playing with LEGO
I've been playing with LEGO lately. I love it. While playing and building, my brain slips into meditation mode.
I put on some relaxing music or a podcast, and I'm in another world.
K got me this set as an early bday present <3
I feel like a kid again.
How cute? The next LEGO project I'd like to make is this radio.

I feel burnt out with trying to share/sell my zines and art. I need something new to focus on in life. Putting my Kofi store on a quiet hiatus, meaning I'm only offering digital zines atm. I'll be taking a break from making any new zines for a bit. I want to explore new things.
Been looking into finding solo tabletop games. I didn't even know that was a thing until I saw a girl reviewing them on YT.
Cancelled all of my Patreon subscriptions, Netflix, and other paid apps I don't need. Trying to streamline my finances and using the art supplies/paper things I already have.
I love the look of this blog I found this morning. How cute are those pink buttons, and the background grid is fun.
I'm rethinking my links page. I've taken it off my nav for now bc I'm contemplating a better way to showcase my changing tastes. Do I keep it as a forever-growing archive list of all the blogs I've loved since time immemorial? Do I keep it as a current reflection of the blogs I love now? No idea.
Playing Sudoku like my grandmother lately.
Wishlist: I have visions of myself making no-knead bread in this gorgeous Thyme color Dutch oven, but wow, v spency.
I almost cringe at some of my older posts, but I quickly remind myself that trying in earnest isn't cringe.
Hey Lilly, you promised us daily blog posts; the people are waiting. (omg this new bear feature of pasting a url over selected text to generate a markdown link is GOLD. Ty Herman)
