Love the care package of zines & stickers I ordered for myself during my birthday month from the delightful @dethpsun.bsky.social. There were some cute bonuses thrown in too that were so cool!

When I share that I’ve been painting watercolors since leaving my last job, people usually ask, “Are you going to sell them?” My answer is, “No.” pegcheng.com/creating-for...

My hubs & I have been going through grief, loss, planning & tasks. Recently, I took time to draw this monstera leaf. It helped me & prepared me for this weekend when we said “a hui hou” to our friend Anthony. “Antman” was his nickname & he grew up in Hawaii. This NYT crossword puzzle sums it up. 🤙🙏

The @marcusdonner.bsky.social and I donated some of our stickers to a Little Free Art Gallery! I gave plaid froggies & delicious lime rickey drinks & Marcus gave Icelandic wildlife stickers. So fun that something like this exists. #SoSeattle

Every day, I gaze upon the mini foods & drinks sculpted by me & @marcusdonner.bsky.social in Clay Cafe by Rosalie Chuang Cass & it brings me so much joy. Rosalie is teaching workshops on sculpting mini pizzas next. 🍕Find out about her classes & more at luma.com/ArtClub

These treats look good enough to eat, don’t they? But you can’t eat them because they’re made out of polymer clay! 🤣@marcusdonner.bsky.social & I had so much fun taking CLAY CAFE ☕️ by Rosalie Chuang Cass. You just never know what you’re gonna love until you do it. If you’ve feel pulled to it, do it.

Even though I really wanted to share this story of going from being a burnout to being an artist, it still scared me to write it all down. But, I'm glad I did. Hope it brings you inspiration. pegcheng.com/burnout-turn...

Just finished a 6-week Watercoloring Butterflies & Moths class with Robin Bundi at North Seattle College Continuing Education. Loved it! If you’ve been wanting to paint watercolors—even if you’re a total beginner—check out Robin’s classes for Winter 2026. conted.northseattle.edu

Many days can be made better if we pause, breathe, and enjoy the present moment.

Peg Cheng @pegcheng.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Enjoy the present. So easy to say, harder to do. But for a day, every time you think about the past or the future, stop yourself and bring yourself gently back to the present. See how you feel by the end of the day. It makes a difference.

Wonderful to watch @marcusdonner.bsky.social present a fantastic wildlife photography workshop last Sat at the Peak Design flagship store in SF! Learn something good every time. Awesome store & staff. Bonus was I got to reconnect with my former mentee/friend Doug. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Today is the Fall Equinox. Take time to soak in the golden light of autumn. Move slower. Savor your food. Let go of things you no longer need. Spend less time with people that don’t support you. Rest and reflect. PAUSE.

Running Up That Hill by @katebushmusic.bsky.social is 40 years old and it’s still as beautiful and haunting today as it was when it was released in 1985. “Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, be running up that building…”

Last Monday was Labor Day. I did not labor. I hope you didn’t either. We labor enough, don’t you think? But one day off is not enough. WE ARE NOT MACHINES. We are not meant to be stressed & tired all the time. This is not normal. This is not natural. This is not our purpose.

Peg Cheng @pegcheng.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

There is so much going in the world that can bring you down and make you feel not getting out of bed or leaving the house. There are many days when I feel like this. But I also know that things always change. Always. Keep thinking of the things you hold dear that you still have. DO NOT LOSE HOPE.

Since I left the job world in March, I’ve been taking lots of art classes, crafting with my friend HKC, and allowing myself to delve into my creativity and try new things. I BELIEVE that the more creative I am, the happier I will be. #artsaveslives #craftersgonnacraft #creativelife

This week I finished my 6-week Watercoloring Vegetables & Fruits class with Robin Bundi. Our last project was creating a vintage fruit or veg crate label. So fun! Had no idea how much I‘d learn & progress in this class. Grateful I took it.

We got such a fun surprise last night when we went to Edmonds to watch the sunset and ran into the annual Roper Romp! @marcusdonner.bsky.social and I were grinning ear to ear seeing all the people dressed as Mrs. Roper. #comeandknockonourdoor

Touched up my blueberries study from class. 🫐 Feeling good about them, especially the third one in each row. Pics are before and after.

Having a space for making art makes all the difference for getting over the resistance to starting. Facing the blank page stops me before I start. But putting an old desk in a corner of our bedroom with my watercolor supplies laid out spurred me to paint this color study in 3 hours. #feelsgood

This week, I started a 6-week watercolor painting class on fruits & vegetables at North Seattle College. We all did a study of six blueberries using different techniques. Our teacher Robin was very detailed & encouraging. I was surprised that some of my tries looked like blueberries!

Just finished A PHYSICAL EDUCATION by @caseyjohnston.bsky.social & loved it! If you have ever despaired about your weight, how your body looks, or have tried one too many diets, please read this book. It changed how I think about my body & building strength & inspired me to start lifting. 💪

A few weeks ago, I learned how to make moss art with Little Orchid Annie at @fancyplantsseattle.bsky.social . Never tried it before. It was so much fun!

Last month, my hubs @marcusdonner.bsky.social & I took a road trip to SF so I could take a watercolor class on painting skies by Dave Muller @caseformaking.bsky.social. It was far but worth it, for many different reasons. Whenever I follow my intuition, it leads me to my best & highest good. ✨

Peg Cheng @pegcheng.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Loved the online watercolor class I took with Anjelika Deogirikar Grossman via @caseformaking.bsky.social! I had sooooooo much fun painting abstract shapes. 😍 If you need a shot of joy & color in your life, take one of their classes. 🎨🖌️🌈

Currently reading & enjoying MUD ROCKS BLAZES by Heather “Anish” Anderson about her journey to set a record thru-hiking the #appalachiantrail. The hard things she goes through! 🤯 It’s amazing & inspires me so much re: what motivated humans can do. 🥾🏔️

Reading “THIRST: 2600 Miles to Home” by Heather Anish Anderson. It’s my 2nd time reading it & I love it even more than the 1st time. Inspiring memoir about a formerly overweight nerdy girl who becomes one of the fastest thru-hikers in the world. 🥾🌲
