One of the most detailed paintings of my art career - my 2026 Halloween painting is here! 68 hours 13 minutes, 158372 brush strokes, and weeks of my life went into this painting and I really hope it’s enjoyed by someone! I’m immensely proud of this piece 🩷 #art #painting #digitalart #portrait

OH MY GOD I bought a plant - was sent the wrong plant - and in my brain fog I sent an email to the one on the invoice asking if they could send my actual plant out to me.... I realise now that I emailed the customer 🥲 I emailed the customer who's order I have and they do not

One of my plants has died (during a period of not being well enough to water her properly) and I'm legitimately really sad about it 😭 she fell apart in my hands 😭 RIP Lucy - you were a wonderful little tillandsia and your next sister will know your legacy 🩷😭

I am 47 hours in now and still nowhere close to finishing. Currently painting in the pearls (which are looking SEXY if I may say so myself 😂) #wip #workinprogress

SCREECHING into the void. Started the headpiece layer. thought a break from the embroidery would be nice but nah, coming back to it here has just made me hate it more 😂 60 HOURS SO FAR....(rounding up a few minutes obvs)

Got moved from the steam machine waitlist to the reservation queue, 3 days ago. Just got my purchase email right now. Hit that fuckin button so fast 😂😂 NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS

I had my MRI checkup a month ago and was expecting a letter with my results. My neuro has booked me in to see him in November. He said he would only do that if there was disease progression shown on the checkup MRI. I am not mentally doing well with this information

I haven't been given my MRI results. This means I most likely have new brain lesions and am currently in active MS and disease progression. This is a really shit place to be in tbh. All my healthcare practioners were hoping for no progression for years or decades and it's happening already

Trying to stay hopeful that it's not too many new lesions growths & that it maybe opens up eligibility for DMTs for slowing the progression but also means side effects etc so it is not the letter I was hoping or expecting 😔

I think that my body is deliberately choosing to be a menace on days when I have other painful things to experience. It was b12 injection day and my arm HURTS and my insides HURT from the gift of periods, which by itself is DISGUSTING because I don't even want, nor ever have wanted kids. Plz yeet 😭

42 hours progress..... I haven't even STARTED the main ruffle/headpiece and the headpiece of the little staff and the beads....I fear I am now in the phase of making art where a short sketch is anything under 20 hours 😂

So now I've kind of recovered from the initial shock of everything - on Wednesday night I was having some trouble breathing and called 111 who called an ambulance. Then spent 2 and a half hours with the paramedics trying to chill my beans in bed. AS IT TURNS OUT what I had initially thought was -

I'm VERY well adjusted to the panic/anxiety attacks I usually have and for this one to trigger based off a physical response I had no control over or realisation of, was a pretty gnarly thing. It's been days and I'm still struggling with my breathing and there's nothing I can do about it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Props to the paramedics for being legends & explaining everything clearly and calmly & stayed with me til I could breathe again instead of gasping 😂 also helping with heat packs & positioning to help ease the hug attack when it moved to my back.Id very much like to breathe normally again soon tho 😂

- an asthma attack (would have been the first in over 15 years), was actually an anxiety attack response to a particularly bad MS hug attack. The banding around my chest and back caused my body to go into a panic and hyperventilating because of the muscle spasms not allowing me a full breath of air-

After 4 hours of this and inability to breathe correctly,the "hug" shifted to my side then back,where I was able to take full breaths again and the panic attack stopped. The hug lasted several more hours. Anyway, out of all the things I knew MS could and will do to me, this was not one I thought of.

I am SCREAMING INTO THE VOID because I decided to fucking paint the gold embroidery and this part alone has taken me HOURSSSS. And I've so much left to do 😭😭😭😭😭

I haven't made enough paintings this year to put a book together and I'm mad at myself about that....but also I am SUPER DUPER disabled/chronically ill so I have spent a lot of time resting instead... So next year I may have to do a 2 year sketchbook book instead

If you don't know what I'm talking about; every year I print a book for myself of all the paintings I've done that year, since I can't keep a traditional sketchbook. And I don't have enough work for a book this year and I'm MAD/SAD about it

FRIENDS It is time to start the Halloween painting. But I'm unsure what to paint this year! I've had a couple of paintings land me in a STRICT shadowban on socials due to "glorifying gore and violence" and I feel like I need to do something less.... Scary 😂 in order to get around the algorithms...

Having firemen in my house tonight (for the report that a disabled person lives here, no fires I promise haha), was dangerous for a chronically single woman 😂😂😂🥵

I’m about to head into a new d&d campaign (shout out the Scots Machina discord plans!) and I always start with visuals and build from there. Here’s my new character Hecate - a moon domain cleric - a satyr but I haven’t done a full body painting yet!🩷#portrait #art #painting #artist

Fuckin hate getting well into the zone of a painting and then your pencil AND iPad battery are about to die which forces a stop 🥲 anyway this is my latest life setup (2 blankets, 2 pregnancy pillows (chronic illness babes whatsuuup) and a new lap desk

Omg elfy why do you need windows open and multiple fans on after a shower? BECAUSE, JEREMY, I HAVE A DISEASE THAT CANT REGULATE MY BODY TEMPERATURE AND I AM A WHOLE NEW SALTY SHOWER IF I DONT SIT WITH FANS ON FOR AN HOUR AFTER
