I’m in a pretty dark place so I’m deleting the app for now.

I would like to beat up Ja Morant.

I think I’m finally starting to find purpose in creating again after deciding to give up freelancing. Or maybe I’m conceding that a wider purpose needn’t be found within art at all? I didn’t know what to do with all my intense focus when art just became something else for me to do.

If you would like to help, please share!

I’m happy it’s cold and my husband is a very soft heater but I get too comfy and fall asleep :( Except I’m sick this morning and had to get out of bed. :/ I’ll hug him when I feel better and try not to doze. For now, I will tell him he’s cute just in case he forgot. :)

Up sick this morning yay I ate something funny I am sure. Doesn’t help that the desert plants I’m allergic to keep growing and thriving with the amount of rain we’ve been getting, and that also means I can’t make it to get my allergy shot today lolol. 🙃

My creative hobbies offer me peace and goals to work towards that are fulfilling. Cats keep blessing my patio by walking along the fence. I like to cook comfy meals, and I get appreciation and love back from my diners lol. I love my husband. I love my family. I am loved in return. Good shit.

I’m having a lot of negative emotions surrounding the new year. Yeah :/

I usually don’t show journal pages, but the middle is coming out cute and contemplative in less of a “my existence is misery” kind of way and more like a curiosity about my potential to find peace. This spread is slightly sad though, about imagining a lovely place I can’t visit for now. #artjournal

Merry Christmas everyone!

I know I’ll watch at least some of the NBA Christmas games, so please refs don’t ruin everyone’s holiday.

I have procrastinated preparing dinner for long enough. I am simply, too hungry. That would make a good romance book title. (Softly) I am simply… “…TOO HUNGRY!💕” with me exhausted on a daybed with the shadow of a buff rack of ribs looming over my lace draped figure.

NBA is unwatchable I’m not making an attempt at the moment, just still mad about obvious gambling and terrible refereeing last game I watched. How can you fuck up and set both teams back on the same play???? Usually one team benefits from bad call/no call, but NBA refs are like “fuck everybody”

I dream of a tower i cannot reach.

I used to think I knew what sadness was I was wrong

Like 2025, in 2026 I’m going to focus on learning skills instead of completing projects. New embroidery stitches and crochet patterns each month. I have three goals/year so there is room for another. I can’t think of an art goal :/

And it has been done. #conanexiles #conanoc #thralloc #oc #ocsky #ocart

She’s too little. Pattern: youtu.be/j8BPmEoES5s?...

Sometimes I draw women with big traps because I have superfluous, bilateral cervical ribs and I used my body as reference quite a bit when younger. I only found out recently that my spine and ribs were a little funky. It’s painful 🙃 Here’s a sad post art tax included.

IUD - :-) Cervix - “Awww nah what the FUUUUCK is THIIIIIIIIIIS??! I must expel it!” The cramps were the second worst pain I’ve ever experienced just behind extruding disc. Except it was more frequent :/

*screams of suffering*

Uber and Lyft making me late to work by constantly giving me different drivers who are “closer” I’m feeling more able to travel by bus and probably will be doing so soon. 40 minutes later and no pick up.

So I decided to try and make an actual good drawing from yesterday’s sketch. I like where it’s going. This time I’ll use liquid ink to avoid smudging. I miss feeling like putting in effort. That’s what two years of failed paintings will do. Everything feels futile, but I’m trying.

Yesterday was frustrating. I had planned a day of crafting and kept ruining everything. I eventually gave up and made a comfort drawing. I want to try and make a finished version of this since I like it so much. Sad ink smeared on her face but oh well. #inkdrawing #inksketch

WIP Wednesday: NEW micro-crochet earrings are coming to the shop this week! I just need to get the details up, take product pics, and post the listing on Ko-fi 😮‍💨 DM to preorder, shipping to the US (and CA by request) - $50 plus shipping 🧚🏽‍♀️

Progress shot of the latest #embroidery! I always find depicting water reflections to be an interesting challenge, and it’s a bit part of this one.

"Tilly is in the Garden Again" My second completed "fabric collage" (don't know what to call them). I spent a nice amount of time stitching various things this year, and I am happy to finally have made an object I am proud of. I also made the crochet flower appliques. #stitching #collage

Here's a holiday themed knit I've enjoyed making several times: Snowman & Tree by Susan B. Anderson from her Topsy Turvy I side-Out Knit Toys. I always end up gifting it, so I still don't have one for me. #ShowMeYourKnits holiday knits

I made chrimby cards for my parents and sister 😊

I’m going to stumble a bit trying to figure out how to be active on social media again. I need to follow more people for sure. I am so out of practice socializing and am very anxious about it. :/

I made the cutest fabric collage but I have to finish the backing. I hand stitched everything and I’m so proud. Photos coming soon ☺️

Day 9 #ArtAdventCalendar • This #embroidery work combines #anatomy and #symptomatology into #SciArt. Here is body map (2016), in which I stitched my neurological #MECFS symptoms freehand as I felt them.

I set up a hobby bullet journal in the middle of this year. I didn’t have any hopes it would help my creative funk, which doesn’t make sense because my bullet journal has always been beneficial. So I grumpily set it up and hit my goals and filled it out, and it’s time to do another.

Help a disabled writer out until I can get client work in the new year? #HelpSky #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2025

#ArtAdventCalendar day 4 Playing with colors on this one. #watercolor

My second embroidery sampler(?). I also stitched some crochet flowers to the bottom with the cutest buttons. Detail shot of my favorite section included. You can see some struggle lol, but I’m happy with it. 136/150 hrs down for my 2025 stitch goal. #embroidery #stitching

Sometimes, a person will say the most ridiculous take in all seriousness that it takes me multiple attempts to finish their statement. This is how I feel about dating advice. I will not elaborate, lest I get to preaching.
