sundaze-sweet-sunday...

November has been beautiful so far.
I have been exploring dirt roads
and spent some time on trails
and windy beaches and
even a little bit of stargazing…

And…
I have finally finished a new
watercolor painting!!
Inktober was really a good thing
for me this year.
If you followed along with me on
that geek girl journey,
you may recognize where the
idea for this painting came from…
:)

If you are interested,
it is listed over here.
It’s also on my Facebook photography page.
I am hoping to get back to
some productive hours
at the little blue desk
and my brain is buzzing with ideas…
I can’t promise they are all
good ideas
but ideas nonetheless.
Heehee.

Happy, happy Sunday…enjoy it! :)

and....it's done!

i liked the idea of doing a "doodle a day" challenge
but was finding it hard to follow the prompts
so i thought that, for december, i would do my own.

i used my "word" for the year, ADVENTURE, as a bit of a loose "theme"
and built on it from there.
every day, i added a little something to the page.
some days it was a big thing
but most of the time,
it was a tiny star or a flower...
and i colored it in a bit as i went
and finished coloring it in today.

i really enjoyed doing this...
i am going to do it again for february
with a heart/valentine/red/pink theme...
stay tuned!

i usually have a lot to say...

about april being national poetry month
but, for some reason, this year
i have barely said boo about it...
i had good intentions
but they seem to have gone as
astray
as my firmly set goal to
be healthy and gain energy
(and really, who am i kidding...
we all know that's code for
"lose weight and fit into my clothes")...

so there is a week of
poetry month
left.

it's not too late.

i am reading
pablo neruda
and thinking about
shades of blue
and how language
can carry you
to a different place,
to a different
frame of mind...

tuesday truths...

1. winter always drags me down
   but spring always manages to pick me back up again.
   just a little milder and brighter out
   and already i am feeling less "nest-y"
   (you know...where you just want pajamas & books & candles & movies & blanket forts)
   and more excited...this is when
   i start to get all full of plans and ideas and lists and intentions and goals and changes...
   my pinterest boards get a lot of use at this time of year.
   and my husband gets a lot of links sent to him, heehee.
    
2. keeping with the new ideas and change theme,
   i am trying to decide whether or not
   i should just take the plunge and move all of my "stuff"
   into one area in our living room...
   i have a corner in the living room where i edit
   and lately i have also set up a bit of a makeshift desk
   and bookcase...
   i have a great space upstairs but I NEVER USE IT.
   i hate being away from everyone.
   our living room is the hub of the house really...
   we are usually all in the living room working on different things
   (or, face it, watching tv or falling asleep on the couch)
   but i love that we are always within earshot of each other...
   but the downside to moving all my "stuff" downstairs
   is that i worry that a) people will think i am crazy and b) visiting kids
   may want to touch or (i shudder to think) PLAY with my stuff...
   
   is that not the saddest thing you have EVER heard.
    
3. i don't really have anything to say for point number 3 but
   i just didn't want to end on that note...
   you know, the note where i seem like i might not like kids...
   cause i do, i really do...i just get weird about my...stuff...
   and most of it is toys...so...you know...anyway...by trying not
   to end on that note, i am now ending on it again
   and will have to add something random for point number 4.
    
4. i still love what does the fox say.
