I don’t have any #sunflowers in my backyard but I think they are great so here’s a sunflower from another #nostrich because you can always find something great on #nostr #gm #blooming #flowerstr View quoted note →

Being proud of myself for getting what I needed to do done by midnight because that means I still have a few hours to read before going to bed … then realizing I forgot to change the time zone on my iPad and it’s really 2 am so just going to bed. GN!

Updated my Reading tracker with all the books read while visiting my mom. 📚 Going to make my own Reading tracker for next year as I want more room to write in the titles and authors. Also, while I may have read that many books a year in junior high, I have other stuff I want to do more, so less shelves are needed these days. #reading #bookstr #books #tracker

Renewed for another year of being a Creator with Nostr.build - many thanks to @The Fishcake (nostr.build) and all involved providing this service. 💙🫂🙏 #grownostr #supportdevs #media #nostronly #plebchain #gratitude

Finally figured out the note I wrote to myself a month ago about a book I wanted to get was not, in fact, “Drowning with Chickens” but was instead “Drawing with Children.” #bookstr #reading #penmanship #handwriting

Amy has a new free pattern class coming up August 19-23. I’ve really enjoyed her Inchie Challenge in past years, so looking forward to this. There’s a callout at the top of her website to sign up with an email address to receive prompts during the event and a link to a prep video and supplies suggestions. https://mindfulartstudio.com/ #art #artstr #artchallenge #drawing #patterns

Being away from home for 2 months means a lot of mail to catch up on; mostly crap, some bills, and occasionally a gem like this …. Original #art from a #nostrich #artstr 😍 A piece of @zed-erwan☕️✏️🎨 sketchbook that arrived from France!!! 🇫🇷 🎉🙏

Back home in TX where it’s going over 100F/37C today. No more morning mountain walks, so getting a round of steps inside and may venture out in the late evening. #proofofwalk #indoors #dowhatyoucanwithwhatyouhave

61/61 - Crazy bird lady And that’s a wrap for my participation in the 2024 Index Card A Day art challenge. 🎉 Created some really fun collages, some of which sparked story ideas, so I may recreate the image and write a matching microfiction. 💡🖌️✍️ 3” x 5” (index card) book pages collage #art #artstr #artchallenge #indexcardaday #dyicad2024 #collage #rustypuppyart

Last pen drawing of #dogstr theme in my 4” x 4” sketchbook. This month and this topic was the first time I felt I wanted more space to sketch. Interesting feeling, as the reason I went down to a little 4” square sketchbook was because I didn’t keep up a daily drawing habit in a larger format. Not sure what I’m doing for August, or in what sized sketchbook. #art #artstr #drawing #dailyart #dog #rustypuppyart

Thank You card I made for the artist neighbor using some of the encaustic photo papers I made at her house. The blue background is also photo paper but I used my alcohol inks on it (Copic marker refills). #art #artstr #encaustic #alcoholinks #gratitude
