Foreground, middle ground, background. Dark darks, light lights. Working on this stuff.

I have been saving up a mini embroidery kit (a cactus scene!) as treat. Maybe if I bought a second one I could let myself break into the first one. I have anxiety about losing the promise of entertainment and so I sit here staring at my phone rather than doing the fun thing.

Exactly. Stability and security, shall we discuss why?
