Two posts in one day? Don’t panic, I’m just catching up to August and updating some areas on this website to reflect the name change. What name change? Well, my one of tens of readers…I just changed the name of the site to The Indoorsy Project. Since having my daughter (and then a little Global […]
In August I bought myself a small chunky sketch book with light brown kraft paper pages. Since then I’ve been choosing random pages in it to sketch people and animals. The first thing I drew was a horse, then some faces, then a frog and some more faces. I do use references sometimes, especially for […]
Struggling a bit lately. I need to be honest because not admitting I’m feeling wobbly means staying stuck. I’m angry with myself, overthinking, overly critical, unsure about how best to push through so I’m taking things a day at a time, sometimes half a day.

I’m deep in project mode. Life projects, that is. My birthday is fast approaching. I admit, I’ve been a bit down lately… took an online assessment for depression (okay… I took 5 assessments) and they all came out the same. I’m mildly depressed. But, who isn’t? I’m no special case. I’ll post more about my […]
