Just Create - May?

[silvercat17]

We made it to May? April is over?

How are you doing? What are you up to? Don't feel bad if you haven't gotten anything done - life is weird and stressful right now! (which is why I've only been tagging the last few weeks as "check-in")

I made cookies last night (after nagging from my Mom since I had said I was going to do it weeks ago, but it's been SO HOT)

I started a cross-stitch. It doesn't look like much yet.

I've been working in my office, a bit.

I read two books! The Black Dogs duology by Ursula Vernon. Which I got with the Digger Omnibus Kickstarter, so, yeah, that's been a while.

Been watching way too much of the new Ducktales.

I only have two boxes and a bin left to go through in my office!

Go you! \o/

Oooh, cookies sound nice!
Good luck with your cross-stitch, and with your office!

I've just started on a couple of drawings based on stories by small children. I'd been having a long uncreative patch and now I've got a project.

I've also been sewing masks.

Your art project sounds really cool O:
Good luck with it! It's really nice to get back into creative things after being blocked for a while.

I posted my normal end of month crafting update in my journal. Summary: the beginning of the month was productive, but then I got distracted by video games and barely did anything else.

Today I started on Drinking Games Shawl, in which the lace is determined by buzzwords in the media you're consuming. I have chosen to listen to the Harry Potter audiobook, because it's currently offered from the library via Overdrive with no wait. I'm two chapters in, and might need to add buzzwords because I haven't encountered many so far, but it should pick up once Harry makes it to school.

I feel you on the getting distracted by games, haha;;
That shawl idea is super cool, good luck with it! :D

I've been in a bit of a slump with the general weirdness of everything, but the past couple days I've been able to sketch little things again in my sketchbook! It's nice <3

I also made a few origami butterflies the past couple weeks, which were fun little creative projects for when I couldn't do the drawing thing <3

Go you!

i wrote a bunch of porn this week lol three stories of it. also made some progress in creating the sound of my fictional band, and i'm kinda fucked because now i have to write about 30 songs and i can't play a single instrument or sing (i have some friends who are musicians and they offered to help, tho). i also made album covers! they're here, if anyone wants to see them. most of the song titles are in portuguese, tho, only the ones at the end of the page have titles in english. an online translator can help, if you want to read them.

i also spoke to my therapist. i'm feeling well, overall, but at the same time i'm not very healthy because i'm too fixated on doing my projects and i'm not doing anything else. i'm afraid to take a break because i know that if i think about what's happening outside my head even for a minute, i will collapse. so escapism it is.

hope everyone has a nice/at-least-bearable week.

[silvercat17]

Yeah, it's hard to balance what you gotta do with what is keeping you sane. Glad you have some help with it!

This has been a rotten week. My housemate's 15-year-old cat died Monday so I haven't been able to concentrate on much. I was with him when he got Durwood from the shelter. :(

I'm trying to learn the front post double crochet stitch for a scarf. So far I've unraveled the same two rows three times. At this point I don't care what the final product looks like as long as it gets done.

[silvercat17]

Oh no. I'm so sorry.

I've been working on and off on some Mary Poppins fanart, but it's been mostly 'off' these days because even simple tasks are taking it all out of me and of course the stuff I have to do at work is never simple, pbbbt. I've mostly just been playing video games (I bought 'For the King' on Steam recently sight-unseen just because it has online co-op, and it turns out it's a really fun game even by ones self).

[silvercat17]

I hear you - everything is such a chore right now
