Get Vecna’d. 💀🕷️

I’m getting increasingly fed up with this rug. I love the design but it’s not made with enough stiffness so it gets crumpled up like this constantly. It has done this in every spot I’ve had it, no matter how anchored it is under furniture. 😤 I need a hard plastic floormat to go under my chair.

Drawing cute things… 🌿🌷🍄

Sending some of my recents out to grace your feed again, hopefully it makes your Monday a little better! I’m getting back into my routine today, I’m still on winter break one more week but I’ll be opening January commissions this Friday and I need to start prepping for that.

Coming all the way out my comfort zone because I have been dying to make some sorta art for Stranger Things. I knew I needed to strike while the iron was hot or it would never get done.

A faerie chrysalis adopt I made a couple years ago that was never purchased. I’ve had a few of these stashed in a folder since then and I’ve decided to use them finally. So this one will be a new character I’m debuting this month!

Sparklies 🤩 I can’t resist a sparkly. More suncatcher stuff, I need to start making some new ones.

Year of the Horse 🐴 🦄 I got lotsa those. :3 (Granted mine are all the unicorn variety but I reckon those still count!) Euphoria Eden Seamus Arabella

Went to spend a gift card only to find out my sense of smell is at about 10% right now, my allergies wrecked it. 🥲

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year! 🥂 We’re staying in tonight, gonna catch the Stranger Things finale and go to bed at a reasonable time because that’s what you do when you’re our age. lol (Pic is unrelated just wanted something visual up here.)

Sketching some new art nouveau frames.

Happy New Year!!! Thank you all for sticking with me through this crazy and hectic year of moving from California to Sweden. I hope 2026 will be much more relaxing and filled with more art! #HappyNewYear #HappyNewYear2026

So I’m kinda on vacation right now and not really making art, but I am starting to plan for my January queue. I’d really like to start using more of these scrapbook things so I’m gonna see what I can come up with for you!

At some point in the last month the neighbors got a second dog and I swear it never ever stops barking. It’s like they just leave him outside all day and he just barks at nothing because he’s bored. Why get a dog just to treat it like lawn furniture?

I’ve gone down a nostalgia rabbit hole for books and toys I had as a small child in the 80’s, and I think I see where my fondness for bright vivid illustrations comes from. I’m looking at this art now and just appreciating how detailed it is, and likely traditional art too. We were so lucky!

First piece: “Sapphira” Favorite piece: “Immortal Garden” Most Popular: Regal Wisteria” Most Recent: “Wrapped up in Ribbons” Thank you for another amazing year! 🌿🌷🌻🍄🌸🪻🍄‍🟫🍁🌲

This cool looking fungus growing all over one of the trees in my mom’s yard. I’m trying to nail down the identification but I’m not sure if it’s a slime mold or white rot fungus.

*Tabled at TTFC *Finally went to the dentist after 30 years, got wisdom teeth pulled *Got comfy on Bluesky *Started a YouTube channel for my Vintage Story content *Made lots of suncatchers *Did jury duty for the first time *Made tons of art 2026 goal: GET RATS 🐀

Oh joy, the weather changed too fast so now I get to enjoy allergy crud for the next few days. Hardly got any sleep lastnight because of post nasal drip making me feel like I was choking. Finally took something to dry it up and slept but throat still feels swollen. 😩

Yesterday’s haul. 😁 Had a great day with family, got stuffed on food and enjoyed the 70* weather we had. Unfortunately the dragon injured himself playing football, he’s torn something in his calf and can barely walk so now we have that to deal with. He’s gonna go see a doc today.

Merry Christmas everyone, have an amazing day!

Bonus: a little video to go with it. ♥️

🎄♥️ Merry Christmas! ♥️🎄 My final piece for 2025, I gift you all with Maraschino! 😊 I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, no matter how you spend it. I’m not sure which I’m more excited for, Christmas morning or the day after because of Stranger Things 5 part 2 coming out. lol

In case you missed this…

Signal boost. 🤓

My new glasses finally came in. I had them order the same frames but the prescription is slightly stronger. Staring at my phone so much makes it a struggle to look far away and not go cross eyed, these new ones help with that.

Art Summary for 2025! I was going to wait and post this closer to new years but nah, you can have it now. ^.^ I am still working on one more piece for this year, but I’m taking a nice 3-week break before I dive into the first queue of 2026. I have some ideas and plans that I’ll reveal soon!

Just a peek. ;)

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

It only took us a week but we finally got the tree decorated. 🎄 It’s a scrappy little Virginia Pine, full of sharp needles and sap!

❄️ Happy Yule/Winter Solstice! It’s gonna get cold and dark for a while as nature rests, but remember after tonight, the days start getting a little bit longer again.

The final spread, all done for this year! And now that I’ve been grazing all day I want nothing to do with any more sugar for the day. 😋

Chocolate covered peanut butter ritz sandwiches and peanut butter filled pretzels. 🥨 🤎🤍

Worm. 🐛 (I SWEAR ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! lol)

Today is our annual Christmas cookie baking party. This is last year’s spread - expect pics of sugary delight later today. ;)

My husband and I needed something to watch while we wait for volume 2 of Stranger Things 5, so we decided to finally watch Tiger King. My gods these people are/were nut jobs, every single one of them. It’s like a contest to see who can be the most awful. I see why this show was popular though. 😅

My mom will confirm this: I started coloring on the walls and in my books as soon as my little hands could grip a crayon. It was just something I was born with, you might as well be asking a fish why it swims. 😊

Draw it once, trace it twice… Working on a big 11x14” piece and just did this sunflower framing, it needs to be mirrored on the other side. So I’ll trace it once onto another paper, flip it, and then trace it again back to the art page. And then I have to ink it, so 2 more times over those lines.🤪

First pass for inks. She’ll get one more outline as color goes on; I used to do that part first but some colors really like to smudge.

Feeling a bit rusty but starting on a holiday pinup of Maraschino to warm up today. Back to work!

All hail the Winter Court! ❄️☃️❄️ We’re in below freezing temps this morning, winter is definitely coming. Gonna go pick out our Christmas tree today though! 🌲🌲🎄🌲🌲

My reward for getting through this past week. 😁

Holy crap....this is a Pumpkin toadlet and it is the best
