May Recap

Happy Saturday. It finally feels like summer here. It has still been on the cool side but the plus side of that is all the rain has made everything really green and beautiful. We have had a few days in the 80's but it has mostly been in the 70's which has been perfect especially for taking the dogs out.

Hello May. This piece was inspired by Archer and Olive. I did mine digitally though using the gouche brushes from Abby Uproot.

May did not start off well. As I said in my last post Lily took another turn for the worse and I ended up calling in Caring Pathways so we are doing In home hospice now. I made another video talking about what all has happened since my last post up until May 23rd.
I hope to make another video update soon. She had been really struggling with her breathing the end of May. Things went downhill again on the 30th when we went down on the prednisone and we almost lost her on the 31st.I had the hospice vet scheduled to come then but she could not get here until 6 that night. I found her on the floor around noon barely breathing and her gums were pale. I thought we had lost her and was trying my best to find someone to come sooner and end it but as I was crying over her she sat up and started walking around. It was crazy. By the time the vet got here she greeted her at the door and her gums were pink again so I could not do it. Things have been up and down with her since then. She is still eating and alert most of the time. Everyday is different with her though. At this point we just continue to take things one day a time. That is all we can do but it has been very hard and stressful because you never know what each day is going to bring. I think she has some cat in her though because she has so many lives. Hopefully she still has a few more left. i just don't want her to suffer. She is the strongest little dog I know and still has a will to live so we keep going for now.

Thankfully Lily was doing well on Mother's Day and we were able to celebrate with her. Emilia and I took my mom and the dogs to Barnes and Noble and we let my mom pick out what she wanted instead of just getting her a gift card like we usually do. She chose a journal and pens. We stopped at Starbucks afterwards and Emilia took this great photo of my mom and Lily. Indie had fun too.

Emilia got me a fanny pack from the Ellen shop that I had seen online I just love the message on it. She also got me a personalized water bottle but it didn't come with a straw so I am trying to find a different lid.

The best gift of all is having her for my daughter though.


My sister also ended up in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs she had pneumonia in March and was never able to get her breathing back to normal. She had gone to the get a CAT scan it was the third one since all this started and that is when it showed up. Thankfully they finally saw it and are treating it but she is still struggling with her breathing. They say it will take time to dissolve all the clots.



Things in our Etsy shop were still slow. We got this great photo from a buyer of her dog wearing one of my dog hats though. Isn't he adorable?

I also continued to participate in the Floral's and Praise For His Glory Challenge on Instagram. All were done on my Ipad Pro in Procreate. I had never heard of some of these flowers before especially the Flannel Flower on the top left.


I also made this piece from Liz Kohler Brown's Skillshare Class Modern Floral Illustrations On Your Ipad In Procreate

Finally we have all been loving this dish called Easy Egg Roll In A Bowl from The Real Food Blog.

It is a great quick and easy dish and Gluten free, Dairy Free and Vegan too.

That's all for now. Hope you are enjoying summery weather were you are. I will be back next month with more to share then.
