An update, I think.

October 10, 2021

Things haven’t been much different. I think I always talk about the same things with these updates. And also things hasn’t been much different too. Except for our toddler who is constantly changing and growing, our lives is mostly the same.

Last month I was busy with portraits which was nice. I felt productive and also tried to work every day during the day which is quite a nice change. We’ve been wanting to get E used to me working while he plays. And recently he did quite well in understanding that I will work for a bit(mostly for an hour) and he plays on his own. I am still available but we set up some boundaries and limits and main thing is to be confident with those limits and usually it works out. Some days it doesn’t and we just keep trying.

It’s October now. Three more months and it’s the new year. Recently when I was updating this website, I just realised that it’s been almost 7 years(in December) since I started SatsumaOrange. I can’t believe it . It feels like it’s been only a couple of years. But I guess the first two or three years was busy. We were always up to something, with markets and events. I’ll try to do something for this year in December. Maybe a giveaway?

Oh and I also managed to redraw some of my best selling cards on Etsy. I have been wanting to do so for a while now and its great to be able to check that off the list. I’ll try my best to add more card designs before the year end too.

On another note, Instagram has been rather hard to navigate or should I say even harder? I have never gotten around to feeling ok with using it from the start. And now with all these new updates to it, I feel like it’s even more but I keep telling myself, it’s just Instagram. I shouldn’t be stressing so much over it. Just like this blog. II haven’t been stressing about it and it’s been nice to on and off write something here.

till next time, m

About

Hi, Thanks for stopping by.

I am Munirah. I have been trying a lot of things for as long as I can remember. One of those things that I tried/still trying to do is draw more. I started SatsumaOrange in 2014, so that I could do that and also try out something new. So if you hang around here, you’ll probably see the word “try” a lot. :)
