Turnstyle McQs Hearty Creation
Hi There welcome to my Turnstyle McQs Blog, chat natter about what I have been creating and what inspires me to create, most of the time it is inspiration from the heart, and let’s face it we all have a heart, and well it is too good not to share with your heart.
My Love in Life came from strolling on the beach back some 6 years ago in Blackpool at the time, I stumbled into it for good reason because immediately I picked it up and did lots of research to get where I am today, no one in there right mind will say it’s easy having a business especially one that’s created by you I have grown so much it’s an inside job first and foremost and shows on the outside of you.
I only now have a deeper understanding of life and value and worth and that all comes from you valuing yourself first knowing that you are born worthy how when I moved to Scotland I realized I felt guilty, yes guilty because I didn’t think I was worthy of living in such a beautiful place, let’s say the universe gave me some extra lessons to learn and while they were rather very uncomfortable I now know it was for me to have a greater appreciation of myself and to have real gratitude in all my life from my little white cottage, the scenery, my cute doggies, my lovely Adrian and his immense support for all I do.
So if you have a business always love and value and appreciate how far you have come and if not imagine you already doing it while taking action too.
Which kind of leads me to want to assist others further in life such as online courses assisting learning and looking after yourself as you Turnstyle your life too mainly art and well any heartfelt assistance in overcoming the lies you say about yourself me included.
Please feel free to get in touch and will do my best to assist even for a natter from the heart, you too can turnstyle Your Life and be the best version of you.
Not a destination simply growth togather

Easdale Island Catch Up
Oh, My daisies I hadn’t realized it’s been since January that I last blogged! oopsie.
So guess I will fill you in so let me think !!
Roxy daisy yes yes yes we got a dog a rescue one oh my days we got her in March and seriously this dog wants love she is love,so my proper beach buddy she past the test in the first week.
I did lots of inner growing and well it shows now hoooorah! so what’s been happening here at Turnstyle McQs well of course I reopened my art gallery which is in my little white cottage, I did quite a bit of sculptures through the early spring of this year, and I created more little white cottages as momentos which you can order in my online shop here.
I had 2 excursions with the safari here at Easdale, the wildlife sea tour, and a trip to Iona again which by the way both had my heart singing to near bursting!
we had Coal Day! which is bulk delivery of coal on the island then we set a day with our wheelbarrows all assisting in taking it to each cottage and the art exhibition here on the island same time and space.
A joy to see my daughter and grandson after a year with the moves from Blackpool to Oban then this island and settling here it’s been about 17 months now, and while there I had a door open I went to Manchester collaborating with other artists in a different form through art healing the heart in a day of Cacao ceremony, dance, creativity poetry, and an amazing hearty singer .more to come of this we are setting talks creating the new for a better world.
Now drum roll ……if you please hahaha…… I had a story intuitively received at my last abode to do as a story but I sat on it and since more recently it bubbled forth once more to make it as a puppet show, so I am currently on with my puppet show for children will say more about that in my next blog!
oh and forgot had a camera crew here 2 months ago to share with the world our beautiful Island and its magic and of course, the art gallery I believe Richard from Tern is in the final editing, I have to say I was nervous but also knew it was a great way of my own personal growth, Richard was a total pro and put me at ease straight away and well Matt I think the other man was called well we all had so much fun, joy, and laughter trying our hands at skimming stones seen as we have World Skimming Championships here which yes was on last weekend!
What else well I’m currently making my puppet show I am aiming for the end of October to get it done, it’s aimed at children but will chat more about that in my next blog vlog.
Much gratitude to every single soul whom I have had a heart connection with in my little white Cottage Gallery here on the Magic of Easdlae Island!
Thank you to all the angelic realm for love light and inspiration!
Also, I have a new profile and new business page plus not forgetting I’m on YouTube and tik tok now and about to go back on Instagram but feel free to check YouTube and subscribe as it gets me seen more, and well I have a lot of my puppet show on there in form of small timelapse videos.

Easdale Island My New Book (Grief)
Pop Goes the Weasel
Pop goes the weasel {does it in my mouth} and what a weasel he was, I mean I do see the lessons and how some relationships help you grow but he also was a weasel.
One would say a bit of a shit!!!
Opinions everyone has one and likes to give there two pennies worth on the advice Richter scale except when you’re
Deceased husband dies, especially when they are fresh dead, you know still a little warm but not quite cold either, lukewarm…
Thought be a good idea to share the funny aspects that happen the process of death to funeral and smile a bit too much.
You’re in the room of the hospital although to be frank is a glorified death cell let’s face it. you’re sat there praying holding space heart wide open, the last words are “I Love you”, “you Love me” should have tried bloody harder then …
I mean at what point do you realise that drinking yourself to death is Love, it’s simply a slow suicide and not much bloody fun, well it is while doing it but keep thinking it be okay eventually well hey you kept ignoring the signs and well the ultimate. rant over so I’m still here by the hospital bed and I’m sat looking at this heart monitor and it’s going down very quickly I have no clue I thought if I blow it, it might go back up funny the subliminal things you do.
The monitor looks very much like the crypto red candle, green candle and either way if you haven’t put stops losses on, you’re fooked it’s the Same feeling of dread.
When it clicks with you what’s going on its proper weird had lots of weird, but this was a bit like the twilight zone, everything slowed down time and space well not existing which makes you feel like your soul popped out your body because it couldn’t take the heat .in fact it was the deceased that’s soul buggered off into Narnia, never ending story land.
After sobbing like a wailing banshee for 2 hours I compose myself and decided I really don’t like hospitals so it’s time to go, except feels rather weird going into the hospital on a Thursday and only recently taken the l plates off having mastered it from curb bashing and well nearly killing the bugger myself to taking the wheelchair and clothes.
Shrapnel people keep the strangest stuff I mean three one pennies, whatever luck they were supposed to bring (it ain’t working), a snotty tissue thankfully dry ish ,crystals (again not working),keys ,phone, wallet that had a fiver in it lucky me no an old one ,gathering the clothes before they run out that smelled of the disinfectant and lurking sweat smell lurking beneath the radar.
I leave the room with my wheelchair in tow looking like that mad woman you know the one in the street who has a pram with no one in it, anyhow I walk along the hospital corridor having been like that friend you don’t keep in touch with there nice enough like but I would rather chat on the phone anyway I’m out here…
Finally gets to other end of the corridor which actually is like a marathon work out feeling raw ,but have this funny laughter starting on the inside of me at the irony of this wheelchair and going down the escalator not like anyone’s in it and going to fall out other than the manky clothes and lack of a body sitting in it .another hurdle was the Turnstyle doors or them roundabout doors with a traffic light system no one adheres to. And when they do step in it too soon your buggered and look like a flat faced fish.
Gasped fresh air oh the joy and sunny although not such a sunshine kind of day I find my car as everything’s a blur and honestly quite literally in zombie mode and have not the faintest clue how I actually did get home to my flat, backtracking like you do slightly ,hats off to them women who close buggies in one hand ,I mean lets face it this adult wheelchair means shag all shit to me and so decided it wanted to fight with me upon pushing, squeezing and kicking it all the way into the car and my temper needing to get the better of me and then me going oh were does that emotion come from ….oh do fuck off !!, a fun reminder of the film Highlander honestly it is how I looked too proper snot dribbling psycho looking “There will be only one winner!
Hoooraaaah!!! It’s in the boot.
Home
Helllooo!!! ….as if someone would answer ?? bloody hell after the collapsing of the wheelchair that would be up there if I got an answer, I shit you not. I highly deserve a nice brew although I’m sure most would want a stiff harsher drink than a cuppa but that kind of is the point to this pop situation it was too much pop, it’s the kind of drink that makes your inside body into a gloopy soup then you sick it all up out your mouth on passing over till you finally pop.
I know sounds funny and harsh the above but hey if it makes one more person stop that poison in the name of having a good time with family and friends, or one for the road, or new job, hard day, I need to relax excuses, I’m all for celebrating life but come on do healthy stuff. it’ll pop you in the end.
Feelings
Not one to be skipped, cry your absolute arss off as this is a great release. after crying from all the stored emotions of your body ,journal it out, music and dance and simply let go let go .
I personally wanted to heal having witnessed another’s grieving and I set the intention I would feel everything all the hurt the stored-up emotions, the funny times over a long duration like you do, laugh oh my days I laughed, and it broke all the crying up let’s face it at one point I was looking like rocky balboa from Rocky movie.
Arranging The Pop Funeral.
Arranging the pop funeral so here’s the thing after going through music that night which was rather pleasant got lost in the singing and realised, I best crack on.
The hospital did give me this booklet it wasn’t a good read you know were you sit and enjoy I nice cuppa cocoa and pjs on blanket over top kind booklet that encapsulates you, for all I know you might be feeling that of this book, but you know what I’m no author or writer.
It popped up in my heart and simply had to share why not chat about the funny side of it ,for all I know right now there might be some other poor bugger going through it and if it helps or comforts or give a little light entertainment even for 5 mins then hey job done, nothing like a good belly laugh ,or better still a drinker who decides to stop now don’t go saying oh I don’t drink everyday that doesn’t make me an alcoholic ,it bloody does it so does if you can not live a month without sticking a drink in your mouth its question time for self .
I digress a bit and I realise I can’t find my mobile it’s either that or my glasses always going a drift there it is!
GOOGLE… yes, I did I so did good old google.
How to arrange a funeral? Yep I so did, google bang on with as much information as possible ...oh this ones perfect for me google bang on actually this one is best clear, concise, job done, anything close you would have lost me.
Wiki how to arrange a funeral… no you didn’t oh yes, I did I tell you no shit this had step by step too, walk you through it what could go wrong eh!
Another Day in Zombie Paradise.
I gets a call (ring ring ring I always check who’s phoning) oh it’s the chap from hospital mortuary department ever so friendly, so he has a conversation about a body like you know and was helpful till he said we hold the body (eye roll )
I mean hold the body what literally? No, I have no clue what came out but was rather jovial, he said Noo we hold the body in the mortuary for 7 days a week to be precise.
What then? Well, the funeral parlour will take him from there, I’m having a moment of thinking what’s he going to have short back and sides a nice pedicure while in there arrange they take body at their end.
oh, right funeral parlour Oh right got you now
A brief conversation but I had to laugh, and certain laughing wasn’t the best idea.
Ha I mean what they going to do if you don’t arrange the parlour to pick up body in 7 days, make a raft out of driftwood, got loads of that, tie with rope , stick body on ,aim fire with fire bolting fire driven arrow set out to sea like the Vikings did back in the day.
Honestly you can’t make this shit up had to laugh though. I did manage to get a funeral parlour sorted via face ache social media from my arty friend’s recommendation proper clever I am.
Anyway that’s that sorted after much conversations, crying, laughing, shitting, yes shitting I know body is releasing a lot of emotions not fussy are they at a lot of shitting. that and dealing with dick head family who are not mine
Arty community/family
Next day was asked by Dawn to go for coffee to our amazing art community and family at Hive which is a coffee house in Blackpool run by 2 amazing heart centred chaps
It’s a great venue and these chaps who own Hive do so much for there community including hosting arty big and small exhibitions and fares.
If I’m honest I was rather dreading it seeing everyone first time out after well you know, but it was big knicker time in for a penny in for a pound.
Saw Dawn first one of our arts curators who turned round kind of gobsmacked me in a good way.
Remember most people have an opinion except when you lost a loved one, then they hide for cover.
Dawn …you relieved then? erm… yes kind off yes actually yes
May seem out of the ordinary but nothing like a women in her own truth and saying her truth, she’s an absolute diamond full of unconditional love and maturity, Kates there two the other curator lovely ladies so wonderful to have there kindness and support.
I’m sure I had almost lived at the Hive that week. I sound like I’m advertising them and yes because they were good to me and everyone else too.
Heloooo.. home again still no answer it’s how I got through hat first week at least well that and angels now if you don’t believe in them fine well I do and quite frankly would not have got through life without them either, even now there my rock, the month to come they helped me release old stagnant energies that don’t go to the light ,better than what everyone else suggested all sorts of hocus pocus from my witchy friends back then ,I woke up having no clue what I was doing and asked archangel Michael clapped hands whoosh and gone ,so grateful and thankyou ,all sorts of clarity prompts and what to do.
Meanwhile while it looked like I was living the high life suddenly and swanning for afternoon high tea and living it large (that’s to come later as I find out, but at this point you do not know how your life really does turn and change and life is to live).
Between coffee and home, it was conversations and my internal inner work and dialogue.
Laughter is the best!
Decided to watch a bit of Peter Kay I was guided to watch deep down and hey going with the flow too.
Boy am I ready for a giggle, well it’s not all crying and don’t stay down that slope your bloody awesome and days do get better like 100% better .and your awesome!!!
Peter Kay gets me before he even cracks a joke and love how he uses every day life and examples, guess he’s relatable really so what better than finding his one on funeral, nothing like a good belly laugh, so its Peter Kay Guess who died ?Live at the Bolton Albert Halls on tuba loob my nick name for you tube .proper laugh needed and I so did and so will you .
Celebrant -Celebration Chico time
Still answering calls feels like I made some new friends even if for a week or two, celebrant calls me to say could I answer some questions on his life and basically get the whole low down on him ,and I to send it via what’s app ,what’s app like what happened to good old fashioned email ,it’s not like I was going to get a big red book off Eammon Andrews this is your life anytime soon !
This Is Your Life! I crack on with it anyway I remember loads of his funny stories and the childhood friends filled the rest in from when he was younger, much gratitude chaps, so had to wait on them too.
All information in between that and going back and forth thankfully got some amazing funny and wild accounts of his childhood antics, I set about transferring all this copy and paste to this celebrant what’s app I was still doing my last message sent till about 2.30 am had no choice he had a deadline excuse the pun.
Most of the time I was on phone arranging, answering daft questions that don’t matter anymore and waiting on paperwork.
Hive and arranging the send-off, Bash!
Being bothered by cheap food that Jonathan was a total snob on, that and his weird addictions, I know really did not matter but why oh why do we insist on having a bash at all? most who go are in it for the free nosh like they are when they go to a wedding anyway.
Conversation between me and David one of the owners of Hive.
David
So, what is it you want Lisa? Although he knew at this point but wanted to know what food etc.
Me
well obviously, there is us arty tribe and a few friends’ family coming up.
Me and David
Yes we chat about there fabulous canopies and stuff, oh and the sausage rolls I goes not them cheap ones them pork and leek ones he likes (them posh ones) almost like saying posh makes them posher that word has no relevance on the food other than maybe better, quality is what maybe expressed, oh and your wonderful canopies too sorted, I must admit these days what with the meat eaters, vegetarian, and vegan it gets all confusing.
Don’t make me Larf!!!i mean I’m putting on a spread of food for someone who aren’t going to be there, it’s like having a birthday bash or wedding bash and they flat refuse to go (excuse the pun).
Oh, this and swing by the funeral parlour with his clothes, a cross, and his mums picture watch and no I did not see him, I have no idea why you would either.
Everything is Set
Everything is set I also had to get a dress from tkmaxx a cheap white one and I came up with a creative surge of an idea of getting 3 of his shirts and jeans cut butterflies and stitched them all on, my version of pimping my dress up or bedazzled both not the best description for a creative deceased lased dead man’s clothes on dress, it took a while that actually took two nights though ,
Well I, it wasn’t any ordinary pop funeral anyway it was required for all to wear rainbow colourful clothing and who better to pull that look off than a load of not right oddities of arty community friends and family pull this cool look off there all unique in every way possible .
They are the kind of family to have to a funeral a vibrant one at that.
Pop Day
Arrived by my own car to Pop funeral parlour picking up 3 of my great arty soul sister artists (super talented too).
Had a quick fag break outside I know seems hypocritical but hey stopped since. Time to go in looked like I was going to a party and my 3 amazing friends too all looking super stylish colourful too.
It hit me a little went into the parlour having walked past the car, it’s not a limo like they have in the movies like a movie star kind of car ,I smile I have no idea why / but I do this its like a nervous thing I do and my face quite expression ate too and does not lie it tells you everything and this day was no exception a big bonkers smile ,I mean really !
We arrive at the crem de le crem I mean crematorium not emporium.
And more friends there from Blackpool, and his best friend came and the other friend oh my days I forgot the deceased in question said that I thought his wife was boring rather a long time ago so I wasn’t received too well from this in fact he looked quite venomous although he kindly was a pall bearer .
It was true although I wasn’t quite so cutting of course don’t gossip about anyone it hurts others journal it out reason it out .
So, no pleasantries there today although the celebrant did say I kept him awake till 2.30 am from what’s app, that’s why email is quitter no noise hellooo…service went well however.
Off to Hive I know another bloody coffee the alternative is being in a coffin!!
This was basically chit chat food a catch up with friends then home, ready to face my life alone!!
Or so I thought.
A year later went to beach with his ashes and it backfired all over me.
What I learned? from everything lessons are growth Love self and others unconditionally everything is an inside job.
Live Life in present moment
Forgive self and others
Gratitude for everything.
Laugh
Love
Since this I have a completely new life!
Still Growing independently too!
I would be very grateful for energy exchange of donate if you recieved a bit of a laugh
Easdale Island The Good Life! Love In The Community.
Whooopeeedooo wow so today was the day another family moved there belongings to the Island as they moved here first.
However thought you would like to see another move they had 3 boat trips and yes you guessed it the unconditional Love of the Islanders here , again with wheelbarrows and a little cart here on the Island .
Bless wasn’t the best start as was shedding it down with rain, but there are still lots of hands on deck to help our new neighbours .
what a lovely family and look forward to getting to know them more.
Anyhoo here is a short video and a photo .
Easdale Island The Good Life!Reuse Recycle free cabinet.
Easdale Island is a much loved and magical place full of love from this communtiy .
So we have a private Islander messenger and so saw this cabinet as you can see form the pictures its rather tatty but hey! treasure is treasure right .
I see the beauty in all things and this is no different ,i mean i would have loved to preserve the wood but had not much time for that and was feeling that my items would look better rather than wood on wood i know as i have tried this .
Anyhooo ….
so after collecting it on my wheelbarrow me and my lovely boyfriend i set about hoovering it first all the cobwebs.
After that as i didn’t explain in the video as such i used a mix of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar ,scraped the top as it was quite grim and grimy then set about cleaning it and was rather dirty ,but brought alot of it off .
I will be honest i needed a quick turn around and would highly recommend sanding it down to key it .
Chalk paint white i got a 750ml tin from homebase was reduced hoooraaah! so actually only cost £7.50 to change this beauty .
There is a piece of wood that was cut out and i am waiting once the rain stops to pick it up from another Islander, some plywood to fix this however for now i have used two lids from my boxes to put me on .
So living on an Island is about giving and recieving too and an open mind to all that is.
feel free to check out my goodies too my art in here on with some new stuff too pretty soon and the shop is doing rather well .
So grateful an idea over night it shows what you can do when you don’t allow a monkey mind set and a heart full of love for self and others …..
and funny thing happened when i brought the cabinet in i had left the door open and was actually closed yesterday ,well i do need a day off !balance is key .
Customers were walking in the house ahahaha and ended up with more sales unexpected ,super gratful like too .
An idea a vision become reality in flow when you trust.

Easdale Island The Good Life! pop up Art Gallery
After meditation the other night it bubbled forth as i sat in my creative room ,my eureka moment …
Why not turn my room into a shop art gallery ,well it makes sense there are no shops galleries or gift shops on the Island ,and it’s a way of generating some cash flow till i build more on line too.
I mean i already have everything to do it ,i have my art and sculptures ,a table and i’m kitted out to do it so hey voila!
So i already made a start on little white cottages a bit of a signature of the Island and they are rather cute.
Got loads of ideas since being here a renewed creative vigour ,this and my allotment which i must crack on with my shed once more.
This room my boyfriend disliked as it rather lacked any form of life ,a total square, grey carpet,white walls and a tiny window ,it simply shows you what you can do in turning a lack lustre room to such creative Love and vibrancy of colour.
Here in my vlog you can see for yourself anyway.
Not forgetting i have a group i share my journey with others and we exchange ideas too.

Easdale Island The Good Life! Communtiy Coal Day
Like a storybook scene from the pied Piper all following with our wheelbarrows.
A white t-shirt and early morning jog wasn’t the best thing to do before Community Coal Day being, anyhoo so yes i forgot ,actually in my defence i never know what day or time we are on its what happens in present moment .
Having only met a few on our arrival on the Island today we certainly got the chance to meet most of the Island community and a joy they all are ,well it’s not like there’s a herd of us, having said that today oh the joys so it was really rather well organised the ferry man long standing community member checked all paper work no seperation here which was a joy to see all of us working really well together we all started full of zest and bags of energy ( haha you get it )and actually we had wheelbarrows ,we have a little buggy on site one of the neighbours other than that its wheelbarrow and brute strength ,i think we all did bloody amazing i’m so impressed by the unconditional love for one another here ,i shit you not it really has made me see how wonderful we beings can co-create together in unity and respect for one another .
Without further ado no point me rambling the pictures and videos have it all .
It was like we had actually been in the coal mines by the time we had finished and then finished off by pie and peas at a neighbours house with much gratitude to all who kindly gave love and there strength and time .
Easdale Island The Good Life! A Room With A View
Hellooo me hearties so it’s summer here and we have had glorious weather so far considering we live on an Island off the coast of Scotland Called Easdale Island if your not familar to my blog well now you know feel free to check out earlier blogs will fill you in on the island .

I have to say i love it after been a bit rocky with my art recently and had lost all will of why no one gets my art or purchases it so much i live in the hope others will see the value of what i do and how much love i have put into everything i make ,so this and a lovely message i woke up to this morning from a friend reminding me of what works i have done and achieved so far has ignited my passion and get up go and move forwards .
I didn’t video it all as i got plans to run some more courses ,i already have a course on driftwood and seashells and 3 art makes which is a step by step written and videos .
I Digress somewhat its all done from recycled paints and my own magic mixing plus some tester paint pots and some great pens i have in a vas array of colours imagination and boom .
