I love reference books in general - so no surprise I grabbed a copy of 'Dictionary of Color Combinations' that seems so popular these days. Very excited for inspiration from this one! I thought it could be fun as I learn to mix different colors with paint. nagamochishop.com/products/jap...

The collection grows... #artist #practice

Had a few people comment on the size - and yes, it's on purpose so they fit in TCG sleeves, so I can trade them to others, or just have a neat collection of my own. ^^

Random practice paintings, still bad, but I had fun. #practice #artist #watercolour

Pretty sure Waffle is judging me heavily tonight. #cats #everydayiscaturday

More random art doodles in my hobonichi techo. I find it's easier to just make art happen if I have zero expectations. Glad to have repurposed this journal! 25/26/27 #artist #practice

Some stationary pretties arrived today. ^^ I found I wasn't reaching for my pens / markers because they're always tucked into my desk, so I got a case that displays them, and a case for the fountain pens. A few new stickers, a ruler, and a stamp. Also supporting a fellow Canadian creator. ^^

#Tourdefleece day 9 - I separated the fiber I have left, so I think 3 more days and then this alpaca will be done (well, the singles, then I need to spin some merino to ply it with). #spinning #alpaca #fiberarts

I did some acrylic pours today for fun, on miniature canvas. They turned out pretty awesome (still drying, I'll seal these with a high gloss once they're completely dried) - REALLY like how they turned out! #artist #acrylic

I worked on my mini gaming journal a bit and got caught up (stats all come from TempusGameIt, love love). May and June had less gaming than usual, but life was life-ing (and I probably forgot to turn the tracking app on from time to time). #gaming #journal

I caught up on my reading journal today, it was well over do. My Goober Bakery challenge is going well! I also realized that this is 1/2 way through my 2nd pre-printed reading journal, I bought 5 books to fill, so next year will be year 3 and that sort of tickles me @@ #books #reading

#tourdefleece day 5, more yarn on the bobbin ^^ I am hoping to finish spinning all of this alpaca, and maybe ply it with some merino. That's my TDF goal - but we'll see.

Binge watching Golden Girls and working on my crochet chenille blanket. It's coming along. ^^ #crochet #fiberarts

#tourdefleece day 2 & 3, still working away on the alpaca... (I imagine most of my spins will just be a repeat of this, lol) Bobbin is getting nice and chunky at least!

Keeping my mind and hands busy with some crochet. I wanted a big project to use up all of this yarn, so I settled on a lap blanket. #crochet

I am NOT good at crochet (I keep trying) - but when your axolotl obsessed kiddo asks for a stuffie, well. There's only one correct answer. #crochet #axolotl

Distractions are a must as I work through grief, so ... today was the start of #TourdeFleece, and I did some spinning on my Starling. I'm spinning my way through alpaca, that I will probably ply into a 3ply with some merino.

I .. am .... heartbroken. I don't even have words. His wife died almost exactly 1 year ago.. I was about to check in (again) ... I'm ... I don'tg have wordwa.. mes.s.

If you grinded out a bunch of Fractals during fractal rush - but didn't know there's actually very easy legendary gloves to get, you should go talk to the Mist Stranger in the Fractal Incursion Conference. ^^ #GW2 #GuildWars2

Siiiiiigh. Fuck this weather (C/F)

Happy Canada Day to all of my fellow Canucks <3

23/365 - Don't Trust 24/365 - Complicated Feelings These are acrylic marker + fountain pen ink ^^ The sketchbook is my A6 Hobonichi techo that I've decided to use as a sketchbook. #artist #practice

Annnnd skyscale obtained! YAY #GW2 #Guildwars2

So close... however, grinding events is not my most favourite thing.. #GW2 #GuildWars2

I finally found the gd egg, and am on the way to obtaining skyscale.. hopefully.. #GW2 #GuildWars2

I finished my goal in Fractal Rush last night in #GW2, so that was nice. #GuildWars2

I stuck us on the list because we've really wanted one (we use our steamdeck as a family machine, and absolutely love it) but holy shit, the price is... yep. With all 4 of us gaming, it was going to be this / a new desktop / another laptop one way or another.

Had a visitor this morning eating my flowers…

Curious about what the different 'zones' will look like content wise? Secrets let out a bunch of information on that in the EverQuest Legends Discord (I hate discord for this sort of information, for what it's worth). #EQL #EverQuestLegends

Pre-Order for #EverQuestLegends is up - of course I am. www.everquestlegends.com/shop
