Lazy, lazy Sunday. Watching the flowers do their thing, putting lots of spinach in my smoothies, and doing a little hand beading.

the warmth.

It's amazing what a little warmth, a little light, can do for your mind-set. Nothing else around here has changed...still struggling with a lot of tightness/soreness in my neck, still curbing Hayden's weird six-year-old tantrums and attitude, still trying to figure out how to run an entire house from top to bottom for the first time in my life.

But how great is it to do your work all day and then step outside to that skin-tingling warmth? It changes everything.

Today I will take the watercolor's out to the patio. I will eat my grapefruit and be bothered by bee's. Hopefully a sweaty run later.

Have a wonderful Wednesday. <3

the dye-vat.

There a few things I love more than dyeing fabric. You never truly know what gloriousness you'll end up with.

today.

Woke up and started painting.

Drank a green smoothie with banana, spinach, mango, brewer's yeast, and ginger.

Listened to a beautiful voice.

Made banana, apple, carrot muffins. Devoured three.

Threw a grapefruit into the mix to make up for that last muffin. (Shhh...)

Put up grapefruit vinegar with said grapefruit's peel.

Finished this little abstraction.

Drinking so much coffee.

Not pictured: four loads of laundry lying around, small child running around, showing off his rear for some reason, copious amounts of aged cheddar, sun-filled flurries, alternating between six or seven different novels.

What are you doing today?

a new dress.

I can't stop making dresses. It's pretty funny because I won't be able to wear this summery concoction for at least another three or four months.
