@Keo: So two pieces then? What styles would you like me to do?
The doll style is like this-
(since I forgot to add that detail upfront..)
Of course! I've been doing mostly digital art now since the new tablet. XD
Yeah, I was super thankful when I got it. I went with Huion!
The one I had was an XP-Pen star 02 and it was okay (better than my bamboo wacom was) but it was an older model so driver support didn't update enough to keep up with the windows updates. The Huion I got is the new Kanvas 13. (Hubs didn't give me an option for a cheaper one since it was my dream tablet XD)

What I have to give- (Feel free to claim what you need, I'm giving them away)
1 Sticks,
1 Matches,
1 Marshmallows
4 Cattails
3 Pebbles


I'm looking for 1 Snailshells!


@Keo: Oh, that's a smart idea! XD I'm too much of a pushover, I end up sharing my pc and games cause of the puppy eyes... ;;>>

Couldn't be helped. I was warned as a young teen that it might be difficult for me cause of my odd health.
I fully agree. I wasn't actually planning on having my own but he was the best surprise. He's just too much like his dad so I know I can't handle a second kid. ;>> (I love my hubs but they both drive me crazy at times lol)
Yeah, best to wait till you feel ready for another one. XD Right? I took the day to just relax some since the other day was the first day of school because of the quiet.

Right? I was super surprised to hear they had a comeback. I had a very difficult time understanding why they closed in the first place. Drive-ins are the best. XD Yeah, and it can make it difficult to enjoy the movie. Aw... Poor kid. Glad he likes them more now. Is he autistic?

Aw... I bet the's very tough for y'all. But it's good y'all are doing what's best for her and I'm sure she'll appreciate it in the long run.
I don't blame you. That'd be difficult not too. Hopefully, all this clears up soon so it's better.

Lol I don't blame them! It's very cute... I was able to feel more relaxed knowing he wanted to be at school.
He wore himself out though. Like he curled in a ball on the couch and passed out as soon as he got home. It was too cute. XD

@Keo: I do both so it's whatever you want drawn~ X'D
Just let me know what style and such when you post a reference. :p
@Keo: Lol Sounds like it!! Well, if you get a copy for you; let me know how it is? XD
I might end up with a copy just so kiddo can play. He like Spongebob a lot.

Yeah, my hubs grew up with most of them so they treat us like family.

It was. I was sick the whole pregnancy too so it added to the stress. Don't think I can handle going through that all again so I'm sticking with just kiddo. lol

Lmao I'm sure! Gotta get a bit of "me time" in there and without school can really decrease that chance.
Well, of course. The itty bitty ones are hard to be away from. As they get older, quiet time cames way rare so that little bit is nice when it does happen.

That's awesome! We didn't go very often when I was younger, haven't really been in years. Kiddo can't handle the noise yet but I'm hoping they open drive-ins again like they're talking about here! I think he'd enjoy that. Lmao Same with my kiddo!! Popcorn is his favorite... We went shopping last weekend and he got to pick out a treat and instead of candy, he picked a bag of popcorn that was almost as big as he was! X'D

I'm not sure if they had a choice, actually. Like the whole town closed down everything asap when all this stuff started because of the restrictions that got voted in for our town. They take public health very seriously here. (Like way more then the rest of OK)

Lmao Yeah, I've heard the school system isn't that great so I don't blame y'all at all. Hopefully, they update soon. The wait would bug me. XD

Very true! I feel bad for the special needs kids too since they have difficulty understanding what's going on so it's like a curveball for them. And with all the schedule changes, makes it harder for them to stay calm and relaxed. I've had to do double-time just to keep up.
I think you're right! Kiddo fought last year hardcore and this year he couldn't wait to get out the door. X'D
Posted in a little art shop- Open temp... Posted 4 years ago
I updated the front! I now offer either or, on digital or traditional, as I now have a new graphics tablet~
@Keo: Lmao My kiddo does that! Then as soon as I beat the part he wanted help with, he'll say it's "his turn" now.
Does it really? I thought about grabing a copy for my switch lite but wasn't sure if it was any good.

Yeah, they are great; that's for sure. We basically switch back and forth, if they need help we jump in then they do the same for us.
Yep! Can't eat them or touch them. Found out the hard way when I was pregnant, was pulling hubs radishes up for him and got blisters. Not fun. lol

Our area seems pretty unique in that aspect. I've moved around a lot and never had someplace so kind and helpful as here.
I think that's normal for most moms... I'm honestly glad kiddo is back in school cause it means I get a little time to myself. Which I mainly use for cleaning but ehhh. X'D

Lmao That's awesome!! Happy late b-day to you as well then!!
Oh no! That would be super cool for free movies during summer... We get free movies at our theater for a weekend in December as a "Christmas gift". They have a free swim day but we don't go since it's too far to walk... ;>>

Yeah, had to send him in since he has an IEP. Then speech too. *^*
They've been cleaning up and taking super care to decrease chances of spreading that crud around and they'll close the school if anyone gets it and do free online classes. Quite a few parents here choose to homeschool/online school too. Ours made sure to let us know and planned around what parents wanted so we just got a bit lucky there. Oh dear... You'd think they'd at least to a plan and let parents know. I hope they figure out something for y'all soon... School is stressful enough without all the extra fuss. :/

Aww... It's been super hard on kids, that's for sure. We had bumped into another family when we went shopping a week or two ago and he really wanted to play but cause of the social distancing couldn't. Poor kiddo hid behind the couch when we got home. eating his ice cream, cause he was so disappointed. Took a few hours to get him happy again. I'm just happy they are keeping classes small here and not mingling with other classes so the kids can still play with less chance of getting sick. Makes it easier for the littler kids.
@Starlight: Thank you!! *^*
@Starlight: Do you still happen to have an extra Wounded Wildcat? If so, I'd like to buy it, please. *^*
Posted in Done!! Thanks so much~ (lock) Posted 4 years ago
@Starlight: Thank you so much for letting me know. Never got to browse the posts. lol *^*;
Posted in Done!! Thanks so much~ (lock) Posted 4 years ago
Edit: Just managed to get a full set! *^*;


@Keo: Lol My kiddo just steals what games I have and kicks me off so I wouldn't know how that goes.

Lmao Of course! XD Kiddos like the fingers.
It doesn't get easier, that feeling stays. So extra hugs and cuddles makes it feel less bad.

Oh, big time! I had cried because I couldn't handle the stress from it so it was a huge relief.

Yeah, that's the main reason why we wanted it. Otherwise, it would have sat there for years and been even worse...
My hubs had a friend come over and fully collapse the basement there so no one would get hurt. He's already setting up getting it cleared and thanks to our friends, it won't cost so much to clear it since they offered to help.
I thought so! We used to have a garden before hubs got so much more stuff to work on. XD And as long as we don't plant radishes I can handle picking some every so often.

No HOA, just a stricter town with rules so all have to follow it... They let you have decorations and plants that are not food items/edible. And plants that grow anything edible has to be in the back yard and out of sight. We also have to have our grass cut often do to the length rule, plus sweeping any grass out of the road to make it safer for bike riders. And homes need to look "okay", if they end up looking too shabby, you get a warning and/or a fine. There's more but it's a lot to explain. But the town has a lot of very kind people so the elderly or those with health issues get helping hands. And if you can't afford something you really need, the whole town will help you get what they can. It's worth living here just for the kindness. XD

Oh, extra kids. That's even worse. Lol I'm sure you got worn down but hopefully, you took some you time?
Thank you!! Lol Yep! Mine was on the 9th. How about you?

Yeah, I feel you on that!! It was disappointing since so much closed down. I was really looking to the car shows and stuff. (mainly since kiddo and hubs like them so much) But I'm just glad things have calmed some. That and kiddo getting to go back to school, he really missed his friends. *^*;;
@Keo: I don't blame y'all there. That's unfortunately how it goes when you're in a set space with so many peps. *^*;

Rightly so. XD When I had a small laptop, it wasn't so bad. But the regular screen makes it too big and messes with my eyes.
Oh, that sounds fun! I never had anyone to game with on minecraft since I couldn't play often. lol

Could be since some do. I'm sure. It's such a big milestone. But I'm sure he feels better about it, teething can be so painful.
I fully understand there! *^*; I feel like I blinked and mine was way bigger. I should have taken waaay more pictures. >>

Yep! Mostly, anyway. Still have one small room and the bathroom to fix up but I gotta have storage space first so dunno how that'll go.
Oh, it was... Took a few extra hands to get it done but we managed okay.

Yeah, mainly cause it means we get to clear it... It's bug-infested and super dangerous so I'm glad it'll be taken care of.
(As soon as we can afford to clear it anyway) The house isn't very big, it's a very small two-story but the yard was average here.
And our yard is on the smaller end so it'd be considered a large yard when it's together. I dunno the actual size though... I'm not really good at measuring. >>
Right now our yard is a workspace for my hubs so there's not very much room for anything in our yard, besides his stuff, so I'll probably make the new addition as playspace for kiddo. Maybe a bit for a small veggie garden cause we're not really allowed to do anything other then flowers up in the front yard. XD

It was alright! I'm worn out mainly since I was working with kiddo constantly. Didn't get to do much at all otherwise. Had a nice birthday though. *^* How about you?
@Keo: That's good.
I don't blame you! It's been tough with everything going on. I'm been just lurking mostly.
Lmao I wish I could, I have issues with the graphics and the game movement.
Aww. They grow so fast. Bet he wasn't too happy.

Pretty good! We got the upstairs complete enough to move back up.
Then we're working on buying the decrepit house next to us.
It's not safe to live in so we plan on clearing it and having a nicer/larger yard.
(Aka enough room for all of us to have our own areas.)
