Proof of life check in: I'm still here, just staying focused on art currently. Enjoy a couple progress and practice pics.

I made chili for dinner tonight. It's been cold as hell, so I figured chili would be nice to eat. And yes, I know my stove needs to be cleaned off. If you blink around a gas stove, it looks like a wasteland of food scraps and drips. This is the only time I miss electric stoves 🤣

I'm just over halfway through crocheting this hat thing now for the youngest

She still wants it to have cat ears too.

Well, I'm about halfway through the neck warmer balaclava piece of BLO single crochet rows before I can make the hooded portion, so... 1/4 of the way done? It's a WIP. It's a discontinued lion brand heartland color called cuyahoga valley. The kid loves it so far 🥰

The card for my neighbor is done. Does it need to be perfect? Nope. Do I care that it's not? Nope. It's more about the caring for someone than the perfection, it's a hobby after all, and I do get sand grain in size better each time. I hope it cheers her up some.

Before the great fall yarn stash dig starts, I'm waiting for this watercolor to dry a bit before doing anything else. It's for my sweet neighbor across the street, because love and support is free and can come in any form. I wanna bring her a light in the dark through kindness and empathy.

My guts are in full on panic mode with the gurgles. I also forgot to eat like a dipshit. I am not a smart human today. At all.

Does this look okay for the date?

WHY AM I CATASTROPHICALLY NERVOUS??!

ugh... please go well, date 😭

Sometimes all you need is to have a date planned to wake back up. I missed makeup. I missed doing my nails. None of these are required for a date though, I do it for myself. It's my physical self hype when I lack any self esteem or confidence in me.

Today i spent time teaching my youngest the fun in doing leaf printing! We used acrylic paints, daubbers, and leaves we collected! I'll add more layers to mine later. She said she's done with hers lol

What I wanted: a lap cat
What I got: a stretched out doom noodle digging her void claws into my ankle while she sleeps.
