Hello friends!! And an extra special welcome to the new folks who just signed up to the blog/newsletter after meeting me at my vendor events last year! You might notice that it's been a while since my last post here - in fact, you might have signed
Oh gosh it's been a while since my last post here, sorry about that! I had hoped to update this blog at least once every month, but depression has had its own plans for me... But, even though writing has been particularly hard (I've had the
Just a collection of pages from my sketchbook over the last half year. Enjoy! The following are all fanart for the game Palia, which I spent much of August and September obsessing over. (PS, Palia is a free game that I recommend trying out! You can even join on my

I made a simple thought record template for my personal planner, and I thought I'd share! This is my take on a thought record and thought challenging tool, as used in cognitive behavioral therapy. I might make a prettier version later, but for now, this was quick and
I recently had the chance to try out 3D modeling for the first time! This apple here is the first model I've made! I haven't had a particularly strong interest in getting into 3D modeling, but a friend offered to teach a group of us how
This is my first experiment with making a pattern for sale! I learned my way around Inkscape to make this, which was pretty exciting, since it's been many years since I did vector art. Inkscape is pretty cool and easier than I expected to work with! (Though I
