May 2025 calendar page

I'll keep this post short and sweet this month because I've been so busy these past few weeks that it's either write a novel to cover it all, or give a brief summary that only begins to cover it all. So before I dive into the short version of everything, know that you can head to the Freebie zone to download the May 2025 calendar page.

So here is how April has been going in a nutshell :

It's been blistering hot and I can't wait for the monsoon to come, it seems every year is getting worse and worse on that front. My husband has been travelling a lot for work around the same time I was heading to school every afternoons to teach a surface pattern design crash course to 11th grader. I'm still at it until mid-May and adding those 2 hours (plus set up) everyday just before teaching 2 hours of arts and craft classes to 7-8 years olds in the evenings have left me feeling exhausted. Society6 made good on both their promises to delete a lot of old designs and offer the remaining artists more visibility and I'm looking forward to be able to upload new work there soon.

I have neglected YouTube for 2 months now. I just don't have the energy to film content with the school workshop going on, I hopefully will get back on track in the second half of the month once everything settled a bit and before my daughter get's her summer break after just one month of "back to school" after a 3-4 months break. I'm too self conscious about filming when people are around at home. So unless everyone is out the door, I don't feel comfortable talking in front of a camera. On these words, I'll wrap up this blog post and let you go get your calendar page.
