The Now Now

August 2025


General

UPDATE: The smoke has finally cleared. For now. Starting to feel relief from cabin fever. Flew kites for the first time since I was a little kid(!!!) and took a spontaneous trip to the International Peace Garden and geocached all over the place. I also bought more postcards because I want to start Postcrossing again!

There is so much wildfire smoke this year and I have been cooped up inside for a lot of the summer. My sister said I have "Caged Tiger Syndrome."

Thinking about loading up on tea because of duties/tariffs. I wish I could order from white2tea but am planning to try Yunnan Sourcing since they have a US-based warehouse...


Art Projects

1. Prepping panels for my Art Ghoullery paintings. More info to come.

2. Finished up Shark Week Sketch Jam! Check it out.

3. Planning pixel stickers for this site (and for others to use?)

Other Projects

1. Learning Python

2. Learning JavaScript

3. Makin' a coyote mask for Halloween. Using a papercraft fox mask as the base. I might papier mache on top to smooth it out? And then paint to look like a coyote.
