I have some outlets for my creativity that don't include me crawling around with a camera to get to the right angle
I still make jewelry from time to time (usually when I need something myself to match something I want to wear), sew a bit, do cross stitch projects (mostly Christmas related) and make 90% of all Christmas presents myself. I can do about a gazillon types of crafts if I have the energy and the low pain level.
And there is the writing. I haven't stopped writing. May have taken a bit of a break this summer, I have been feeling a bit down and haven't had much to say. 2009 was the worst year ever, starting with a broken spine and ending with a fire that made our house inhabitable one cat missing (got him back after 3 weeks and then almost lost him again to liver problems) and me badly burned and in the hospital, 2010 hasn't been that much better with lots of problems getting back in our house and my father dying of cancer the day after our wedding. It's hard to keep your spirits up when everything gets slapped in your face at once.
I've started one new project this summer though, something I've been thinking about for a long time, a page about Norway. Many ask me questions about Norway and Norwegians, and now my answers are collected in one place. You can find it here:

Other than that it's not much going on really. I prefer it that way, there has been too many happenings. My brain needs a break, and maybe one day I can come back to dA with new pictures and better health. Until then; I hope you are having a blast here and that the creativity is flowing
If you want to contact me about anything I'm easy to find on Facebook (my first name is Lexidh) and at lexidh@gmail.com








hoping you're ok right now... thanks for having shared ur art w/ all of us for so long!
And congrats on the wedding I wish good luck with everything.
I hope to get better, but I'm not an optimist anymore. More realist and try to move on with what I have and what I can do. My brain works, so I can still do a lot
Just curious - have you been diagnosed with fibro by one or more physicians? It occurs in less than 4% of the population, and can be mistaken if a patient self-diagnoses, since so many of its symptoms could easily be other issues.
I wish you luck with everything - congratulations on your wedding again!
Native Norwegians don't like to talk about Norway it seems. But so many people ask! I just had to collect all the answers somewhere, after years of repeating myself.
Torbjørn, Tarjei, and Geir Olav all seem quite cheerful to answer my questions about Norway when I have them, but they and you are the only Norwegians I know! Still, I like reading your blog - it's really informative and also fun to read. Your writing has a nice flow to it, and there are bits of humor too.
Be well!
