Beautiful creation, I thought you did an amazing job with these supplies, although at first i couldn't see how they were going to work together so well. I know how it is to be in the difficult position of caring for a parent, it's so hard and sometimes you have to remember to take care of your own physical and mental health too. I'm very happy to find your channel, new subbie here :)
My heart goes out to you. I am responsible for my mother’s care and health. She’s 94 now and in ways similar circumstances to what you describe with your mother. I had to get a power of attorney (here in US) so I could have the care I know she needs done, despite her lack of cooperation. It is very difficult. Take care of yourself, it can be very depressing. Hugs.
Thank you so much for your comment. I whould have to take simmilar steps here in germany. It is just not so nice in what it can do to your mental health 😪
I'm so sorry you have to go through this situation with your mom. Depression can be such an awful illness to battle (I've been living with it for a while now). You got this, friend. If you ever need anyone, I'm here, you can reach out. Hugs ❤
🤣 🤣 🤣 An Art apron sounds good. I did think about sewing one quite often already but i forget about it all the time. And that is why i love subscrbtion boxes, now that you have the ink you can try it as much as you like. I hope you will have fun with it.
Hi, i think a lot of us can relate to the issues you describe. My dad had a few strokes and my mum looked after him for 7 years until he died. It took a real toll on her. With me living abroad i find it really difficult - the guilt is horrific. All she wants is for us to move back and be near her and i can't do that. I think watching parents age and get towards the end of their lives is one of the hardest things emotionally to go through for all manner of reasons. I really feel for you. I hope you have a sibling to help share the load xx
Thank you so much for your kind words. I do think as children we should be there for our parents when they are getting older, but i do think it is importent not to put your own life behind. Especially when you life in another country. I understand that your mom felt alone with the task, but i admit, that is asked to much of you. Heck my brother didn't even visit our mother in Hospital after her stroke, and he only lived 1 1/2 hours away. I admit i think that is the other end of the extrem, but you should always be allowed to keep your own life in mind, something i did not really do the last few years, to be honest.
Oh, I don't mean I didn't go over and support as much as I could. It was very hard during covid but the thing is it's just never enough. My mum really wants us to move in with her. Or at the furthest, be a couple of streets away. She herself never wanted to be far away from her mum, & that is what she wants for herself. Someone who can be there at any time, every day. But with kids in school, and a husband whose job barely exists in our country, it's kind of impossible. But the guilt! It's crippling! And constantly hearing "and X's daughter manages to live just round the corner...."
@@fionagray9319 oh, i did not assum that you where not doing everything in your power to help. After all they are still your parents. My intend was to show you support. I think you did exactly the right thing and i think it is just sad that your mom is not able to appreciat the Support you are willing to give. A mother should never give her children the feeling of not being enough. Ofcourse it is not easy for her either but playing the guilt card is just unfair.
@@silencreativa8199 no, don't worry, I just felt I hadn't been clear! I think regardless of what you do there's always the same feelings to contend with. Same deal for new mothers - you'll be made to feel bad for going back to work, but you'll also be heavily judged by other mothers if you stay home with your kids! All I mean is, in these impossible situations unless you are completely emotionless, you can't escape all these feelings and you just need to take that into account and be kind to yourself! Easier said than done though, eh? 🙃
She is beautiful! I hope everything works out on the home front and you are back to creating your lovely dolls. Take care.❤
I really liked the results, the background works really well x

🙄Forgot to say, I love my glass dip pen. And I like your drawing, enjoy your videos. Art can be a great escape.

That is so sweet of you. Thank you so much 😊
I just subscribed with last months kit and I’m so glad I did! Especially this one. Though liquid ink scares me. I need an art apron

Beautiful masterpiece, have you seen Hextian's Birth of Ariel fountain? Why not try sketching and painting, see you next time.
I have to admit i have not seen it 😅

Also, I agree - this has been the best upcrate box in ages!
