long time no see / C28: oddities

I've been away from DA for ages now...So many things going on. My grandmother became very ill when she was on holiday and had to be transported to the nearest hospital to where she was (she was on a cruise) and it was very touch and go..the docs didn't think she was going to make it for a while there...thankfully she did, and she's finally home and recovering nicely...... and then my cat was ill...(the vet said he had lymphoma and only had weeks to live) but it turns out the vet was wrong and when they did further tests they couldn't find any evidence of cancer and so they did a lymphectomy on him (his lymph glands were swollen to the size of cherry tomatoes!) they said that he didn't have cancer at all, and so they decided that he had eczema and that his constant scratching and biting at his skin had caused his glands to swell up......a far cry from lymphoma! at any rate, he had his surgery and had one of his glands removed and the other is starting to go down now as well, and he is certainly a much happier cat for all of it.

so with all this stuff going on i was wiped out emotionally....but now things all seem to be back in place and, fingers crossed, all the drama is done for a while....so i spent a nice week in london...relaxing and spending time with friends.

that puts me several weeks behind in replying to comments and fav's and looking at other people's work too....so i apologise for the lack of response from me....

I don't think i'll be able to catch up..so i'll just have to start from scratch.....my deviation inbox has never been so full....my comment inbox, not so much so i will at least try to catch up on comments...but it may be a while before i get around to visiting your sites!



We've got a new chronicle released this week over at neo.. C28ddities. Stop by and take a peak. It's a rather small release this time, but there is definitely some work worth seeing...including a tapestry collaboration. One person started the tapestry by making a 800x600 piece...they then chopped off the last 150 pixels on the right hand side and passed the 150x600 pixel piece on to the next person who added another 650 pixels to make a new 800x600 piece....the process went on until everyone who wanted to participate made a piece and then the pieces were all stitched together to make a tapestry which has turned out very odd indeed!  The tapestry was a lot of fun to work on.



I'm starting a new course at uni this month which lasts until march...this means I will still be busy with school, but I'm hoping that this course isn't nearly as intensive as the last one...
I took about 500 photos in london...i'm no where near done processing them, but you can see them and other photos as well at my flickr site.
