Side-Benched. Unfortunately.


Hello there. I hope you're all well and happy. Me? Not so much at the moment. In fact I feel awful. The whole house has been infected by this annoyingly curious bug and now everyone is sick, including my 4 months old baby. Usually I'm quite tough when it comes to fighting off bugs and viruses, but this one is a nasty kind and sadly, I've been unwillingly side-benched. I guess illness is a way of reminding us how human and fragile we are, don't you think? Just a simple flu is enough to make you feel weak and eventually you'd have to put everything to a halt. Whether you like it or not. :((

I did plan on sharing something special with you, but I don't really have the strength to put it up for posting right now (mind you, I'm typing this in snail speed and my brain is not cooperating). So here's something I did before the "party pooper bug" came visiting...

Follow My Leap, pencils and digital medium


So anyway, enjoy your day. Don't forget to eat your fruits and veggies, get plenty of rest and soak up the sunshine. You never know what kind of bugs are lurking in the shadows....

  2. I know how you feel, we have all been sick, sick, sick for weeks. It just keeps hanging on and won't let go. Arghhhh. I finally have a little energy again, but not much. :( I hope that it leaves your household much more quickly than our nasty bug is leaving ours.

  6. Hope you feel better soon - those nasty little bugs - be gone. This art work is incredible - you have such a wonderful style, and your work has a lovely surreal feel about it.

  7. Yes, you never know what illnesses or accidents are ready to attack you, while you are feeling well and happy... I wish a quick recovery to the whole family! I suppose that the mood in the house is low, so take a lot of sleep and try to discover new ways to entertain the little ones (if this is possible!) Some days ago I had an accident that showed me how precious health is. I'm still recovering from the stress...
    The drawing is taking us to a different, dreamy world, where everything impossible or dangerous looks so tempting and inviting us to try or at least to dream of it... Take care, dear friend!xox

  10. Yes, leap! Leap with all your heart. She is a drop of pure sweetness. Love her bouncing braids!

    Aww, Amalia. I hope you and your family get better. I heard a doctor once say that getting sick is proof that you have an active and healthy immune system. For what that's worth. :) Feel better, sweets.

  13. Sorry about your bug infestation. Like Ces I thought it was something worse, like tsetse fly or elephantiasis. Count your blessings!

    Here's wishing you health and back to the drawing table soon!
