A digital sketchbook. Probably pictures of baked goods. She/they.
Made it in under the wire with my mom’s final Xmas gift. Took me about 10 hours but a lot of that was remaking pieces while I figured out what shape I wanted the body to be #crochet #christmas #crafts

My favorite editing trick is accidentally deleting what I was writing on my phone with no way to recover it. My brain cuts out all the extra words in a scramble to remember and it ends up being much more streamlined and coherent when I type it out a second time.

My friends’ toddler loves to be read to, and one of her favorites right now is The Mitten by Jan Brett.
I had already bought the little mouse as her Christmas gift. This morning I had a brainwave

Finally letting myself be done. This was one of those pieces that rolled out easily at first and was a huge struggle to complete.

Pulling myself up and out of the pre-holiday funk. Rearranging my indoor garden always feels like a refresh.

Slightly bummed to learn that I need a CPAP and feeling a little unsexy about it.
But my sleep study did prove that I don’t snore, so I got that going for me, which is nice

I’ve decided to be done. I can’t bear any more blending. Also I ate the pomegranate.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that your tape measures will disappear, even when you bought four to put in every possible place you might store them.

I thought I would spend *just* 10 minutes before bed sketching. I started this just after 11:00… couldn’t stop once I was on a roll and bedtime ended up being 1:00. (Worth it?)

I’m going to focus on reconnecting with myself and doing activities I value. One of those is drawing, which I don’t do often and never share (outside of a couple close friends).
Here’s my most recent completed sketch. I’m going to work on a new one after I get some much needed sleep.
