Gone over the deep end with yarn! 😅
Knit each of my kids a hat, according to their instructions. Also knit my niece one. Then one for myself to practice a new stitch.
I have plans to knit more things.
🙃 Just having fun over here.

Yall. Is this not the cutest little thing you've ever seen?
I am so proud of this one!
Followed https://gemmaandcompany.com/owl-mug-cozy-pattern/ this pattern, for anyone who does know how to knit!
So fun. 😊

So now I'm on a knitting frenzy. Saw this lady's video about this particular pattern. Fell in love. Bought it. Now I need to knit them for my family 🤣 Anywho, I'm struggling to pick my colors.
She does hers with two different gradient yarns. (from thei top) Light yellow to dark orange and dark blue to light blue.

My absolute favorite color is seagreen, light green. Although I love all greens too. So I want color 17 or 03
But I also love the sunset, fire vibes from 15 and 09 (09 number got covered, sorry) and how they will contrast with my green colors.

BUT I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GOES BEST WITH WHAT! What do you guys think? 😬

It's been a while since I've posted! I have gone a slight painting haitus as I race to finish a knitting project I started.
I had actually meant to keep yall following along with it, but I took the pictures and forgot to make the posts.. 😅 So here's one big post about a little journey I had with this scarf, and hat.

So I learned to knit about 6-7 years ago. I'm not sure how long the hobby lasted. Less than year, possibly. That's just how my ADHD brain really works. I pick up a hobby and learn it in a frenzy. then I either get bored of it, or I find a new hobby that's more exciting to learn. (pretty sure I sewed a quilt after my knitting journey 😅)

Anyway, it's been a while it's what I'm getting at. So when my dad asked if I could knit him up a scarf and hat set by Christmas. I remembered how I enjoyed knitting, and took on the project without hesitation! (this was roughly two weeks beforehand)

Of course, I had to re-learn a few things, but once I got back into it, it was nothing! I gained confidence and knitted my little heart out. I got excited and even figured out my on little pattern on my own, but here's where things started to fall apart.
I got over confident just a tiny bit and made mistake after mistake. The pattern I created just Had to be complicated. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I unraveled this thing to bare bones out of frustration SO MANY TIMES. Honestly, I was the fuzziness of the yarn made it hard to see stitches for me to correct mistakes. 🙃 On top of that complicated pattern of course.

I was stubborn and pushed through the pattern because I knew it would be pretty. And boy was I right! I absolutely love the way the scarf came out! 5ft of purple luscious beauty! So totally worth every bit of frustration! I definitely learned a lot from it, that's for sure!

If you've read this far, thanks! I am still knitting the hat! I did struggle a bit in the beginning, to get the size right with my yarn and figuring out the pattern. Now that it's all figured out, it'll be a breeze from here. Also, I know it's after Christmas, but thankfully, my dad is one of my number one supporters and is super understanding! 😊❤️ Should be done soon though! 😁

Probably my most proud of set I've ever knitting! What do you guys think? ❤️

Waited to post these since i had made them for my family's christmas party. Now that they've been gifted, I can show them to you guys!
How cute are these? I love how they turned out!

Couple of art doodles I did today!
Been having a lot of fun fiddling with watercolor.
I'm just on an art journey, okay?
Dipping my toes into everything 🙃

Little doodle painting I did today while my son worked on his art project for school.
It makes me happy to look at! I love it!

Happy thanksgiving! Here's my art of the week! A delicious pumpkin pie! 🥰😍

11/22/2024

Lately, I've been feeling a bit down, maybe even burnt out. I haven’t painted much at all since my last post. Life has been overwhelming, and I just can’t seem to get my footing to move forward with my art.

It’s frustrating—when I feel bad, I don’t paint. But I want to paint, and then I feel bad that I’m not. It’s a cycle I really need to break.

I’m hopeful that something will shift soon. In the meantime, here’s something fun: a face painting my daughter did! I have a special kit just for her, and she paints several times a week. She absolutely loves exploring all kinds of art, and I love encouraging that creativity.

If I can’t be creative right now, at least I can find joy in watching her grow her own artistic spark!

This little hobby started about a year ago. At first, she was just experimenting with colors, swiping them around into a beautiful mess. But now? She’s moved on to picking pictures she wants to replicate—it’s been incredible to see her progress.

I’ll share her reference photo in the comments if anyone wants to check it out.

Fingers crossed my creative bug comes back soon! 🙃

Off to color tonight! This black took forever though! 😅
Also, peep my spider in the window! Light shining through it is so pretty! 😍

How it started, how it's going. 😅
If you're wondering how i will know what is octopus and what isn't... Well, so am I. 🤣🤣

“I think you did too much. It looked great the way it was. Now it just looks like a bunch of rocks“—My very own 10 year old Art critic. 🙃

In other news, I honestly love it. I have a couple of decisions I'd like to make on it, but I believe she may be done! What do you guys think?
I kinda loved doing this, and definitely want to do an octopus. And maybe some other things? Who knows. My brain may jump to something else before then! 😅

*PROGRESSION*
Got some cleaning up to do and I may try to add to dimension. Not sure exactly how I'll be doing that yet lol.
I never truly know what I'm doing. Just going with the flow!

09/11/2024

Annndd I messed up two spots in the beginning 😅 it was hard to look at up close.
Thankfully I'll just paint over it!
Loving this look though!
May do something else like this... Octopus? That'd be cool.

Needed something kind of mind numbing today and this is what I came up with.
About to add color, but wanted to ask if you could see the image?
I think halloween is on my mind 👀😅

08/27/2024

I don't think it's totally done, honestly I thought it was, but the more I stare at it, the more little things stand out to me that I'd like to change, butttt now I'm also starting on the one for my cat soo lets see how it goes too!

08/22/2024

I've started so many projects lately and can't seem to finish them, but here's another I started today, kind of excited about it, so we will see how it goes!

Seriously, the sound of tape peeling is soooooo satisfying. Oh yeah, here's my Christmas card! Lol

Back again! Can't wait to see it with all the black cleaned up! 😍 Super in love with how it's turning out!

Here's some progression on that octopus! I've had somethings slow me down in the process! Hopefully I can work on it tonight and get you guys a new video tomorrow!

Still some details to put in butttt when you hate the background, you change it. I couldn't get things to work for me, but now I like the abstract look I'm going for now! Need to add some shadow to make the flamingo pop, and maybe gold? I don't know, I haven't decided 😁
