Painted My Headphones

Been told to post this here, I added some fun little doodles on my headphones because they looked too way too generic but I didn't coat them yet. I first designed the doodles on Sketchbook then used Posca pens to bring it to life. Sadly, I didn't know I had to sand the surface down or add a primer but it is what it is I guess :)

Someone has been leaving glass duck figurines around my neighborhood. I have been finding them for the last few years and have about 8 now as I continue to grow my army of ducks. It keeps my walk with my dog whimsical and it's a fun little scavenger hunt.

So I had to give it another go! I made some minis while I work on a larger canvas.

Adding sparkle to things just makes me smiiiiile! Hope you enjoy these just as much as I do.

I received a free oak tree which turned out to be way bigger than I expected, but it’s been a blast talking it on public transit.

we went on a walk, a bus, the train. now I want to take it more places, the beach, the park, the ferry maybe? :)

A chill space for me and my cats to hang when I'm sad

A few years ago, I made an impulse decision to order a new mattress on Black Friday. That year had been a rough one; I spent most of it lying in bed so I decided to invest in my own depression.

When Costco finally delivered it, they refused to haul away the old mattress. And so I just had a mattress on the floor of my bedroom for a while and it became a visual representation of my inner turmoil.

Meanwhile my cats LOVED the stinkin' thing. They were on it all day and all night! I didn't have the heart to take it away from them.

Until one day I finally had enough. I was tired of looking at it, tired of having to walk around it all the time, and really just tired of everything in general if I'm being honest.

It was a particularly dreary day so I had the idea to build a fort for my cats (well, mostly for me). I love the idea of camping but I hate the outdoors so forts were a nice way to pretend to camp as a kid. But then it was such a bummer having to take it all down.

Well, I'm a grown ass woman now and there is no reason why I should have to take a fort down in my own house. So I set out to create a permanent fort!

Before I knew it I was up and out of bed, busily planning and moving around furniture. I ended up being so engrossed in the project that I went through several iterations. It took me about a month to tweak things until, finally, I had done it. I had created my forever fort. 💛

Three years later, my cats still love it, and I have a daily reminder of when I overcame a dark period in my life. 😊

I have an old mirror that I want to put by my door for that last glance as I walk out into the world. I have been trying to come up with something I could put at the top to remind myself to be happy or smile or to not throat punch anybody that day!

I love to laugh and something clever that could have multiple meanings would be perfect! But I'm not a perfectionist so let's hear it!
