Handpainted Wooden Cottage House with Cat and Stand

Hi I am Ann Ross I am a mother and a grandmother.  I love to craft and in the past 18mths have found a love for art too. Im a bit of a butterfly as I flit between crafts so there's always lots of variety. I also like "rescue" items and incorporate in my craft with a bit of upcoming and a touch of my art or creative flair. Im always trying something new. I've suffered with a number of health issues over the past 15years in particular. I have had severe PTSD and received a lot of mental health support over the years which has me in a good place. This has been a combination of CBT, NLP, and somatic healing. I was bitten by an insect about 15 years ago and became very ill afterwards in the days before it was more widely known about. It's now thought to have been a tick this has left me with a rare autoimmune condition Reactive Arthritis then almost 6 years ago at the start of the pandemic I developed arythmias I was diagonosed with Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation I've been waiting almost 6 years to see a cardiologist in that time I've developed Hypertension and another rare autoimmune condition Mesenteric panniculitis. I have very poor mobility and am housebound a lot. For a long time I was very "lost" and my mental health was quite poor. However I discovered a love of craft and art found my communities and in the last 18mths have really found me. Everything in my life revolves around kindness. So im looking forward to making more new friends. Sending love and hugs to you all🩷🫂
