AvPD & ADHD vlog - stressful errands & finally making art again 

I purposely left the sound in the timelapse because it cracks me up 😂 just needed you to know it was a conscious decision ok byyyyye

Oh wow. Those photos turned out so cool. I’m definitely going to get into that. So much to play around with. Thanks for sharing this. I’m super stoked to know of a new type of art I can play with. Oh and love to the fur balls! Of course I love them! 😅🩷

Cyanotypes finally arrived and lived up to the hype! I love this deep indigo blue color.

2:52 - You can also make _'bread-pudding'_ with those 'heel's! - croutons, stuffing/dressing - or, if one is not crust-averse, toast them, they hold a lot of butter! 😃

I saw a large Wolf Spider once in Kalkaska, MI. It was quite startling! The spider crossed the floor and disappeared.

Thanks for showing us the process for making cyanotypes they are so cool! I definitely want to try it out.

You do have a beautiful home!! I like you am very thankful for my current living situation in life that has been the result of my wife and i qorking really really hard, mainly her making the 💵 and me playing the supportive role of house husband. 💜 Ok I'm at the point in the video where you are at Walmart, let me finish the video now, I'll probably just need to comment again.😅

I like bread butts and I cannot lie! That’s my favorite part.

Hey Maxine! That's so beautiful, wanderful art. I never heard about it or at least I don't remember that heard about it. And after your explanation, showing process and get beautiful results I read about it in wikipedia and then some articles ❤😮 Perfect color and perfect art. Thank you for show it for us...😊

I really appreciate the consciousness in reassuring that you in no way intend to display your present living situation as some kind of gloat. Not that you owe anyone any such explanation, but for you to go into detail in how you came to be where you are is very likely relatable to more than not. Glad you now enjoy such a living situation. I too avoid the more busy Wal-Marts whenever possible, for the reasons you detailed. I still almost only ever go to any, even the smaller locations, as early in the morning as possible. Good that you're exercising that kind of exposure practice, it's important that we gradually allow ourselves to better acclimate to such environments. Very interesting to see more of the print making process fleshed out. I think I like the print with the plants the most; the detail of all the stuff on the leaves, especially when washed in the peroxide, appealed to me.

Thanks for taking the time to vlog for us. I must admit am so pleased wolf spiders do not exist over here in England. I have to say well done on starting on the wrapping the gifts, I am pondering descending to using aluminium foil this year as I hate it. I use to pay my sister to wrap them for me till she selfishly got married and moved away :)

I enjoyed this 😇 thank you. Would you characterize the day you had in this video as an “up” day, a good day, or an average kind of meh day for you?

have u ever tried doing cyanotype on a shirt ??

❤ Genuine question. What IS IT that you feel, when you feel down/ nervous/ avoidant? What has changed, or what emotion do you feel? (As a fellow suffer, I know how it feels, but I want you to think about it.) Dig deep into that, and question yourself... your motives. "Why do I feel like pooh?" When you dig deep enough, you begin to realise that it's yourself. *I'm* the one feeling this. *I'm* the only cause. And *IF* you can get to that place, in your thinking... then you can also get to the next place, which is... If it's *ME*, then I can do something about it. I can refuse to feel it anymore. I can get out of my own way. I can put on some uplifting music. I can surround myself with cut flowers and a fresh fruit bowl. I can pray. I can give thanks. And Be happy. And you can! Your house is lovely and you don't need to feel guilt about it. Or anything! No one is judging you. You are judging yourself... And you can change that! Lift your energy. Decide to change your internal channel/chatter... and DO NOT LET IT IN! imagine it as a little demon, and banish it from your life. Forever. I know you can do it. X🥰

15:57 - I used to love wrapping gifts! (no doubt, I had it down to a 'science') 😺
