A box full of KILN ME SOFTLY copies

If I could only tell fanfic-writing, book-loving Rachel of teen’s past that, as hard as things are, and as hard as they might always be, one day she gets to sit in the sun with a box of books she wrote in front of her. 🧡

I'm still here for you if you ever want to talk. Dm me on IG whenever. 🫶

Two watercolour paintings: one of tulip fields with a windmill in the distance and one of a sunset over lavender fields

First sketchbook page complete and I’m obsessed 🌷

A lush green forest landscape with foliage and sunlight beaming down onto grass with a silhouette of a rabbit.

I’m yet to follow a tutorial by Let’s Make Art that hasn’t left me with something very very beautiful. I love my little watercolours. I love artists and art and educators. I love that my instinct is to love and create even when the world is so bad.

I’ve updated my Etsy shop with some new watercolour paintings! Most of these won’t be recreated so when they’re gone, they’re gone. 🌾

A watercolour painting depicting a brown pathway leading through grass, towards trees, hills, and grey mountains.

Took the tape off and cried because this is the prettiest thing I’ve ever painted and feels like a little bit of my soul

I hate fireworks so much.😒

Thanks, Andrea!💛

This is gorgeous. Don't worry about the double photo. It makes it twice as nice.

It's my birthday! I'm 37!

I'm okay. I went to the ER to get checked today. They think my blood pressure dropped after getting up too quickly. It didn't help that my cockatoo had bitten me. I was washing my bloodied finger when I lost consciousness. I hit my head and hip and was out for about a minute or less.🙃

Hope you feel better soon enough to enjoy the holidays. I currently have a headache after having hit the back of my head last night when I lost consciousness in the bathroom.🙃

Oops, lol.😂

Is it good yet?👀

That sucks. But both those things would have had me knocked out in seconds. I love the rain and the sound of pets snoring.😂

Lol, I think I suggested this film a while back when you were looking for odd movies to watch.

I'm so proud of my friend!!! This is a beautifully written story and deserves all the awards! ❤️

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon.

I had an amazing time at Jujitsu today, and I had a really awesome partner. She was super cool about taking me through the steps since I'm new to the sport. It's a great start to my day today.

This is my absolute favorite book! Go get it now, you'll loooove it!😍

WIP update: 30k words written. Title: It’s Not You, It’s Me (and Zombies) Ziggy’s forehead met the cold glass of the mirror above the sink, eyes closing as more tears came. She couldn’t control them. “We did the right thing,” Louisa said, and then she was there, her hands cupping Ziggy’s cheeks, the smell of blood all over her. “She wouldn’t have asked if there was another way. We did the right thing, didn’t we, Ziggy?”
