an artistic journey

A busy week

Wow. I started writing this on Friday and it’s Saturday… Oh, well!
And it’s August! Sheesh! Where did the summer go? This weekend is the kick-off of Art Unraveled and Joanne is in town. I’m heading out to see her in a while. It seems like just a few weeks ago I was meeting Joanne in [...]

Countdown to France

We’ve officially reached the 10-day countdown to our trip! Woo!
So, right now I’m at home getting my monthly IV my treatment so I can be “ready” for the trip with my balance, hopefully, AOK!
This week I did the usual running around to get as much done as possible before my treatment, since I never know [...]

Every Day in May #8

Today I didn’t have much time for drawing. I went to meet Angie for coffee this morning. She’s getting ready to leave on vacation for a week and we were both in need of a visit! Then I had a meeting with a woman who was interested in seeing the Baha. We met at 10:30 [...]

Chicago Report and Passover Preparations

This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time!
First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, The [...]

Chicago, Chicago….

Friday I got up very early. DH decided not to exercise, but was still up at 5:00-ish. So he jumped in the shower and turned on all the lights, ran the hair dryer, etc…
So, I got up and showered, dressed for a day of volunteering for Cochlear at the Devonshire Senior Center. They were having [...]

Back at the sewing machine

I’ve spent the past few days doing some sewing. It’s so nice to just play with fabric, fiber, and to hear the soothing sound of my sewing machine! I’ve been working, particularly, on a project for a friend. I made her a tote bag (right). I created the base with free motion stitching and then [...]

weekend recap and the start of a new week

It’s been a busy few days. This weekend I was still fending off the fatigue from Wednesday’s treatment. I was itching to get outside, so on Sunday, I think I overdid it. We drove my sister-in-law to the airport for her return to Maryland and then we came home for a short time. Soon after, [...]

About Hearing Implants

On Wednesday, I volunteered for Cochlear Americas. I don’t believe I’ve talked about this on the blog before, so let me give you some history.
I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a chronic illness called Auto-Immune Inner Ear Disease. I’ve talked about the vertigo and the treatment I’ve had; however, on my 21st birthday, [...]

Of health

I’ve been working hard the past week. I’ll share photos tomorrow, since I’m not planning to take photos this evening! I prefer the daylight background with my lighting. I have been working on some drawings and I have been creating some cell phone purses for my friend’s shop that will open later this [...]

  • What's This Blog All About, Anyway?

    I'm Fran Saperstein. I'm an artist and writer sharing my life with my wonderful husband, David. In this blog I will share some of the art I'm doing, tell you about how I live my life with chronic illness, and still maintain a positive life here in my Phoenix, AZ home studio. I'll share what I'm experimenting with, what I'm writing and even (beware!) what I'm thinking. I am always looking to try new things and to experiment. I'll share some of my experiments here. Email me.
