasant bout with the dreaded disease. Get well soon, Valerie. We need you and your fabulous women with flowing hair and long necks. Hugs and kisses - David

  20. I am a Van Gogh fan too, love his early works especially (potato eaters) which are somewhat different to what you normally see. Well, your lady is certainly paying homage to Vincent himself with her lovely blue starry hair and the little buildings you placed in.
    So sorry to hear you are not making a full recovery from Covid. Shows you must have been run down to begin with Valerie and I hope you begin to pick up soon. Do take care and don't try to do too much although I know when you want to produce some artwork it is very difficult to sit there and do nothing.
    Thinking of you
    Hugs, Neet xx

    1. Thanks Neet. There's the best van Gogh museum in Holland, about an hour's drive from here, and they have a lot of his earlier 'brown' works - including several copies of the potato eaters and his wonderful boots painting. Its called the Kröller Müller Museum and is in Hoge Veluwe, a wonderful nature park.
