I am excited to share that my copy of this publication came in the mail today. I have my stroke journal featured on pages 58-61 of Somerset Studio Gallery Winter 2016. I created this journal last fall/winter and it was my first try creation post stroke. It follows 3-4 months of my recovery process. I am super thrilled to see it in print and think they did a gorgeous job laying it out for the magazine.

Thanks for letting me share it with you and thank you for being part of my cheering squad!

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

    Congratulations, dear Nancy! The journal is wonderful! You’ve been published a lot of times but I imagine that this feature is very special to you. Hopefully a lot of people who have suffered from a stroke or have other kinds of disabilities in their arms or hands will read it and get inspired.
    Have a creative weekend!

    Nancy, Your recovery story book spread is amazing. Congratulations on the great honour of being published in Somerset Studio (one of my favourite mags!). I especially LOVE the writing on the road. I had trouble reading the entry, but I’m guessing someone very dear to you did those words for you -what an inspiration of love. Your book looks absolutely beautiful, and is a real inspiration for others as a means to recovery, too. I’m sure that making the book itself has helped in your recovery

    I love visiting your blog to see your creative spirit at work.
    hugs,
    Jesse
