No time for much today, headed to IKEA to return a bunch of stuff with my parents—on a tight timeline. But still time for a tiny doodle! Because doodling makes everything better. ?

Doodle meeting. Or doodle parade. Or doodle cocktail party. Or doodle ?

Looks like they’re having fun, whatever it is. ?

Flying critters showed up in my morning doodle today! It’s been awhile since critters have appeared in my doodles. I must say it made me happy. I love it when my doodles surprise and delight me. ?

Teeny tiny morning doodle. The pull to just get going already is SO STRONG, but I know I need a little doodle magic to keep me sane and help me face the day.

Especially with all the construction noise!

And sure enough, it’s amazing how much calmer and happier I feel after even just a few minutes of doodling.

That is the power of #doodlemagic! ?

Getting a little morning doodling in before packing up the downstairs for tomorrow’s bamboo flooring installation.
Yes, finally! I just did some mental calculations and realized we’ve been living in this state of home renovation limbo for SIX MONTHS!
Oven range in the dining room, dishwasher in the back yard, plywood subfloor under our feet in the kitchen, for SIX MONTHS!

Time flies when you’re having fun, eh? ?

Chaos increases this week as all our downstairs stuff goes into boxes, and the dog-poop-stained carpet (finally) gets torn out.

Then the bamboo goes in and by next week order will gradually be restored!

I cannot wait!

Meanwhile, art helps me retain my sanity. ?
