The Secret to Curating Your Dream Life

Curating your dream life. It’s a phrase we’ve heard pretty frequently (especially since the advent of Instagram and the curated feed). But what does curating your dream life really mean? In my opinion, it’s not getting rid of anything that’s not “perfect” in favor of only having the most beautiful things in your life. Instead, I think curating your “dream life” really means having an “outside looking in” perspective. I think about the things I wanted so badly five to ten years ago. Seven years ago, I was planning a big move across the country to Boston. I [...]

The February Recap

Usually, March is one of the longest months of the year for me. It seems like as short as February always feels, March is determined to do the opposite and stretch on for twice as long as any other month. Not this month though. Somehow I started writing this February recap and before I knew it, I was sending it out almost half way through the March! But anyway, you’re not here for a long-winded intro, so let’s just dive in to everything I got up to last month!   Patreon I have decided that this year, I’m putting most [...]

The January Recap

CONGRATS! You made it to February! I know a lot of people really struggle with January, but I actually really enjoyed this month! Part of it has to do with some important realizations I had over the Christmas break that have helped me have a better mindset and improved mental health going into the New Year. Another part of it, I strongly suspect, has to do with finishing some pretty substantial projects over the last few weeks. Read below to find out about those! Patreon   At the beginning of the month, I sent out some little postcards of [...]

The 2021 Recap

As I’m sure you can relate, I typically forget just how many things happened over the last year. So while it might be a little difficult to actually remember what happened, I do enjoy writing these yearly recaps because it gives me a chance to go look back through everything I’ve done and remember that I actually have accomplished a lot this year! And to recognize that I have a lot to be proud of!   January   The biggest thing that happened in January was announcing that Kristina and I would be doing another book soundtrack for the Green [...]

The November Recap

Maddie Mondays are Back! *If you’re new here, Maddie Mondays are my personal project days, where I don’t work on anything WORK related, and get to do whatever house project I’m currently knee deep in! I finally have time to dedicate to Maddie Mondays, and I am SO excited! Of course, the first thing I had to tackle on my first Maddie Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving) was switching over my home décor from fall to Christmas. My house is now fully decked out (at least inside), so now I’m focusing on a long-awaited project - the board [...]

The October Recap

Twitch Last week, we had the inaugural Sugar Springs Halloween party stream over on Twitch and it was honestly a blast! We did some fun Halloween-themed costume sketches and I let people use their channel points (earned by watching my streams) to redeem me bobbing for apples in exchange for prizes! I was offering everything from private zoom lessons, to prints, to freebies from my shop. And if you were wondering, with all the apple bobbing, my costume makeup definitely did not survive the night, as you can see: With the success of our Halloween party, I [...]

September Recap

Green Rider: First Rider's Call All but two of the photos have been shot! The last two are portraits, so they should be relatively quick to get (she said, famously). So, from now until mid-November, I’ll be locked in my studio (panic) editing the remaining images. And then it will finally be time to put together the art book and do all the fun things, like decide which images will be up for options as ornaments. Speaking of ornaments, don’t forget! If you couldn’t decide which add-ons you wanted during the fundraising campaign, remember that lots of them [...]

My August Recap

Maddie Mondays *If you’re new here, Maddie Mondays are my personal project days, where I don’t work on anything WORK related, and get to do whatever house project I’m currently knee deep in! The infamous path is finally finished! Well, mostly. The bricks are officially laid, and the grass on both sides has been killed and turned over. On Saturday, I went with my mom and sister to buy some plants for the beds, so, now it’s basically just the finishing touches - I need to “grout” the path with sand to help stop the bricks from shifting over [...]
