Zoning out by sketching hydrangeas with gouache.

Today’s mood

Waiting for rejection. Existential crisis. Wondering if I should dye my hair? Is the grey off putting? I need a doughnut. Listing all my off putting qualities in my mind. 🥸 this picture is me.

Is that a cheese single and a single slice of wafer thin ham?

Colleague bought me a carrot cake muffin. I’ll survive! 😝

How very true. 😊

Always lovely when the roses are in bloom!

Perfect day with perfect people

Palaeography Assignment: Me staring at the same 17th century letter in the worst handwriting I’ve ever seen for an hour and still not comprehending anything of value..

watch your thoughts, for they become your words.
Watch your words, for they will become your actions.
Consider your actions, for they will become your habits.
Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values.
Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.

J’adore!

Me sitting at my desk in December finally getting the chance to concentrate on my masters dissertation after multiple subsidiary assignments

When the sun hits those lustrous silks-

So my first blue sky post! Besides from a week with my head in medieval castles… I finished this little 17th century peach tree. Historic stitches! Also hello! Let’s hope it’s less musky here..
