Opening night of the Lovart exhibition at Dubai International Art Center. I’m so happy to have 5 of my sustainability mixed media Sassy Lady portraits on display. #dubai #art #sustainability

Found 2 of these moths on the car this morning. Don’t see many moths here in Dubai. #moths #camo #nature

Some of my Sassy Ladies mixed media sustainability portraits are going to be exhibited next month here in Dubai. Made from discarded costume jewelry and fabric offcuts from the tailors, with chalks & acrylics, and embroidery. #mixedmediaart #recycledart #sustainability #artists

After 20 years in superfast-paced Dubai it is time to plan a shift back home, to South Africa. I have 10 months to do my bucket list items in the Middle East. Give me some ideas please? #expatlife #cultureshock #bucketlist

The annual dreaded decluttering has begun. Happy to put some collectibles up for adoption and redecorate my space. What about you? Are you a December declutterer or do you prefer to do it in a new year? Picture of my cute rescue kitty, Pepper. #declutter #decorate #lifegoals #2024 #aspirations

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Sad that my expensive “From That Big Company” purchase from the US arrived in Dubai, broken. Why do sellers not use common sense when packaging fragile items for sale? Any tips for repairs will be welcome. #sad #commonsense #savechristmas #help #howtoadvice

Looked up at this overhead light unit the entire duration of my dental cleaning session. It looks like a giant robotic praying mantis. At least he was a friendly fellow!

Got a blister after long hours cutting cardstock and inking all the edges with a tiny sponge for my shabby chic Tea Garden themed art journal.
(Image shows dozens of pastel paper ephemera die-cut shapes with inked brown edges and a brown Ranger Tim Holtz ink pad)

Making a handmade sensory book for someone else to use as a visually inspiring journal. Theme: tea, flowers & butterflies. I am creating enticing ways to write and interact with images, hidden notes, envelopes & tags. NaNoWriMo’s pure word-form is too boring right now.

Meet Pepper, our rescue cat. She is estimated to be 2yrs old and has the sweetest purrsonality. #rescuecats #cats #dubailife

Awesome racing at Dubai Kartdrome. The Ladies Cup was a great success. #gokarting #dubai #ladiesracing #ladiesmotorsport
