So back in mid-May, I sent Marika a coloring book VW bug that I put together for her, and I think on Instagram, she “hinted” that she would like a VW van to go with it. I had a van in one of my coloring books.
But it didn’t seem quirky enough.
So I looked online, and found the same van, but this one had a girl driving! Plus luggage and surfboard!
So I printed one for a pattern, and printed another on card stock for the final version. While I was coloring it, I painted the canvas that would be the backdrop.
And then she was done!
This all happened before the migraine, but Marika just received it today, so I waited to post.
Back of canvas.
When I have a migraine, I can’t function at all. I spend it in bed, in the total dark, wondering, when, it, will, ever, ever, ever, just, freaking, stop.
I’m so sorry you suffer with them.
Pretty much the same here. And I put restrictions on what food can be brought into, cooked, or eaten in our home because scents drive me crazy. When I eat during a migraine, I seek what I call nearly-scentless foods. I swear if anyone drives by the house with Whataburger takeout in their car, I have to bury myself under pillows. Cool, soft pillows. In a dark, quiet room.
I never actually considered smells. I’m more in a world of Picasso paintings or the moth to the flame while my head is stuck to the gong of the tower bells. The hard part is it actually takes effort for me to sleep in. So, those pain pills help calm it down too.
