Catching up.

Since I started vlogging weekly, I have put the actual blog on the back burner.

But I have been better about posting to Instagram these days. I’ve been sharing some recent sewing and painting projects.

January 17, 2021 - I started this painting back in the spring of 2020. I added to it today with the intention to fill an empty spot I have on my gallery wall.

It feels good to be making and creating again. I guess in a way I’m just burying my head into creativity during this wild volatile time in my country. I made that sound very dramatic but I still dread turning on the news or going into town and seeing grown men act like toddlers at the stores after being told to wear a mask properly. Making and creating seems to be my way of coping and feeling okay. I do have times where I binge YouTube videos under a blanket cuddling my doogos. But I get fidgety after too long.

I stop here for now as I’m sure I’ll have more to share in the next few days.

I hope you are all well friends.
