Fight for Creativity

and the why?

Life update

After Ramadan, catchup to all junk food is ongoing. I have consumed more coffee and chocolate to sustain me for the next ten years! I got a pasta maker for Mother’s Day, which I have wanted forever. I made my first pasta from the book called Silver
Spoon. Have you heard of the book? It was OK… Didn’t love it. I would love love a good recommendation. 

Ladooladoo— Shop update 

I got two orders. OMG Yes!! I literally cried and screamed at the same time. I wish I knew how to make an emoji of that. And now back to sending more emails.

I have been working on self-portraits lately. Trying to understand my style, palettes, and materials I love. Here is the latest one…

I recently read this piece again that I had saved a while ago and it made me cry and I felt seen in this woman’s struggles. It gave me hope and affirmed that my decision given up on volunteering for my children’s school to create my art was the right one for me.

My mother is thriving in her Second Act

That’s all my friends. Hope you have a lovely June, full of laughter, laziness, and icecreams.
