Happy Holidays + Update
4 years ago
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas/holiday despite covid! Some good and bad things so let’s get the bad over first-
The lockdowns in the uk were pretty sudden so me and my sister couldn’t spend Christmas or New Years with my parents. I was looking forward to seeing them again but its just not worth risking it especially with the new strain. It sucks but on the bright side I had a lovely Christmas with my boyfriend instead and I’ll be spending New Years with him too!
My mum can’t get the vaccine. Until this is figured out, hopefully. In the uk the nhs has been told not to give the vaccine to anyone who has a significant allergy as some folk with allergies have been having bad reactions to the vaccine. My mum has a lethal allergy to peanuts and latex. She’s understandably worried as am I. So guys, please, even when the vaccines roll out please continue to be mindful for the safety of others not so fortunate.
Brexit. Along with all the other shit it’s going to cause, Brexit might screw with my shop because of the new taxes. Shipping will me more expensive at the very least. So cheers to anyone who voted for that.
Now to the good news! That’s me finished my temp job since the lockdowns kind of ended it early. It was tough at some points but honestly the staff were so nice and the manager’s just the sweetest person. Everyone just worked really well together, and I appreciate how hard that is to find in retail. Especially now!
Still, I’m going to enjoy a bit of a rest for a few days and then I’ll get back to focusing on my projects!
I’m itching to try some new supplies out. I got some roman szmal watercolours from my boyfriend that I’m eager to try out. And during the black Friday sales I got some more etchr sketchbooks and brushes. Including the fancy signature sketchbook with fabriano paper. Anyone else get nice art supply hauls this Christmas?
Still thinking of opening small commissions in a couple of weeks. Like small-ish watercolours. Something with full colour that isn’t going to be too expensive or time consuming. Would folk be interested in that?

It's sad you didn't get to see your family, but as you say, there are the good things about doing it only face to face with the one you love ~
Afterwards, this exceptional year allows you to try videoconferencing, even if it's not the same as together in the same room.
The vaccine is coming, I also have doubts, but I would have no choice but to have it injected, as I work in a public space for a town hall and in direct contact with the public x).
As you give the opportunity to test your new drawing materials, I would be interested to be your test ! :D I have a little dragon that might suit your style, or one of my Pokémon ~
Can I send you a private message?
Thank you in advance ~
Yeah, my mum isn't a fan of video calls but we all phoned each other, so that was nice. Could have been a lot worse and been stuck on my own.
By the sounds of it, its only a danger if you have bad allergies. Thankfully, I don't have any, so I'll definitely be getting it!
Oh right! I'm not really open for commissions right now. I still need to decide exactly what I'll be offering. But I'll post a journal/submission when I'm ready!
I will check at the right moment ^^
