Stay safe and well,

Free cat line art and sentiment

Hello folks,

Today I have a cat line art and he/she is not purrfect, it has a sketchy finish which I kinda like.

It’s ok for our art to be imperfect, being human means that we have flaws and defects and by allowing our imperfections to show in our work, can create some pretty cool art that will make your work stand out from the crowd.

Aim for perfect and you will fail because perfect doesn’t exist. Instead embrace every mistake that you make because from our mistakes we learn something new, which means we are making progress.

So the next time you pick up a marker or paint brush remember to aim for progression and not for perfection.

Stay safe

Mediation and colouring

Meditation as now become part of my daily routine in recovery. I find that I sleep better, and I am much more calmer and less reactive in sticky situations. I'm able to take a step back and make a better choice about how I want to react, very often I opt to say and do nothing because I believe we're all on our own life path and who am I to steer anyone off their track. This change in behaviour has being a tremendous help in healing my personal relationships and now I enjoy being with family and friends because I see that everyone is entitled to be themselves without judgement. Being me is enough.

Mediation doesn't need to be sitting straight backed, crossed legged, hands together and reciting a chant in a foreign tongue. Colouring can be a good way to practice meditation or any other craft or hobby that fully absorbs your mind.

I have created this line and word art to get you colouring and it is free to use...

Enjoy,

I had a nervous breakdown 2 years ago and my ability to be creative was a godsend. It helped to quieten my irrational and fear based thoughts that were produced by my mental illness. Drawing, colouring and general craft became a go to tool to aid my recovery.

I will slowly add my line art to the blog for free. No strings attached.
I hope a little personal time, colouring will help to relieve stress and pressure in your daily life, even if it is only for a short while. Sadly I can't promise colouring will cure mental health (I wish!) but it sure does help. 

Enjoy,

Chicken Fajita in slow cooker

Slow cooking is so easy and it is all done in one pot, so hardly any washing up! There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't use it. The other day I cooked a whole chicken in it, who knew eh?!

Living in a homless hostel on such a low income I had to learn how to cook cheaply. I'm so use to cooking for a family of four and no matter how much I try to cook for one I still prepare enough for four! therefore I figure I'd give up trying and use this to my advantage. So, I have one portion for tea and freeze 3, which means if I do this with every meal for a week, I have enough meals for a month!

yesterday I made chicken fajita in my slow cooker. The season mix is from Lidle and only cost 23p (I think!) and it is so tasty. For the last hour of cooking I add noodles to soak up all the sauce created by the steam in the slow cooker

Add onion, peppers, ribbon one carrot and chicken

Sprinkle two of the fajita season mix and add about 200ml of water.

Cook on high 3/4 hours

cook on low 6/8 hours

add noodles for the last hour (optional)

I promise you will not be disappointed, it is a taste sensation!
