Week of MEH!

Its kind of been a busy week but it also feels like I wasn't really here.
It happens- you have the best intentions...you're going to do all these projects and get stuff done....and then...that restless aimless feeling happens.
That was me this week. Started out full throttle on Monday and then it was like my brain had a flat tire. It didn't want to do anything. It wanted to sleep.
So I gave myself room to sleep. I let myself wander in and out of rooms "wanting"to do things but saying MEH. I let myself just be. I figure something internal was tired of my busy bee bullshit and needed to rebel a bit.
Its annoying as a super productive person to get like this but there's also not much you can do but go with the flow.
In actuality I did accomplish some things. Like that little video up there.
I added a new app to my arsenal and watched some tutorials on how to use it. KineMaster was compatible with my phone and fairly easy to use. My phone doesn't have a lot of space so videos need to be deleted after uploading but there it is...my first KineMaster video for Instagram. Videos have become very imperative for social media and I am all about the EASIEST LESS TIME CONSUMING way to get something up please!
Also I completed that little meditative painting...
...and I've been invited to participate in a pop up art event next month in the Design District so I can't say MEH anymore...I have work to do.
I'll have two tabletops to fill with small works and prints. The fire has been lit.
Good thing I got my naps out of my system! I'll post more as I get more info about it.
So the weekend is busy, record commissions and doing sketches for a client's custom footwear...and more small painting.

I also started an IG account for my active boy Tuco...because he's cute and it's funny. My other cats will make appearances here and there but he is the ham of the family. You can follow his adventures as a studio cat @tucothestudiocat
Up early about to do all the things and work out-my blood pressure has been great lately. I made a gluten free peach crisp and was naughty and had to have vanilla ice cream with it last night. 😳 So its payback time at the gym. Juggling health, work, personal art career and cats...maybe Im more productive than I give myself credit for! 😛😂 
Have a great Caturday!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
