Mother's Day!


 My illustration! 


My inspiration! 


    I am still learning! I am teaching myself everything about painting, drawing, sketching, everything! I am reading, practicing,  studying, screwing up, trying again and putting myself out there as much as I can! 

    I drew this in honor of Mother's Day! It's the most recent picture of my parents in Florida! It's not perfect, but I am SO proud of the way this turned out! I am getting more and more confident with every piece I produce! 

    It's stressful, I'll admit! I always think, " I want people to like this. I want people to like this!" But I know that at the end of the day, the only person who has to like it is me! 

    I sometimes forget that I don't care about what people think anymore. Because I lived in that place for such a long time! And I would be lying if I said I didn't sometimes fall back down into that rabbit hole! But, I always try to remind myself that I am so much stronger than I ever was before! I have so much potential and all I have to do is keep myself accountable for MYSELF and I will be OKAY! 

    Anyway, I am off to see my mom or mama's day! One day I will hopefully be a mama myself but until then, I have a pretty great one who deserves to be loved every day of the year and not just today! (But a little celebrating never hurt anyone, right?!)


Happy Sunday, babes! 

And Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's! 


XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
