friday i'm in love...on saturday...

forgive me…
the days have become a bit of a blur…
:)

I started the week with
a schedule and a plan
but today
I feel a little detached,
a little lost on what I should do next…
I know I have lots I can do
but there seems to be nothing
I want to do.

So I thought I would distract myself
with the rabbit hole of the internet
for a little bit
and see if I can find some
inspiration.

Wanna come along?
I promise to keep 6 feet away
(I know what 6 feet is now after my
Christmas light debacle…heehee)

♥ gotta wash your hands anyway…look at this SHEEP SOAP!!

♥ got some spare time and looking for something to learn…

♥ a new meaning for book nook

♥ he can make an action figure out of a rubber duckie!!?

♥ drawing is a coping skill

♥ i so love this…

and stay tuned tomorrow…I have a new framed print to share!

friday i'm in love....or how I am distracting myself...

♥ this song…in every version I can find.

♥ jujubes & diet coke

♥ this podcast. And the whole idea that failure
is something we should strive for…not to fail,
but to put ourselves out there…to push out of that comfort zone…
sure, you might fail…
but…you might just succeed.
This hit home for me…I think I have already been moving
with that mindset
but this kind of reinforced it.

♥ chase & sierra covers

♥ working on some new ideas…expanding past cards…
this is my first framed print…and I am kind of excited about it…
if it doesn’t sell, I’ll keep it for me. :)

friday i'm in love...

this made me think…and then made me cry…just a little tiny bit…

this is true. and. this is me.

i need this

and this…

i am obsessed with this song…

ohhhhhh. this.

i listen to this probably once a day…if this guy EVER comes
close to the maritimes…I will be there.

i want a plant. I will name it fred. and try not to kill it.

did i show you my new lunchbox?? Even if I did…LOOK AT IT AGAIN…
it’s sooooooooo freaking adorable!!

friday i'm in love...the hearts and pirates mix...

everywhere i look
it’s hearts and flowers
and sweet sentiments & valentine wishes…

but for some reason
tonight
my head is full of buccaneers
and bony skeletons,
torn treasure maps,
and bonny anne the girl pirate
sailing on a turbulent sea,
scaring the boys
and whistling for whales
who will float along beside her
and take her on the
next great adventure…
where she will lead mutinies
and rebellions and
make friends with the
jellyfish
and share secrets and bread crumbs
with the seagulls…

yeah…my brain gets away from me sometimes.

currently loving::

♥ it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

♥ i want to feel like this again…

♥ this…

arrrrghhhh….happy heart day, matey…♥♥♥ now walk the plank.

friday i'm in love....the one in which i wax poetic about my broken down house...

there is something about
being home
that just makes me
incredibly happy.

my house is not fancy…hell…
it’s not even finished.
half a string of christmas lights
still hang over the door
and bang against the window
but i like the little flash of bright colors
against the white of the snow outside.

i have water damage on the ceiling
and a makeshift ramp
to get to the leaking
front door…the same front door
you have to slam
to make sure it’s shut.
there’s a pumpkin head
with a top hat that was carved out of
one of our trees years ago
and i can’t bear to move it…
the kitchen faucet sprays like a geyser
and the countertop is broken…
one plug doesn’t work
and i am missing light fixtures
and baseboard
and have a couple holes in the wall…

oh. and i am pretty sure something might be
living
in the attic but i try not to think about that.

yet there is no place else i want to be.

every hole, every crack, every broken bit
holds a memory...a funny story…
a secret no one else knows.

i am home
and the freezing rain is pelting
against the windows,
the cat is sleeping on my computer chair,
the heater ticks and whirs behind me
while i listen to ben howard
and click away at the keyboard
thinking about how
happy i am
to be home.

currently loving:

♥ my newly decluttered little blue desk space
♥ ben howard
♥ lemon, garlic and olive oil…on everything
♥ such a great idea!
♥ getting back to the bullet journal
♥ sunflower seeds
♥ this made me cry…just a little tiny bit
♥ this made me cry just a little bit more

happy freezing rain friday….stay warm. :)
