my experience with having adhd

 Gonna get real on this blog!!! This is a bit personal for me but i think i should talk about it. I have a hard time sharing my experiences with others. So this is good practice for me i think. 

I was diagnosed with autism as a kid but my parents didnt tell me till i was like 13 or something. I grew up with adhd , however i never really  understood how it impacted my life, and i still don’t to be honest 💦🥲

I was good at writing as a kid but SUCKED at math (i still do). Now i know my writing is casual on here but i can write pretty well if i want to, but i prefer creative writing over essays and stuff (which they have you do in school anyway)

I actually have a math disability, actually. I envy and admire people who are calm and confident with math. When i start to do math and i can’t figure a problem out, it frustrates me so bad. And sometimes i give up. Because it makes my brain ache. Lol

But some people can sit and do multiple problems and have no issue at all. I just can’t…. But i think it’s different for people who have a reading disability, and are good at math. For me it’s the opposite. I used to read a lot but now i don’t. 

Favorite books.. uh..

I really liked harry potter :-) (pls don’t give me a hard time also i ship harry and ron sometimes they cute) (but i also think hermonine and harry are cute and underrated💕i know they didn’t end up in the end but i ship what i want! Haha. Also i loved dobby and i really loved hagrid he was cool. He reminded me of sus from gravity falls for some unknown reason.. they have similar vibes, idk). I loved coraline and other books by neil gaiman (i tried to read good omens but i was too young to understand all of it and it was so long! So i couldnt finish, but maybe i can someday!) also books i liked.. wind in the willows.. anything with anthropomorphic animals (yes, furries, i don’t care, i like anthros ok , it ain’t a big deal) 

Winnie the pooh. Rabbit? Peter rabbit.. ? Arthur books, but i watched the cartoon more. Arthur, man. I loved him. Him and Francine. Also buster. And muffy. I ship francine and muffy Sometimes lol. 

Gay arthur couples! So cute 🌈💕(i’m so sorry i think i followed the artist but i forgot their username/handle! The person who drew this. It’s super cute tho and i give them credit i am sorry i forgot the artist’s name, pls forgive me thanks..)

Other things about adhd i didn’t realize till i was older

- my hands shake 🙃i hate it so much bc i like sewing, but when i sew if my hand is shaky, it’s hard to control the needle and thread, Hand eye coordination is important in sewing bc you’re working with small things made of fabric. It’s also just a pain when my hands shake bc it makes me feel worried im going to drop something, its awkward..

- my thoughts move in the speed of my brain at 1000%

- even when i sleep, my brain is active, thinking or dreaming

It’s rare for me to have deep, thoughtless sleep (when it rains the sound of rain helps me sleep…)

- i have lucid dreams. Yes i never knew what this was called, but i remember when i was a kid i went to the bookstore and found a goosebumps horror stories book. The cover was a drawing of a kid going to camp, and all the other kids in the line leading up to the entrance had blank faces. Their heads were literally a sphere with no eyes, nose, mouth… so that night when i went home the image was still in my mind when i fell asleep. I had a dream that i was going to school and i could faintly see people with no faces, but my brain was trying to avoid them. In the dream i flopped on a sofa, couch, in the front room of the building, and closed my eyes and i heard footsteps coming in my ear, like as if on cue my brain started imitating the sound of footsteps and it was clear in my mind, and i was scared.  I didn’t want to see what was coming up to me. So i started begging myself.. wake up, wake up, wake up.!!! And i forced myself awake right before i saw what it was. 

That was my first lucid dream and i didn’t know it was called lucid dreaming till much later. 

- This happens so much to me nowadays that it’s basically the plot of my story/comic/animation i’ve written about in here before: Little  Dreamer Kyandi. I wrote some new info about it i’ll upload here soon.  Yea! Lucid dreams are weird and freaky man. But it’s odd, sometimes i kind of  get excited to have them before going to bed, i even kind of want them to happen.. it’s real strange

- and finally.. uh.. stopping, and starting again. Adhd is like my brain is flicking around. I’m also very visual and can see pictures in my brain and it helps me daydream stuff. Sometimes i have whole scenes for stories or even animations just play out in my head.  Adhd is also like I’m on drugs? Or crack or lsd but i’m not.???  Haha.. it’s painful to think about. It fuels my feelings of depression sometimes bc i act weird a lot in public spaces bc of my brain moving so fast.  And no, it’s not fun or trendy, it’s a pain in the ass and i wish i didn’t have  adhd.  Or at least less severe adhd. Like mild adhd. I wouldn’t want to change my entire personality, but adhd is a chore and it makes me take too long on things, get distracted easy, forgot things, focus too much on one thing..

- sometimes i want to feel productive, so  i sit around and think  what i want to do to be super productive in the best way possible that would benefit me the most, instead of ACTUALLY being productive.  I waste my time thinking of what i want to do instead of actually doing something. 

- …and talking to my self.  Awful, horrible habit i need to break somehow. Too many impulsive thoughts get said out loud. 💦

Ok that’s all i can recall about my experience of autism/adhd but if i think of any other things i’ll write it here. Boy. Thanks for sticking with me till the end, if you did. Lol. Sometimes it’s hard to explain in one sentence. 🥲😂

Ok, see ya later!

It’s what? 12AM? I’m so tired ppppppp

Blargh 

ZOOWEEMAMA

🍊🐶🎵

Also i have some fun stuff i might write or add on here tomorrow!!! :D

packing Etsy orders is fun and satisfying! :-)

I am trying my best with my sticker business on Etsy, currently I’m mainly selling stickers and art prints, but I sold some plushies before that I made...in the past...though I hope to make more handmade plushies soon, and list them in the future as well!

(little mouse club on Etsy is my shop...!)  ( link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/littlemouseclub )

Recent orders have been packed 👍 yay! (I am sharing some photos, but I painted over parts like names and addresses for privacy reasons of course)

It’s actually kind of fun to make the package nice, and add some freebies and a friendly note, which is part of the process I guess :-)

 I add around 2 random stickers as freebies with my Etsy orders, because why not :-D it’s a nice thing to do and helps people be more interested in my art, and my Etsy, plus I like adding an extra sticker or two because  it’s like them getting a tiny slice of my life, and art things I like 🎵

See you next time! 🐶 🍓 🧋 🌼 💕

sewing updates!

 Hiya! Here are some basic updates on what I’ve been doing recently if you’re interested? 🐶🍓 :-)

I have new drawings I guess? Also the image above is a recent drawing too (chubby Asuka and Rei! A cute concept, I wanted to try…!)

I started watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and I think it’s my favorite anime after Soul Eater nowadays! If you know me on instagram (usagi_kid is me) I’m a really big Soul Eater nerd and Death the Kid enthusiast. :-D I think my favorite in Neon Genesis (NGE? Is the short name? Haha) is Asuka, definitely Asuka.  She’s so relatable to me, I love fiery redhead characters…❤️ I want her to be happy too… :,)

Um. I also might have a small crush on her. Yes i don’t care if she’s a girl I like both girls and guys and I’m a girl :-) but idk if I like girls or guys more? But sexuality is a confusing thing for me man haha :,)

So I’ve gotten really into sewing again !! that’s why the title of the post is called “sewing updates” but I guess it’s more sewing and  art updates because I like doing both…!

Recent things I’ve made? Yea?

Apple cat!

Still working on a frog sewing project…!

Also I’ve been trying to do stop motion animation a lot more. It’s becoming a high area of interest for me. :-)

Here are the stop motion projects I’m trying to do!

The bunny girl— supposed to be Kyandi but I made a slightly different version of her where she’s a rabbit— She’s pretty able to stand, sit, bend her legs and straighten them well, her arms are not fully sewn on yet but she’s pretty soft and versatile.  Her inner skeleton is made from pretty thick wire so she can move around freely, mostly anyway, with some improvements to be made in the future! 

The other one is an attempt of making Kyandi out of foam and wire instead of fabric and wire, the first one with foam was actually for a class. :-)

Here is a short I made, with her, the one I’m most satisfied with in terms of movement…!

Ok I think that’s all I have time to write about now cause I gotta do errands and eat but here is a small update on my etsy shop!

Here’s where you can find my stuff on etsy!

See ya later! Thanks for reading! 🌈 🦋 ✨ also stay safe and have a good day :-)

Instructions for Jelly’s shirt

 

Material list

• Mildly stretchy / regular cotton fabric (for shirt making)

• Pattern (if you can’t find the pattern on Google Drive, 

  search online “YOSD shirt pattern” and it should come up)

• Velcro (or plastic snaps/buttons) so you can close the shirt

• Embroidery patches (for deco)

• Iron on fabric transfer sheets (in case you 

  want to put a bigger image on the shirt) 

  (you’ll have to print the image on the iron on fabric 

  transfer sheets, not regular paper! You can also use 

  fabric paper meant for the printer, but iron on fabric 

  transfer sheets gives a cleaner result,

  without the stitching lines…)

• Sewing machine or needle and thread for hand sewing

• Pins, thread

• Other notions? (if you forgot anything?)

General sewing Instructions 

1. Print out the pattern from Google Drive (the shirt pattern for 

   YOSD/littlefee) on plain paper (scale as needed)

2. Cut the pattern out, leaving seam allowance

3. Pin the pattern to the fabric and cut out each piece of the pattern

4. Start by sewing the first sleeve to the first side of the shirt (lining up)

5. Repeat by sewing the second sleeve to the second side of the shirt

6. Notice: The front of the shirt is one solid piece. 

   The back of the shirt are two pieces that line up together. 

   (velcro will open and close shirt)

7. Notice: the opening where the neck goes through should 

   line up with the sleeves and each side of the shirt

notes about Capsule Pets!

______________________

capsule pets is an in-progress plushies series I'm making :-) 

different animals/pets will be added, and the similar theme is 

that they have a "capsule" shape on their bellies. it will be made 

from transparent fabric or a transparent object, so you can 

see through the capsule, and inside will be filled 

with all sorts of cute things. ^o^

 

stuff you could put inside a capsule pet:

1. pom poms

2. glitter

3. tiny toys or miniatures

4.  clay charms you've made

5. chunky glitter shapes

etc

the reason why i'm making these is because i was recently inspired by 

Webkinz, and i like the theme of having a story/online counterpart to 

a plushie. the whole "capsule" idea was a little random, though, i think 

i'm just really into cute things like that and i've seen other 

plushies or toys-- especially retro ones-- with that aspect of having 

some sort of filling or transparent shape in their design. 

 

ok, that's all!

 ^3^ 💗 💕

 

here's a drawing of the first one I made: I drew this after making the plushie, 

but the sewing of the plushie isn't finished yet!

 

 drawing:

 

  

plushie (draft):

 

 

(it looks a little messy, so I might redo it or make edits to make 

it look neater. but for a first try, it's pretty decent, i think!)

 

thanks for reading my sewing plans for the future! 

I hope to update this blog with more sewing projects 

as I made them!
