Thank you so much to everyone who congratulated me on the book being so close to release!! 💙💛

It’s been a long journey—and we’re *almost* there. The big and scary tasks are mostly through. All that’s left is the small things.

Thank you for cheering me on!! 🙇🏽‍♀️

For this week’s #ArtFriday, I’m sharing my new profile pic!!

I while back I had a really cute chibi profile image that I was pretty proud of at the time, and I thought I’d do a new take on it with all I’ve learned since.

Thank you, Love.

My anxiety has been at peak levels (with the book almost here), but I’ve been doing my best at staying calm. 🍵

In my off time I’ve been trying the Greatsword in MHRise. I’m finding the weapon to be quite rewarding because it requires so much patience.

Gotta take things slow. 💜

For this week’s #ArtFriday—I’m releasing some art from the vault! 🖼✨

Earlier this year Kitty & I went back to Stardew Valley for the 1.5 patch, starting a new farm from scratch + new characters. My character’s on the right, Kitty’s on the left.

Someday we’ll 100% the game~ 🤠🎣
