I made a thing and that's enough

I didn't have a lot of time this week so I nervously doodled this at an organizing meeting where many more new members came than usual. I was feeling lots of feelings, excitement, sadness, social anxiety - this month is a feelings soup. So I thought about these yellow roses a friend got me and Ilona for our engagement and I drew that first. I also thought about all of the bees in the backyard when it's sunny out and the gold finches that sit on the sunflowers. That all helped. I do not love this drawing but I did make a thing! And that's enough.

Oops I missed a couple of weeks

Ok apologies to myself for this creative hiatus. But also so many things happen I wasn't expecting already this year!

Resolutions!

I made my resolutions into a more artistic doodle project. It helps me meditate on them while I draw. It also makes it more likely I will revisit them throughout the year! I feel nervous and excited about my resolutions this year. Are there too many? Too few? I can't get a sense but time will tell...

A Garden of Silly Creativity from Ashes

Let's be real, this week was terrible. I got diagnosed with a chronic illness and got seriously pulverized at work in more ways than one. How'msoever, I was very creatively productive. I am starting another felted mobile for my nephew because the one me and Ilona made for him, he loves so much and am told he babbles to the felted creatures every morning. It was really helpful to make these and meditate on my love for him. I find felting really relaxing. I also taught my friend how to use shrinky dinks. We watched Chicken run 1 and 2 and crafted one of our favorite characters. I thought everyone knew about shrinky dinks but I was wrong. I love making them!!
