This week my knitting project came to a standstill as I just didn’t have the energy or the drive to work on my project. I’m finding it difficult to come home from a long day at work and want to knit. I can see this going over differently once I get better and don’t have to think so hard about every small move that I make. Instead of knitting this week, I took to the internet in search of a…

PSA: This post is going to talk about mental wellness. We all know why our reading week in February falls when it does and this year I really felt it.

Ahhhh…. Reading Week. A welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday school and learning life. This week has offered some opportunities for catching up, reflecting and even a trip to the USA with my kids. Don’t get too excited for me – I live as close to Minot, ND as I do Regina, […]

╭────────────────────────────────»»❀❀❀««────────────────────────────────╮ “The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands” Leonardo da Vinci ╰────────────────────────────────»»❀❀❀««────────────────────────────────╯ Welcome everyone, Today, I am going to try and push myself outside of my comfort zone by creating a PixilArt landscape. Last week, I really enjoyed the ClipChamp program, so I am going to use the same video software to document my progress! As demonstrated in the video, I began by looking up various PixilArt landscapes to gain inspiration. After doing some digging on Reddit website, I found a link to an amazing blog, called SLYNRD, that goes through various tutorials such as animated, static, and mini PixilArt projects. It was just my luck that the author provided a landscape pixeling blog, so I had the opportunity to learn and follow along using only this resource. Although I want to say that the tutorial was easy to follow along with… it was not. Instead of providing a video, the tutorial was a continuous Patreon presentation on loop that could not be paused. The slides – having roughly 10 seconds on content each – moved far too quick for me to follow along and/or keep up with. If I missed a step or demonstration, I had to watch the whole loop again until I got back to that point. After getting frustrated, I just decided to stop watching the tutorial and try to figure out the process – specifically the clouds – on my own. Though I had troubles following the tutorial, I am extremely happy with how my project turned out. The finished product: Now, I want to try something new for next week… and I need your help. What should I create next?! Let me know in the comments below. Thank you so much for reading. Have an amazing week!

This week I decided to test out an article on how to play Ukulele. I have been using mostly interactive apps and videos so I thought I would give an article a try this week. I feel like if I were just starting and using this website I would be very lost and stressed out.

At the beginning of this journey I created a goal to workout 2-3 times per week. This is a goal I have been able to obtain so far (even if some of my yoga sessions are cut short with my baby’s short naps), and I am proud of myself for[Read more]
