No computer:(

My computer's hard drive crashed...ugh! Such a bummer because i've been looking forward to continuing working on some stuff in the studio. I'm going to try to make the most of it though and attempt to work on things un-computer related. I guess that's it for now. Happy valentine's day in advance.

2012 lunar festival

a fun event last week at my son's school. above is an image of the balloon lanterns being lit at the end of the evening. (how can you not love that heart lantern??)

this week is spotty in regards to studio work. it's going to be a busy week for me at my son's school with 2 field trips, a school celebration, plus another art docent presentation at the end of the week. i am getting used to the ebb and flow of life around here...and it's starting to grow on me.

little notebooks

i keep having to remind myself that productivity for me is not the goal. ironically, when i do this my creativity seems to flow better and i'm able to think much more clearly. it can be frustrating at times, but generally speaking slow and steady seems to work for me.

 

 

me: do you want a grilled cheese sandwich?
little guy: no. i want a boy cheese sandwich.

back at it

hi. i am back.

i'm always a little sad when a trip comes to an end, but it always feels good to come home.

i am more than ready to get back into the studio b/c it's been a while and my head has been stirring with ideas. how to pull everything together for my little shop collection so it's not hodge-podge has been a challenge b/c editing is so crucial to me. it will definitely be a small collection of work to start.

i've also been thinking about putting up an online website of my photography. it'll involve a lot of editing, plus i don't have a good scanner, so i'll need to figure it out as i go. it is always such a tedious and long process for me to do this, but down the road i know i will need it.

alrighty...crossing my fingers for a productive week.

 

 

Two photos for you

utah bound

gosh, i don't think i've ever done this before...but i've got a humungo list of things to do over here before we leave for our trip so i'm posting this image here again...seems appropriate enough.

this week we are heading to utah. we're in the midst of getting all of our gear together, plus we recently secured our advanced tickets.

what i thought was going to be a lighter week for me all of a sudden turned into a super busy week. with a mix of meetings and stuff for son's school, my own work load (which so far has been really going great!), last minute dinner invite for husband's work,..etc..etc..i really need to be efficient with my time this week. i am so glad i at least did my grocery shopping and roasted a chicken so i don't have to think too much about what to eat this week!

okay...gotta run.

 

 

 

 

busy busy

still here...just busy. still pluggin' away working on my images...studio is great in terms of space, though it is COLD!!! in there. today i'm going to visit my son's class as an art docent. the subject matter of the art they will be looking at is horses...and the follow up activity will be wax (crayon) resist. fun, right? magic before their eyes!! i think they will love it.

after today, i get to spend the weekend getting ready for our trip. where?? stay tuned..will be back soon to share.

have a great weekend!

 

 

yesterday was a bad printing day. today is turning out to be a good one. did i just jinx it??

blueberry pancakes for lunch

soon, but not quite yet ready to jump back into regular posting because i am thoroughly enjoying our lazy mornings, our "ka---razy" afternoon lunches, and our later than usual bedtimes...with no worries of oversleeping:)

hope you had a wonderful christmas...looking forward to seeing you in the new year!

xo,
