Hey there! How is everyone?
I was cleaning out old photos on my phone and I have a bunch of art from here saved onto my phone and felt really nostalgic. I really miss talking to everyone! I don't really have anyone I talk to anymore.

I moved to the Saint Louis area in August last year with my sister, which has been a fun adventure; but all my friends are back home. I've been streaming a lot lately, but I don't really have any followers, so I basically just talk to myself for a hour while playing games.

I also haven't been doing much art since I left the site. I still do a lot of crafting, but my creativity sure went down without you all encouraging me. I've been feeling like things just haven't been the same without you all! I hope some people are still around!

@Qiqi Agatha: hey there! I remember seeing you around sometimes! Didn't you always have interesting fonts?

How have you been lately? I hope you're well. ^^

@Qiqi Agatha: I'm mostly doing alright. Last year was pretty tough for me, both of my grandmothers died, which were a first serious losses in my life. I moved to a new state with my sister because she's getting a divorce and wanted a fresh start; but also the 'one that got away' guy that's she's known most of her life lives here... I feel a little like, dont you want some time being single before jumping into a serious relationship? But apparently no..

But the move has been hard. I managed to find a job I really like, but it's been a lot more hours than I originally agreed to, which is a lot more stree than I would like. On the other hand, they want to promote me to manager and I feel like at some point I should actually be a adult and be responsible, but I would rather not..

I don't have any friends here, and my sister used to be my best friend and who I spent all my time with; but now she doesn't seem to have any time for me, even though she dragged me across the country with her.

But it's not all bad! I've been working on starting a streaming channel for some time now. I manage to do a lot of actual streaming time even though I have depression, so I'm really proud of myself for trying something so hard! I only have a few followers and average like 1/4th of a person each stream, but at least I'm not giving up!

I've been doing some crafting lately, but I haven't really done much art since I left the site. I used to do avatar art fairly regularly.

Anyway, I guess I was looking to chat with people. Hopefully about happy things to cheer me up a little, but also just to have people in my life again. ^^

@Qiqi Agatha: I mentioned crafting in Fuzzy's hangout thread, but neither of you seemed to notice that I posted in there.
I do crochet, latch hook, cross stitch, weaving, sometimes jewelry.

@Qiqi Agatha: My mom and grandma are/were both serious crafters, so I grew up with crafting around me. Cross stitch isn't that hard, it's like easy embroidery. you just make Xs on fabric to form a pattern. It takes a long time but it's pretty easy really. So like, its a heart:

XXXXX
XXXXX
XXXXX

I do little weaves on a baby loom with regular yarn, to make like little tapestries to hang on the wall. I've only done it a few times so far, and I can't seem to keep the tension even... they all get more narrow at the top. >.<

@Qiqi Agatha: I think sewing is a million times harder than anything I do! Hand and machine sewing are both impossible for me. >.<

My fashion lately is oversized tshirt and I've been rolling up the sleeves and I took a day to sew the sleeves rolled up, and it was amazing how frustrating it was. I was like "it's just straight lines, why do I suck??"
