I like to paint animals. I also make a lot of things. Really just like working with my hands.
I'm on the home stretch of my cowltopus! I just had to rip back 6-ish rows because I missed a twist and my shells weren't shelling 😭. Back on track now. It's been freezing out and I can't wait to wear this!

I've been in an art rut lately (this whole year?) but a person I'd done past commissions for reached out to me about another. Of course I said yes. Look at this magnificent boy named Cheddar.

This was a fun drawing exercise! "Draw your face, but from an upside down photo." I'm trying to get back into a draw everyday habit.

It's been raining for over a week here. It's finally time to get some sun! I actually started my plants on time this year. Lookit these babies. 🥹 Pictured here are amish paste tomatoes, two kinds of cucumber, and I'm trying onions for the first time.

The daffodils are up! I was gifted 300 (!) bulbs a few years ago from my late grandmother-in-law. I'm so happy to have such a lovely reminder of her in the spring.

Crocuses have emerged! I'm always so excited to see these darlings. As a side note - I'm looking into getting an electric wood chipper/leaf shredder. I've got piles of sticks/leaves that I'd like to turn into mulch. Anyone have recommendations? Or talk me out of it?

Tried winter sowing this year and I have babies! These are lettuce and bok choi seedlings planted with seeds I saved last year. I've got a bunch more in bags and rotisserie chicken containers (was experimenting with every container). I'm most excited for the native perennials coming up!

My
#adhd
craft moment yesterday. Learning to weave a tapestry! I really enjoyed this and I'd definitely like to do more. This one was made from whatever I could find in my craft supply pile. A wooden picture frame warped with crochet thread. The weft is acrylic yarn.

I finally decided to make the Timbó Vest
ravel.me/timbo-vest
. I'm knitting this with half frogged yarn that I don't have enough of. You can see where I started with the ramen noodle yarn. Fingers crossed it blocks out! Hopefully I can find yarn in a similar weight to finish it.

Chives! Also some nice moss. I'm so excited that it's warming up. I'm sitting outside for the first time in a while and it's SO nice! I've also been poking around my garden beds and noticed that there's some random spinach sprouting 😂. I'll have to keep an eye on that!

We got to the vet super early so Quill and I hung out in the car listening to an audiobook. I think she liked the heated seats 😊

My latest ADHD craft obsession is
#SockKnitting
. I recently finished ✨three✨ pairs that had been abandoned for... probably years. Wearing these ones now and I think the fit is finally spot on. I'm liking this fleegle heel the best so far.

When it's cold you gotta snuggle. The cat in the back is my almost 20 yr old Quill. She has never wanted to hang out with other cats. Her new brother, Franky (2), likes to "share" her heat pad.

It's a good time to mend some socks! A friend gifted me these lovely handknit socks and I ended up wearing holes in them. A little swiss darning and they are wearable again! (I noticed more thin spots on the pink one that I'll need to fix)

Nothing like last minute gift making! I've been planning this painting for... way too long now. I need to gift it in 4 days so my brain is finally allowing me to make it. Yay, ADHD 😐 Anyone else scrambling to finish? The early stages of

This is a cat named Goose! I loved painting him and feel like this was the first one that I really nailed the 'realistic' colors. I haven't painted much recently, maybe because I'm bored? I want to get back painting more colorful style animals. Lemme see your pets and maybe I'll paint them!

I feel like I'm knitting with muppet yarn. There is only one person in the world I'm willing to knit with this for. And she's going to LOVE this neck warmer when it's done! Just gotta make it through...

What do you all do when you hit an art slump? Sometimes I go to redditgetsdrawn and paint random pets to test out new ideas. Here’s cute cat I painted a while back.

Frogs! I like these guys. There are always lots of them in my yard so, I can get good reference photos. The top one is a pickerel frog and the bottom one is a wood frog. I've seen some really interesting color variations on the wood frogs. Might have to paint a series...

Hi! I’m new here. I like to paint animals. I’m looking for social media that doesn’t suck. Hopefully the adhd will accept this dopamine! Here’s a rainbow tiger I painted a couple of years ago.
