Glimmer Tree

So, I'm officially on maternity leave and the proud (tired) parent of a small creature who (albeit being wonderful) is an enormous drain on my time and energy... Who would have thought? (Only every mother who has ever existed)

I naively thought I would have a ton of free time while he slept, but, as can be discerned by my lack of posts, that's hardly the case. Don't get me wrong, this time is wonderful, magical (etc etc etc) and I'm enjoying it immensely... I'm just sad that I've lost the time for other things I love (like sleep. Oh I miss sleep...)

However--eureka!-- there's bee a small breakthrough in past days: I've discovered that I can wedge a nursing pillow into my computer chair and do a bit of loose sketching, while he snoozes away.

Just taking the time for little sketch exercises feels great (and is much more rewarding that binge-watching tv series on netflix).

Woo!
