I have been painting and other arts my whole life. I got my first sketch book in 6th grade and that when I really took a liking and spent a lot of time to improve my art skills. I started by drawing little cartoons but moved to drawing and painting people. Currently I can draw almost anything if you give me an image to draw from.
I started painting with arylic paint, then watercolor and most resently oil paint. My favorite has been oil paint but I don't have anywhere to store the finished pieces and let them dry for month. So I mostly use arylic paints. The only painting medium I have not used is Gouache, it's like a misxture of arylic and watercolor paints.
I have been crocheting for a little over a year now, I started December 2023. My mom taught me the basics when I was younger but never took a liking to it. Until my best friend wanted to learn so I taught her the basics and just really liked it. I have crochet over 100 items now, mostly stuff animals. I have crochet probably over 10 croptops, 1 sweater, 5 hats, 1 pair of gloves, 2 scarfs, 2 balacavas, 4 blankets, and 4 bags. I have sold some of my work to friends, family and coworkers. I can make things if I can find a youtube tutorials.
I started reading in my 10th grade year (2022), its has been almost 3 full years of reading. My reading goal in 2022 was 60 as I started reading in March and I completed the goal with an extra 1, so 61 books. In 2023 my reading goal was 250 book and I didn't complete that and read 222 books, so total book count is 283. And last year 2024, my reading goal was 200 and I also didnt finish that goal and read 150 books last year, so total book count that I have read is 438 books with the couple I have read this year 2025. This year my goal is to read all 65 books on my book shelf that I dont want to keep, so I can read on my kindle instead and have limit the amount of books and items in my room. My reading goal is 500!
