Happy Friday everyone! How are you doing? Ted says hi! I’m meeting with the author of the book I’m illustrating today and I’m having massive wobbles and imposter syndrome! 😬. I think being out it work for a while and having a chronic illness really affects your confidence. I think it’s the unpredictability of life. So now I have (very loose) deadlines to meet I get really nervous. Ted thinks I’m a twat and has told me to get over myself ! 👍🏼😄. Lisa x

This picture has got absolutely nothing to do with this post! ⠀ ⠀ But who doesn’t love a dog in a bow tie having a cappuccino ? 🤷‍♀️⠀ ⠀ Anyway I just wanted to hop on to say I’m having a really lovely creative time at the moment ; and managing to pace really well. ⠀ ⠀ I wanted to celebrate the achievements as well as the down days. ⠀ ⠀ I also wanted to thank this community for supporting me in my small business. Particularly those of you who have followed my other account and placed orders with me! You are amazing and I love you all!!! ⠀ ⠀ Having to give up my job was so hard but I get to do something I love now that fits around my condition. ... and for that I am truly blessed.

We made a cat catching device . 🎣 🐈

How does this pooch always know when I need cuddles? I’m very up and down at the moment due to some new medication I’m on. One moment I feel really good (almost unheard of) the next I feel nauseas and tired and really down. He’s always here right by my side and I love him. 🐶 x

A few weeks ago a did a giveaway to win one of my personalised illustrations. 🎨 ⠀ The lovely Rebecca won and this is the finished digital piece I did for her. Swipe left to see the original art work and my own illustration I did for myself. ⠀ ⠀ It was so nice to get to know Rebecca and find out all about what she loved. We really are more than our labels. ⠀ ⠀ If you’d like something similar you can visit my illustration page @topitscards. The originals make lovely Christmas presents.
