This is my pine cone pattern I showed recently on Instagram for @alexandrasillos #patternedthingsbyalex. It shows 2 pine cones angled across the page hanging from its branch of green fir leaves.
I recently bought my own CPAP sleep machine after about a month using a loaner machine. It comes with lifetime remote monitoring for a $90 fee. The sleep clinic keeps the reports I believe. I am really happy getting 7-8 solid hours of sleep, I have even started dreaming again and remembering my dreams. That would be my REM sleep that might have been compromised. I wake up looking fresh faced instead of looking like a wreck in the morning. Needless to say, I am one of the ones that are completely happy with the treatment.

Really beautiful Christine, you have talent! I still enjoy your little painting you made for me, it's on the bookcase next to the place I eat- Hugs, Valerie
It's amazing how we struggle with sleep as we get older. I often take sleep aids to ensure I sleep well.
I saw pine cone in many parking lots...
# Glad to hear you may sleep for 7-8 hours....perfect sleep
delightful painting dear Christine :)
totally unfamiliar thing to know for me ,i did not know that there exist some machine that helps with sleep
i am so happy for you my friend!
Well done, both the sketch and sleeping. It is so important. I continue to take meds for sleeping (Rx pot!). It really helps to sleep.
Your pine bough and cones are beautiful. You sure have enjoyed that challenge. Good to hear that your sleep is improving. I'm sure it does make a world of difference.
I've tried CPAP but all the hook ups keep me awake.
I remember that reindeer silhouette Valerie!
That is a nice pattern, Christine... And it's good you're remembering your dreams. I'd advise trying Lucid dreaming. With a little training, you can take control of your dreams. I've only been able to do it about 3-4 times since 2009, around which time I'd discovered it, but then again, I usually don't remember dreaming at all... 🙂
Beautiful drawing, Christine. Congratulations on getting 7-8 hours of solid sleep.
Glad it is going well! I would love 8 hours sleep!
Lovely pine cones too :-D

very nice the pine cones!!Very good your sleeping!!
greetings elke
Good sleep is so important. So glad you found a remedy. The pinecones are lovely. They remind me of the cabin in Tahoe that is surrounded by pine trees and pinecones a plenty.
Not sure who pays for them here. Depends on insurance I would guess
The govt pays about 40% and my insurance might pay some I will find out soon.
Glad to hear you have tight sleeps and good dreams.
Lovely artwork!
That is wonderful about your sleep. I'm so pleased this is working for you.
glad that the CPAP is working for you, can make a huge difference. I couldnt sue it, would panic with the mask over my face lol
Lovely art Christine.
I am so pleased to read that you are sleeping so much better.
Great news.
All the best Jan
