Hey ! I missed you !!

I ended up taking part in a fantastic BBQ for 4/20, so I decided to skip my last entry. Some dear friends and I grilled up some Asada and projected the movie “Smiley Face” (2007) in the backyard to celebrate the occasion <3

As far as creative projects … . . . .. . . .. . .. .


I did a little drawing in the sketchbook ⋆｡°✩ ⋆｡°✩

I also made monkey ears for my trip with a friend to the Santa Ana zoo the Sunday before last. They were so super simple to make: I hand-stitched the felt pieces together, and left a little space in the inner corners so the ears can slide along the headband.



I like them, but almost feel like they’re almost too simple and have considered adding buttons or a textured fabric or something to make them more interesting.


Maybe later idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for now, I’m a simple monkey.

It’s also quite a bit early, but I’ve been pondering Summerween/Halloween costumes . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁



I‘m happy to think of them sooner than later so I can put time into sourcing materials second-hand and making the details myself. The costumes I did last year were fun, inexpensive, and mostly handmade, but I’ve set my sights on some cool projects this time around. I don’t think I’ll share them just yet? I still want to ensure the more involved ideas are possible, but in one of my next few posts I’ll probably share some ideas and their plans :,) I’m so excited!! 

It’s felt like a long 2 weeks, but that’s kind of everything I did creatively. I was needed pretty busy and needed elsewhere, but have plans for the week to come!

ₜₕᵢₛ wₑₑₖ: apparel & drawing & gift ideas

I just picked up a few blank shirts and have a few ideas for them. I also have some projects from a few weeks back I keep meaning to go back to, but just haven’t. so i'm hoping to work on some clothes this week and maybe jewelry?


There are also a few birthdays/celebrations coming up for me, so I may start putting together some gift ideas :-)


I’ll probably draw more too – I’m yearning to make doodles that make me proud.



I like u I appreciate u

Thank you for stopping by for this brief catchup
