Happy New Year! I’ve been working on a poetry book for a year now and I’m so excited to share the news with you! It’s available to download and It’s an EBook! I’ve titled my poetry book TRUTH. It’s a very emotional and vulnerable poetry book. I dive into the past and also the present time. I also have some nature poems and tea and coffee poems as well. I truly hope you purchase the book and if you do please leave a review. I would love to hear what you think of my poetry.
I also opened up my ETSY shop again. I really want to focus on art this year. Have a look if you like.
I hope you are all well my friends. I am starting off this year by being as creative as possible. I need some distraction because this month I have to do a mammogram and I’m so scared and worried. Doing art and writing keeps me so happy and I need to express all my emotions and feelings. I’m really nervous about the scans. I hope you can check out my poetry book and also my etsy shop. It means the world to me. Thank you so much and have an amazing week my friends. Much love and positivity!
I’ve decided to upload my artwork on Red Bubble and see how it goes. Over the years I’ve tried many platforms and not sure which direction I would like to take. There is Etsy and I am thinking about Patreon. What are your thoughts? I would like to know if you prefer prints coming directly from me or another platform? I will be creating photography, art and poetry. Would like to hear your ideas. I really enjoy sharing my artwork with you. Here are some recent paintings that I’ve uploaded to Red Bubble.
Hello my lovely readers and friends! I hope you are all well. One item on my bucket list is to create a mood board. I created a digital one on Canva and I had so much fun creating it. I’ve also made it into a wallpaper for you so you can use if you like.
I poured a lot of creativity into the pages of my sketchbooks and notebooks. I avoided any physical exercise. I know I said I would do yoga but I’m not into it. Just not feeling motivated. As we move into February the sun helps brighten my spirit.
I’ve been writing poetry. I’ve been sharing my poems on IG. @bestdayblogger because I don’t have my computer to upload and edit my vlogs as much I’m spending time on Instagram Reels and IGTV. This year is my first time using those features. It’s fun.
I created a video for my Art Book Flip Trough.
I created a video of my tea collection. I’ve been into a lot of tea drinking lately.
Reading art and writing is how I’ve been spending my creative time. The rest of the time I’m doing laundry, washing dishes and cooking. It gets dark at 5:30 and I hate it. I feel tired and want to sleep a lot but can’t.
Currently reading Alice Hoffman’s Magic Lessons.
I am really enjoying this book.
I completed A Poem For Every Winter Day. A very lovely collection of poetry.
Art in my Moleskine Artbook. I completed my first book. I didn’t use both sides of the pages.
The moon was so beautiful in January.
As for beauty I haven’t put any makeup on. I only use skincare products. Clarins, Pixi Beauty Skincare and Avon Skincare. I will be doing a full skincare winter routine post soon.
That is all for this month. Art, writing, tea drinking and reading. Taking care of the house chores and cooking. Feeding, bathing and taking care of my girls. Taking care of my self also.
I watched a Netflix movie in January. I LOVED IT. It is called Penguin Bloom with Naomi Watts. Based on a true story. It was amazing! You must watch it.
This month’s favourite snacks are chocolate and popcorn. 🍿
I’m also loving my new fountain pen. It’s really beautiful. I received this as a Christmas gift from my wonderful husband. I also completed my Tea Pigs advent calendar and loved opening a tea everyday. It was amazing trying different flavours of teas. Tea Pigs is great!
So goodbye January 2021! I enjoyed each moment and cried many nights missing my father and thinking about him. I had a few sleepless nights. Puffy eyes and bags under my eyes. It is hard. Flashbacks from the final hours with my father come to me all the time and I just start crying. I know the good memories will float above the sad ones one day. Until then I light my candle everyday and pray.
I hope you are all well my friends. Take good care of your selves and your family during these hard times. Spend your time doing things you love and things that bring you joy.
Happy Friday! Hope you all had a lovely week. I’ve been stressing a little this week. My father will be staying with me permanently and I’m going to be taking care of him. It’s a bit stressful because I have both my girls at home doing online learning so I hope things will flow nicely. Fingers crossed. I’m sure it will be fine but I’m stressed and worried. My father is old and Can’t see very well. I also don’t want to see him grow older. My heart is so sensitive at the moment. I will do the best I can for my family. That’s all I can do. Take it one day at a time. I pray for God to keep everyone safe and healthy at this point. Each moment is a gift.
I’m going to be honest and tell you that I’ve already watched two Christmas movies. 😁 I’ve been so stressed that the only thing that has helped is the good spirit of Christmas. I watched “Love the Coopers” and “Christmas with the Kranks”
In the beginning of the week I took the girls for a little walk behind our home and we picked some leaves.
I then had my girls use crayons and do leaf rubbings. They had a lot of fun. My 8 year old set this picture up for the photo. She likes to be creative.
My daughter is studying plants in class and she grew these carrots. I find it so amazing how you can grow things in your own kitchen. Isn’t it fantastic? The possibilities are endless when growing plants.
It’s so nice to go outdoors and play in nature. We need to do it more often. We are stuck indoors doing school and on digital things too much. I’m going to try to get them out more often.
I also made one watercolour painting this week.
I’ve been reading “The Graveyard Book” by Neil Gaiman. So far I love it.
I hope you had a lovely week and I also hope you have a fabulous weekend. Be safe and much love and positivity. Thank you so much for reading my post today and thank you for your lovely comments. Take good care.
