Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 17/10/2026I have finished the studio area clean up/re-org! (#1) The collectibles shelves are now mostly empty. I just got the final display boxes today, so I'll probably tackle that next. The closet: not even begun. 6170 17

Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 16/10/2026Things what I have found in my cleaning spree: 5210 21
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 16/10/2026Blessed, blessed relief from the heat!! 68F/20c atm & I am soooo happy for it! 3160 16
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026They're heeeere! It came as 3 boxes of 3 drawers each. I had ordered 2 sets of 4, but I guess it was cheaper to send 3 of 3? In any case, they just snap together & it's easier than eating pie. 😆 ofc, still in the process of putting things away, but that's enough for today. 3160 16
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026This is why I had to rush to clear things out...it was SO not ready! 120 2
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026Today I have: * cleaned out 3 bathroom cabinets * assembled 2 underbed boxes ** put away all completed art journals 1180 18
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026Who's the dork who managed to cut the TOP of her head? Yeah, well. Last night, I bent down to pick up something off the floor & didn't realize how close I was to a corner wall that has a decorative molding on it. Said molding has a sharp corner piece... Sigh. 8160 16
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 12/10/2026Lookit what just arrived!!!! This is the Miffy Weighted Plush Kids' Throw Pillow White from the Miffy by Pillowfort™ collab. 3190 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 11/10/2026@limecello.bsky.social @ciele.bsky.social - I got my cute storage bin! I ordered the smallest one (23QT) bc I wanted to try it out first. It's 32.87" tall x 15.35" wide & 11" deep. It will be perfect for an awkward corner in my closet, which has built in custom shelving (came with the house.) 3120 12
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 11/10/2026Once again, my brain ruled & I managed to do more re-org. Moved my books (#1) to the larger, wall-mounted shelves & added all the books I own that are autographed/inscribed to me (2). This is a work in progress, as I'm not yet sure what else will go on that top shelf. For now, it's lunchtime. 1190 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 11/10/2026Some nifty new watercolors from PoemsAboutYou! 6190 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026I typed in "xiao zhan" into YT Music, clicked "artists" & this is the result I got. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2100 10
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026ALSO, lookit what I found: a t-shirt from Moonlight Rising (a Buffy-con) in 2006 with AUTOGRAPHS! This was given to me by a friend, but alas, it's a very small medium. I recognize James Woodward, Camden Toy & possibly James Marsters. 3100 10
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026My body just went "sploot." Lack of sleep & this weird energy + a ton of physical work today as I sort through stuff, haul stuff out to garage, etc. etc. etc. SO TIRED, but my brain is all - Moar, moar, moar. Shut up, brain. IoN, I did do #art today: a bit of an abstract landscape in watercolor. 1200 20
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026What does one do when one cannot sleep? If you're ridiculous (me, I'm ridiculous) - you get up & organize your Posca pens. As part of my overall re-org, I repurposed a clear, plastic drawer unit. Now the pens have a home. I use these daily, so they had to be somewhere close & easy to see. 5170 17
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 09/10/2026Hivemind: I'm tired of this extremely messy storage (it's directly behind my workspace) and am considering a couple of different solutions: 1) a lateral file cabinet ($200-250) OR 2) 2 elfa drawer units (tall ones) similar to what I already have in the rest of the room ($275) Thoughts? Pros/cons? 360 6
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 09/10/2026The revamp of my collectibles is ongoing. Today, I've cleared off the 2 large display shelves (top 2 shelves) & dusted (OMG, the dust!) each item. Currently, the shelves are empty, as I'm not sure how I"m going to proceed. I'm leaning towards moving my books there & moving the collectibles. 1110 11
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026In case you're wondering WHY I'm always griping about pollen... We basically have year-round allergens. Sigh. 3120 12
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026Yesterday & today in #art: from color to b&w 1: today's geometric piece 2: today's piece w/the pens used to create it 3 & 4: yesterday & today's ink on watercolor paper created with a brush pen I'm enjoying working with limited palettes! 6293 29
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026So I thought I'd look into a display box for my larger pieces (basically, to fit on the entire shelf & enclose the large figures.) The only ones I could find were custom (base price $115). When I put in the dimensions for ONE...see my result. Yeah. No. For that, I could buy entire new shelves. 580 8
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026Today in #art: still on my Mondrian-style bandwagon. This one is in a smaller watercolor paper sketchbook & done completely with Posca pens, with limited palette. 3242 24
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026It's beautifully cool outside & I really, really want to open my windows. (66F/19c) That said. Here's the current pollen count & opening said windows would just result in misery. Also, afternoons/evenings are still ridiculously warm (high 80s/low 90s -30-32c) 380 8
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026The 1st piece I worked on today was a more geometric one in my 8.5" x 8.5" sketchbook. 2190 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026Today in #art: noodling around with watercolor & Posca paint pens. 1: how it started (2 pieces taped together) 2: in progress (swooshes of color across both papers) 3: the finished product 4190 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026Today in #art: an 8.5" x 8.5" square mixed media landscape made from paper scraps & watercolor. Title: Green Hills. I've played around making "scrapscapes" before, but in a smaller format. This was fun! 5192 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026I have filled out my mail-in ballot! 3281 28
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026Today in #art. A mixed media collage in an 8.5" x 8.5" art journal. 1140 14
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 01/10/2026Welp, storm's here. Temps have dropped quite drastically, ushering in what I hope will be more fall-like weather for us. 4100 10
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 01/10/2026Still working on re-organizing the collectibles shelves so I can put the items into dust-proof (or nearly dust proof) cases. I've repurposed a couple of existing ones I had (the Miffy items on top of the drawer unit) & may do the same to a couple more. This is going to make things a lot easier. 2200 20
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 01/10/2026Rabbit. Rabbit. Rabbit. 🐇 🐇 🐇 Happy October, all! May the month bring us all joy & cooler weather (Northern hemisphere) and gorgeous weather (Southern hemisphere) 1221 22
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 30/09/2026I got tired of dusting all the tiny figures, so I got a couple of acrylic display boxes to try them out. Perfect! They fit on the shelving exactly. Now I've got to get some more for the rest of the shelves for the smaller figures. Then to figure out what to do w/the larger ones... 2150 15
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026A wee bit more adulting: I cooked up a big salmon filet in the air fryer & am having some of it for lunch. 2100 10
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Look what I got in the mail yesterday! (I forgot to check until today.) Dragon coloring pages from @swantower.bsky.social's Lady Trent Kickstarter! Can't wait to have a go at them with my pencils & markers. 2141 14
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 26/09/2026A tiny new addition to the seasonal corner! (I actually forgot I'd ordered an autumn blind box & it arrived this afternoon.) 380 8
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 26/09/2026My desk is ready for spooky season. 5300 30
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 25/09/2026Having to wait at the pharmacy for a prescription can be a PITA... HOWEVER... Look how cute!!!! 3190 19
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 25/09/2026IoN: this is my spam email just from a few hours. It's all political bullshit. 120 2
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 25/09/2026Today in #art: a small, mixed media botanical piece. A bit moody, a bit neutral, which is kind of my brain today. 7212 21
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 23/09/2026THIS is why my system is borked. BAH 370 7
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 23/09/2026I got a new, handmade watercolor palette from Etsy store: poemsaboutyou. I've only swatched them for now & I really love it. The collection is Subtle Earth Colors Set. 0180 18
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 20/09/2026SCORE! Found them online at Walmart (ick) and ordered 2 packages (along with a pair of shorts & some nightwear). Just arrived. I've not tried them yet, bc it's only 10 AM, but they'll be part of my lunch. 3180 18
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 20/09/2026Yesterday in #art. A couple of abstracts using various media. 2201 20
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 19/09/2026My newest breakfast obsession: savory high-fiber oat bran. I used to add things like shredded coconut, nuts/seeds & some vegan choc chips for sweetness. Instead, I'm now adding nuts/seeds (inc black sesame seeds) + pickled radish, pork floss & black vinegar. SO YUM! 1110 11
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 18/09/2026Today in #art: this is my brain on insomnia. This is what I did instead of being able to go back to sleep. 4163 16
Maria Lima aka chickwriter @thelima.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026Today in #art: a companion piece to yesterday's abstract landscape. 4233 23
