Electric Sheep Crafts

Electric Sheep Crafts is a brand created in February 2023 for showing to the world my work and selling it, but it represents more than just money for me.

Sadly since I made it, it is still an empty page.

Basically is an Instagram page, click here to see it and a logo that I created and executed myself.

The name was inspired in the book of Philip K. Dick “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, because the Sheep in the book represents the necessity of the character to be seen and feel like part of society. The book is a great reflection on what makes us part of society and why we crave so much from the other’s acceptance.

So, why? For me, this little space, this little brand, represents a way to be part of society too- a way to make me feel better and useful. To share my work and make myself proud that someone wanted to have a little piece of my energy in their house. The Electric Sheep gives Electric Yarn, and this chaotic/electric energy represents my anxiety. The act of making handmade crafts helps with my mental health, an example of mindfulness with crafts.

Furthermore, the acronym of the brand is ESC, and it represents another thing in my life, the Software Engineer that I want to turn into. ESC is a keyboard key, that represents, escape, exit, or stop and I want to stop the feeling that I don’t belong anywhere. My ESC helps to go out of the chaotic state of mind as I said before.

If I could make my handmade crafts making someone happy and my mind less chaotic is what wish for this brand. But I still need to get better with the social anxiety that entrepreneurship brings, and trying to slowly show my work.

Being a Turtle, my learning process

Image
This image isn't made by me but it means a lot to me. This week I talked with a Psychologist in English, and it was tough to speak about my feelings in another language. But in the end, it was good. This picture is a reminder of this day and the phrase on it and the animal represented on it means a lot at this time in my life, and I will explain why. Well, like I said in another post, I am 30 years old now, I am not so young and I started to learn a new course again. I never finished one course before, so I really want to finish this new opportunity. Because of this feeling of not wanting to give up again, I asked for help.  I am saying this because I am feeling a little turtle during this journey. I am a really slow learner, in the past I felt guilty because I was not like the others and I wanted to be like the others and I blamed myself for not being. At this time I am trying to understand that I am slower than the others and it is not a problem, and it is more important to embra

My Hogwarts house changed!

Image
Avatar from Wizarding World When Pottermore started I did my quiz there, and the sorting hat put me in Gryffindor House, I accepted that and for years I believed that I was Gryffindor. But, a big BUT here, everyone that I have said that I was Gryffindor told me that I look like more as Hufflepuff. And I asked myself about the possibility of being it.  Because of this, I tried the official quiz again yesterday, now is not Pottermore anymore is Wizarding World. And to my surprise, the sorting hat put me in Ravenclaw House this time!  Was really surprising and I swear that didn't try to manipulate the answers.  Just to be sure, I did another quiz, bigger than the official website test, I did it on Reddit which can be found on this link   and the result was AGAIN RAVENCLAW!  In the future, maybe at this time of year in the next year, I will redo the test, to be sure what house will be.  This video  helped me to understand better what a Ravenclaw student represents. I didn't think

Project Playing Guitar

Image
  When I was 12 years old, I asked for a Guitar as a birthday present, and my parents gave it to me. Then I started to do classes for 1 or 2 years, and when I was 14 years old I stopped the classes and never returned to do it again.  Why I am saying this? To be clear, I stopped the classes because I was embarrassed to be heard by someone, I always had the sensation that I needed something perfect to deliver, if it was not perfect I didn't want anybody to hear it.  I was obviously frustrated because my guitar didn't sound harmonious, now I know that it will sound horrible at first because I am learning! But just because I know that I am learning it doesn't make it easier to accept that fact and it keeps being frustrating. Nowadays I still being embarrassed to be heard and to make some mistakes. So, in the past, this sensation limited me, because I didn't practice at home to my guitar sound better! I never felt that I learned it. For changed my belief that I don't kno
