Currently November 2022
Ahh November. You were filled with so many emotions. You usually are. I am glad you’re over.
November marked 5 years since the passing of my Mom. This Currently Workbook project was born out of grief. I’ve been productive with my feelings through art.
I made an altar for her at my dinner table.
In my currently workbook this month, I drew thanksgiving foods.
I used black gesso on top of the paper. Then I added white flowers with a white posca pen.
I added paint on top and played around with colored pencils.
Pretty fun.
Flip the page.
All the good things that happened this month. I colored it all in orange cuz I was bored.
Putting the NO in NOVEMBER.

When I want to daydream.
Love really is strange. This one is haunting me.
Cooper likes to listen to this when I pick him up from school. It relaxes him.
Dream Life:
I had a dream that I bought a pink couch. I also had a dream that I was in a department store and saw a woman that looked like my Mom. That’s all I can remember right now.
Eating/Drinking:
Going through a Brussels Sprouts & Hash brown phase.
Thanksgiving dinner with my brother!
My crustless pumpkin pie was yummy.
My Mom’s Spanish Garlic Shrimp is saving me right now.
I added pumpkin seed brittle to the rotation.
I’ll share this recipe one day.
Been living off of snacks lately.

These Cheesy Potato Stacks were a real treat.
I had a few good avocados this month. Praise be!
