Someone suggested notebook/sketchbook covers, so those are on my mind. 🤔

I also found out I don't have a lot of red scraps.... i had to dig out some stash for the red block.

Red, orange, green and blue quilt blocks. They are pieced in a variety of rectangles and squares.

It's the little things: called on a surprise medical bill to make a very minimal payment, but the billing person said they wanted to double check the processing with the provider and moved the date out a few weeks.

Gives me some time to work out a plan. ;n;

Part prepping for Nov's art market, part getting myself to do *something* creative, part cleaning up my scraps.

Tote bags? Lap quilt? Something else? What would you want?

May your family find peace during this process. 💕

First thing i'm doing after I find a new job is booking a massage.

Had a membership for awhile and that was the best decision ever- my shoulders thanked me. 😭

don't fall for "it's too late to start learning that skill now" it's NEVER too late! you can start learning anything whenever! time isn't real! learn to sew, draw, woodwork, code! play an instrument! the world exists to be explored! learning never ends!!

Ouch! Broken collarbones SUCK (broke mine at 9), but she's got this! Hope all's well and she feels better/heals fast!

It's hard not being close enough to help. She's got a good mom watching out for her.

a full illustration of a dalmatian furry. she is sitting in an ancient garden along the old stone walls, in between two pillars. she has flowing blue cloth on her body, decorated with golden bangles and other jewelry. there are wisteria plants framing around the top of the pillars, and the ground is covered with grass and pink hydrangeas. behind the character is a vast ocean, with a mountain range far along the horizon

a green forest scenery of a woman jumping down from a tree or hill. she is looking over her shoulders, as if being chased, and her claws are showing.

a bust illustration of a Viera from FFXIV in a haunted forest-like scenery. the atmosphere is misty, blue, and there are trees curling around the path in the distance. there's also a gothic-style gate. the character has red hair with purple highlights in their hair and on the tips of their ears, dark purple lips, a heart tattoo on their right cheek, fair skin, purple eyes, and a gothic victorian outfit that has a ruffled headdress, a choker with long hems up to the neck, a frilled chest piece, puffy sleeves that open up on the forearm, and a corset. they also have an earring, bracelets, and a ring. they are holding a bright pink and blue fire in the palm of their hands, illuminating their face in a cold light.

a bust commission of a young woman. she has olive skin peppered with freckles all over her body, purple eyes, and wavy red hair with a white streak through it that is swept up in a messy updo. she has a green top and dark green jacket draped around her arms. her accessories include a nostril hoop, long dangling star earrings, and a green leather collar necklace with a gold hoop, and a gem fastened to it. she also has a tattoo of several leaves on her arm and shoulder. she has her finger up to her lips in a mischievous way.

Looking for any kind of help. After tomorrow, my gas tank will be on E. I just need to make it to Friday - $50 would be golden.

Phoenix (no follow4follow here, thx) @thephoenixpath.bsky.social · 7d

Welp... got my car insurance paid, but could use a small boost to put gas in the tank so I can make it to the next paycheck.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and if you can't help monetarily, a share is also very much appreciated! 💜💜

This is my current struggle. 😔 I'm trying more frozen or canned veg, and experimenting pickling veg either on purpose or because they're going bad.

It's a trial, why is all fruit and veg on a timer that expires the day after i buy it i swear? (It's been 3 weeks. Don't look at me.) 😭😭😭

When I worked on Lumberjanes, I was expected to make a 22 page issue every month for what amounted to being about $1400 after taxes

-Floppies are a dumb system that creates a ton of waste.

-Month by Month comics are unfair to the creators and often end with artists rushing.

-The page rate for most publishers is abysmal.

-Comics are one of the most difficult kinds of art to create, and every single one of them is a miracle.
