I may have accidentally stumbled onto something today.

Instead of bouncing between tasks, chasing shiny objects, and wondering why I walked into a room, I promised myself I would work from 10:30 to 2:00 using 25-minute work blocks.

And somehow... I actually did it.

Not only did I stay focused, but I also used my 5- and 10-minute breaks to get all the laundry done.

Who even am I?

As someone with ADHD, this level of methodical behavior feels a little suspicious. I have not seen this type of behavior since pre menopause, when my brain was working at optimum levels.
`
If this little experiment works again tomorrow, and the next day, we may be witnessing a rare and fascinating event:

An ADHD woman finding a system that actually works before getting bored of it.

Stay tuned. The research is ongoing. How is your Monday focus coming along?

What’s everyone up to this weekend?

I'm here surrounded by DIY Paint by Debi's Design Diary and IOD - Iron Orchid Designs transfers and a growing collection of "just one more project" projects....

I’m finishing up several small projects for my next YouTube video, yet somehow every time I complete one, I immediately think of two more things I want to try. There are just so many fun things to create with!

What’s on your weekend agenda? Relaxing? Gardening? Thrift shopping? Tackling a project of your own? If you are out and about and local, stop by Artisan Peacock and pick up supplies, or a treat for yourself! I love that the artisans there are all local!

I'd love to hear what you're working on (or avoiding)! 😉

I think there is something really good for the soul about getting together with friends and making things. Even if half the time you’re mostly talking, laughing, snacking, and barely paying attention to the project. (Guilty of all the above!)

Creativity just feels easier and more fun around other people. Who doesn't need more of that in their lives?

When’s the last time you made something with friends? I am definitely prioritizing this for myself this summer. I hope you will, too! Get on my list for local and online workshops, and I will be sure to give you early access to all my fun, creative, and friendship-filled gatherings. I can't wait to make something fun with you!

ADHD is wild because I can work like a machine for weeks… and then one long, relaxing weekend hits, and suddenly my brain has 200 tabs open, one of them playing music, but I can’t find it.

Why does taking time off completely throw off my routine? Today I have stared at my computer, wandered into random projects, checked Marketplace for one second, decided that all the throw pillows in my home must be washed, TODAY, and mentally reorganized my entire house instead of working.

Tomorrow though? Tomorrow, we are returning to regularly scheduled programming. Probably. Maybe. Unless I suddenly decide I need to learn basket weaving or repaint a dresser first. Let me know if this sounds vaguely familiar.....

Can you relate, or is it just me? 😜

There is something magical that happens when women create together.

The laughter, the stories, the “I didn’t think I could do this” moments that turn into “Wait…I actually LOVE how this turned out.”

Creativity isn’t just about making something pretty. It wakes something up inside of us. It reminds us we are still growing, still learning, still capable of making beautiful things at every stage of life.

This summer I’ll be offering both local and online workshops filled with paint, creativity, encouragement, and lots of fun. Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or you’ve been creating for years, there’s a seat for you.

If you want to be the first to hear about upcoming workshops, special projects, and creative gatherings, get on my “first to know” list.

Because life is just better when we create together. Click on the link in the comments to find out more!

Look at this FREE dresser I scored on Marketplace yesterday.

I took a “quick break” from computer work and started browsing Marketplace… because apparently that counts as productivity now and is definitely healthier than doom scrolling. Then THIS popped up. I was convinced it would already be gone, but somehow it was still available.

Five seconds later, I was in my car like I was responding to a furniture emergency. Because FREE furniture like that does not come around every day (although my garage might dispute that...)

The top definitely needs some love and may or may not survive a staining attempt, but the bones are solid, and it still has the original brass casters! That alone made my little junk-loving heart happy.

So now I need opinions… what should I do with it? Dark and moody? Light and Frenchy? Color-drenched? Leave some wood? Would love to hear your opinions!

My Open Letter to Junk 😄

Dear Junk,

I need to talk to you.

I think about you constantly. I scan curbs while driving. I casually peek into dumpsters “just in case.” I have pulled over for you more times than I care to admit.

You always show up when I least expect you. A sad little chair. A broken table. A dresser is missing drawers. And somehow, against all common sense, I look at you and think, “I can save you.”

The problem is… You are taking over my life.

My garage is full. My car barely fits anymore. At this point, my family has stopped asking, “Where did you get that?” and started asking, “Where are you planning to put that?” 😄

And yet… every once in a while, you turn into something beautiful.
A forgotten piece becomes someone’s favorite thing in their home.
And suddenly I remember exactly why I keep bringing you home with me.

So maybe what we need is balance.
A healthier relationship.
Maybe less “every curb in town” and more “selective rescuing.”

But who am I kidding… if you’re sitting on the side of the road looking lonely, there’s still a very good chance I’m pulling over.

Love always,
Karen

P.S. Please stop appearing directly in my line of sight when I’m “just running errands.”

Leave me a comment if you struggle with your relationship with JUNK too!
