I have lost a couple weeks and need to get back to work on wipbigbang

[silvercat17]

Saaammmmeee... And yet my brain doesn't want to be creative

[silvercat17]

I finished pretty much all the big stuff for rainbowlists so I'm taking a break from that revamp to... seam rip some pockets out of a couple of pairs of linen pants so Mom can sew them back so they look more authentic for Renaissance Faires.

I also have a ton of picking up to do.

And I'm making a big batch of meatballs so we can have spaghetti and meatballs for Mother's Day

I managed to do some arting today! This is a progress photo, of a painting that was started previously, but I'm finally starting to like how the energy is moving. There shall be little Wyld Dandelyon seed fairies dancing/flying/drifting around on it eventually, and perhaps musicians too. But for now, this is it:

Wow!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I love that pink-yellow-blue palette and the loose fluffy flowers. That's a good living room or bathroom picture.

Re: Wow!

[wyld_dandelyon]

Thank you. It's far from done!

But having been so sick, it is very cheering that I can stare at it and plan.

[fenicedautun]

Very pretty! I'm hearing Tchaikovsky (influence of Fantasia no doubt)

[analogbasilisk]

Poems, because apparently I'm a poet now. Wrote poems and will write more poems.

Go you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

It's not as hard as people make it out to be. Break it down into steps and it's like following a recipe.

*chuckle* One of my fans called me the Bob Ross of poetry. I am so flattered.

Re: Go you!

[analogbasilisk]

Yeah, it's weirdly simple. And somehow there's (usually) someone that likes it, I don't know why.

That sounds flattering.

[wyld_dandelyon]

Yay poetry!

[analogbasilisk]

Yay!

[jvcksinn]

unrelated, but I ADORE your icon omg

[analogbasilisk]

I don't even know where I found it, thought it was cool

My gather post is here, for all Three Weeks for Dreamwidth activities.

I'm posting about birds in birdfeeding and my blog.

See the intro post on allbingo and the intro post on crowdfunding for activities in those communities.

I'm posting the blogging questionnaire one at a time on twitter_refugees.

My main creative activity at the moment is planting. Lots and lots of planting. I bought multiple flats of flowers, herbs, and other goodies. Today's project:
* I weeded and raked the rain garden.
* I planted coral bells and columbine there.
* I planted coleus and pansies ... and then I got rained out before I could finish with the blue lobelia. But we need the rain so I'm not complaining.

There will be a bonus fishbowl in my blog in Tuesday, May 16 with a theme of "anything goes." (You can see a previous "anything goes" fishbowl round from last August.) Come give me prompts, and watch to see new poems going up!

... I always feel like I'm not accomplishing anything, because there's so much left to do, until I try to catch up someone else on what I've been doing.

I know that feeling. If I don't write things down in my planner I completely forget

[dianec42]

I am getting settled in at the new house, practicing some rusty driving and parking skills, and learning where things are. I took Friday off and went shopping: crossed state lines and found my dream quilt shop!

I love living in the land of little bitty states again. California was nice but also BORING.

[silvercat17]

Exciting!

[cornerofmadness]

Unfortunately the DW thing came in the 3 most busy weeks of the semester so I did nothing.

Graduation was today but I haven't got all my grades in, so that, clean house and pack for my conference. those are the goals

[silvercat17]

Those are important goals

[cornerofmadness]

I got most of it done

[cindybug]

I did a bunch of writing yesterday, but today my energy and motivation took a hit.

My goals for next week are to try to get at least one piece of writing edited and ready for posting, and to engage more on Dreamwidth.

[silvercat17]

Good goals!

[cindybug]

Thank you! :)

This last weekend has mostly been about self-care due to a RSI flareup in my wrist and general life stress that my spouse and I have been trying to cope with (it is what it is).

Up until then, I've been working on making a comic (progress so far: completely scripted, half roughed out, 5 pages penciled + inked) and writing non-stop. And those things are absolutely why the RSI got so bad, but I what am I gonna do, not draw???
