Thankfully everyone online is honest and realistic lol the main thing is figuring out the lifestyle change long term and not ‘I’ll take him off your hands for 3 hours cause that will fix everything’ 🙃

I was trying to figure out whether I was going through a depressive episode finally. Nope, extreme burnout but I cannot have a meltdown whilst I'm taking care of tiny human. I've mastered disassociating on command now so that's a cool skill ✌️ I'm ok, it's just tough 🫠

I have a cunning plan. I’m setting goals for some world building and this is where we’re starting, the foundations. Things will change but I have a cool way to link you lot in ;)

We did our first stream back last night ✨ It was amazing and I missed everyone so much! I’m feeling loads happier for doing it so me and the husband are going to work out a schedule to juggle the baby so I can do my things again sooner 💜 #twitch #art

Sketching out the first page of the art journal spread using photo references taken on the day ✨ I’m managing to get the initial sketches done whilst the little one has his midday nap 😸 #sketchbook #artjournal #autumn

Taking this as a win while we can, we’ve been experimenting and found he’s wakes up cold at 2-3am so we have the heating turn on sooner + extra blanket now as it’s near 0 degrees outside. Also all the formula he wants before bed as I have nothing left in the tank at bedtime. Fingers crossed 🤞

Update: He slept through the entire night so I got 7 hours of solid sleep ✨

Some progress this evening, I’m dreading the goblin waking up at 2am. I’m hoping he’ll sleep through the night again and drawing after he goes to bed can be a thing 😭 #sketchbook

I started my new fancy sketchbook, WIP of the first page! :3 Taking the time to personalise it and make it pretty on every page! I'm planning of filming the progress of this sketchbook over the next few weeks in the evenings! #sketchbook #art #etchr

I've been trying to drum up the courage to make art videos, it was the original plan as finding a time to stream is hard and i need something to focus on. We'll get there soon. The days are still long as I still don't have time to myself 😪 #autumn #nature #photography

For my birthday a couple of months back I was gifted an Etchr Perfect Sketchbook as I wanted to try some more premium art supplies. It’s the most expensive sketchbook I’ve ever had and was scared to start it. I’ve decided to use it as an art journal to document the adventures with the goblin ✨

Painting and drawing at arms reach is definitely a challenge and a half, but I love the impressionist style coming from it! #sketchbook #autumn #sketch

We did a walk around Cannock Chase last weekend and were tested when taking the goblin out. We. Were. Stressed. 😩 It’s all a learning experience but at least it was a sunny day! #autumn #nature #walking

Challenging myself to use a single art supply instead of leaning on mixed media. This was made using Derwent Drawing pencils in a limited palette. Used a reference I took this morning on my walkies ✨ #sketchbook #pencil #drawing
