Just popped my shop onto vacation mode, as I’m not feeling motivated to put my energy into it at the moment. My now 6 month old is keeping me super busy and I’m preparing to return to my paid job in the next few months. Thanks all for your support thus far!

I’ve been quiet posting on here lately plus taken a step back from creating for a few weeks. The events of the world, in particular the US, have really strained my heart. I feel the pain and hurt that so many are going through, especially my queer and disabled peers. My heart hurts for you all.

Today’s painting theme was “paint with anything but a paint brush”! I used my hands, ribbons, cups, an eraser, sides of a crayon, and a dried up roll of washi tape. Here’s one of the finished paintings! #abstractpainting #art #painting

I just went to a doctors appointment booked for 4:45 and the doctor called me in at 4:45…. Very confused. Aren’t I supposed to wait around anxiously for an hour before you call me in?

Something I’m struggling with since opening my Etsy shop is creating art for myself vs creating what I “think” other people will like. It’s the main reason I hadn’t opened a shop earlier. Part of me is considering whether it’s worth the effort. Anyway, here’s a painting I’ve started for my own fun.
Lines drawn and painting started More colours added including checkers and a bunny

We took baby girl to her first concert today! It was a live acoustic music concert held in the hills, among the trees. We did lots of dancing and she was all smiles!

Therapeutic art. I feel really anxious today. Can you tell? I did half of these marks just with my hands. The brush didn’t feel expressive enough.

Also I’m officially traumatised from my bottle of black paint. Twice now the paint has dried in the nozzle and when I’m gone to use it, it has sprayed all over me and the carpet. The second time it also sprayed all over my curtains. I need black paint for this painting. Wish me luck.

Also kudos to baby girl who was in bed sleeping, then proceeded to squirm and start crying the moment I put my hand in a tub of green paint to get some crusty paint out.

For some reason I thought baking cookies when baby went to bed was a good idea, forgetting how noisy the electric mixer is. I was determined so ended up grabbing the extension cord and mixing the ingredients in the backyard on the outdoor table 😂

It has been a very hot and gross 42 degree day today. Baby girl and I have been primarily: - watching ribbons attached to the front of the pedestal fan fly in the air - playing on a water mat - splashing water in the bathroom sink Bring on the cooler weather, please!

ADHD and parenting is a challenging combo sometimes. I am constantly reminding my brain that I am focusing on the baby and that I can’t act on the endless number of impulses that come up. I have such strong impulses to create that I feel like I *have* to do it *now*.

What a rough few days it’s been with the little one. She had her 4 month immunisations the other day and has been so unsettled. She seems better today so we might brave an outing. I think a walk might do us both some good.

I struggled with painting today and couldn’t find myself in my art. Reflecting on it now, I was working on themes of calm and delight and it simply doesn’t match how I feel today.

Just got a notification that it was 2 years ago that I started working on this project! If you’ve followed me for a while it’s probably clear my ADHD brain can’t stick to one hobby 😂 This was a fun restoration project where I now display all my clay creations and store my art paper and paintings.
