I overdid it. Three nights of work finally hit me square in the face. Had a headache all day, slept for probably 12 hours, sat and vegged out on my iPad. This is actually pretty typical. I get sleep deprived a lot. You'd think I'd just do things earlier, but I have absolutely zero motivation to do anything during the day. At night it's like someone shoved a battery up my ass, and I go full-power mode. ADHD is one hell of a hassle.
Just because I was feeling like crap during the day doesn't mean I took the night off. So it seems I was wrong, my mom still had plants for me. I started the night planting them in my frog tank. I planted pothos, wandering dude, spider plant, snake plant, and a cutting from my Thanksgiving cactus that had rooted nicely since the craft fair. The adhesive on the velcro is continuing to piss me off. I'm not really sure how I'm going to get these stupid thermometers to stick.
After that was complete, I decided to tackle my very messy art table.
It's been a mess since the craft fair, I haven't done anything arty since that day.
Cleaned and organized all of it, because I'm probably not going to be making jewelry anytime soon. I'm planning on needle-felting for a while. Set up a snack, drink (not pictured, I left it on the sofa), and Bruiser to the left of me. I then began to felt, also eating pretzels while watching/listening to I Am A Killer on Netflix.
Bruiser got a few little pretzel pieces too. (Excuse my dirty fingernails, they're still like that from when I mixed all that soil.) I had completely forgotten how tedious needle-felting is. It took me hours to just make a head, body, and arms for a pink kitty. Or maybe I'm not doing something right. Maybe my needle is dulling? I decided to order a needle tool just in case. That will also help me felt faster because you can use up to 7 needles.
It's got thumbs. Seriously though, I can't believe this is all I made tonight. My thumb and index finger on my left hand have all these little blood specks where I poked myself too. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be more efficient when I get the felting tool. Another expense though... I'm getting tired of making purchases.
Well, I'm going to call it a night. I'll continue this project later.
