Daddoo Birthday, one and a half hour old alpaca, excessive amounts of food, baby toes, and 3, maybe 4, pairs of training under-pants.  It was a lovely Sunday.

3 days before fall and after summer

An indescribable weekend between everything

The morning started with a trip to the title office in Bowling Green. My car is officially mine now. Now I just have to save enough to sell it and get something else. I am thinking Scion TC (as long as I can find one used and can put a rack on it for kayaks). Then, we picked up this…..

Sam and I have been in need of a whiskey night. I think we have had 1 or 2 since we have been back from Ireland. This is a little fancier than our usual Paddy’s but I am sure we will have just as much fun. After coming home I made plum clafouti. I used a recipe from Orangette. It turned out super amazing.

Now…. before whiskey night, and Seth’s Dad’s Birthday party tomorrow, I have to clean the new ’studio’. Everything from the old Studio is stuffed in a tiny second bedroom that can barely be walked in. The thought of all I need to find space for is daunting. I hope that once I get space to work, this blog will turn more creative and artistic, like it was meant to be in the first place.

In a desperate attempt to make myself start creating again, and to ease the pain of getting out of my creative lull, I forced myself to open a new sketchbook. With a BIC mechanical pencil in hand, I tried not to think.

Children and puffy clouds

Saturday morning was spent at the quarry in Bowling Green with Sam. We were so happy to be in the sun that we didn’t even make it in the water. Also, by the time we felt hot enough to get in, an army of children had accupied most of the water space. These pictures are taken when we first arrived.

Saturday night, Seth and I spent time at his parents house with his brother’s family. Because my family lives farther away, it is great having his so close. They always make me feel comfortable and part of the family.

Today, Sam’s sisters are coming for a vacation with their big sister. Before they leave for Sandusky tomorrow, we are going to the park to take photos. I am hoping to get some reference photos for some start-up art. Soon, I will actually have some creative things to share. Wish me luck.

Oh… here I am

An entire weekend out of the apartment, studio, and windowless box I work in 9 hours a day. Instead, an entire day of kayaking, trail running, blueberry picking, and visiting with family. My spirit and body are thankful.

I need to start remembing what is important to me. The things that get lost while worrying and working and anticipating.
