Apr. 14th, 2023 10:52 amso it's april apparently
actually, despite all evidence to the contrary I'm feeling alright today, and for the last couple of days - maybe having a breakdown day last week really did help reset the humours. it probably also helps that I have dnd this weekend
Things I have been up to: making so many more books, just so many, and while the mania has passed (I no longer feel like if I don't work on a book I'll go insane) I'm still enjoying the process, which hopefully means it's a lasting hobby and not a flash in the pan. Enjoyed learning this little lighting bolt stitch from youtube.
I have also been back at painting, and finished my first wholly oil painting this week - reference photo is by Jack Davison, who does some great portrait work, but I did just fully find this on tumblr and go 'hey neat', so. Exceptionally pleased with myself. It's getting framed and I'll need to finally bite the bullet and put some hooks up to hang on.
Oh yes, that's the other thing - residency visas came through, so I won't get kicked off terf island. yet. for now. unfortunately. I guess. but anyway.
Planning to meet my dad in Europe later this year while he's trotting around on holiday. Might get to see Venice with my favourite family. That's neat. I'm also already planning my ren faire outfits for US friend trip 2024, because it's never too early for moodboards and I Must get to hold my friends in person again or I'll expire.
It's nice to have plans for things that don't suck. Here's to more of that.
