Top 5

Here's my top 5 things I'm excited about right now.

1. I got to take a painting class with my friends this past weekend, it was really great to hang out and do something different together, and it's always fun to see how everyone's painting will turn out. Everyone has their own style :)

2. I get pretty obsessed when I discover new music or a new song I really like. I am really into the band Ruth right now. They are upbeat, and experiment with genres, and their lyrics are endearing :)
AND I really love their covers EP. I love when people put their own spin on pop songs, with the exception of Christmas songs lol. No one should redo Wham's "Last Christmas" because the original is perfect but I digress ;)

3. Springtime and new plants. I have been looking at these succulents for a while and I finally got some at Home Depot the other day :) And I got some new seeds too! I love spreading seeds it's always a wonderful surprise to see what will come up.

Neon green = happiness

4.  Yes, I love children's movies, and this is the best trailer I have seen in a long time. Is it summer yet?

5. I also love my British comedies and I've become pretty avid fan of Doc Martin. He was a successful surgeon in London who becomes a GP in a sleepy little seaside town, where everybody and I mean, everybody knows each others' business. It didn't come on PBS this weekend and I was going through withdrawal, but Hulu saves the day! They have a ton of episodes and I got to catch up on the 1st season which I totally missed. I will admit at first I wasn't that impressed but it kinda sneaks up on you and once you get to know the characters it's completely hilarious :)

Hope you have a wonderful week, I'm going to try to be more disciplined this week and make more time for projects that have been swirling around in my head.

Fall Productivity

Fall is my favorite time of year. The welcome change in weather, wearing sweaters and scarfs and the colors of the changing leaves. And of course baking pumpkin everything, decorating and Halloween fun. I feel like October always kind of sneaks up on me and I never take the time do to the things I want and really celebrate and savor the season. But this year I am going to be more productive and really enjoy fall. It has been so hot this summer, and humid the past week. I can't wait until the air is crisp and the pumpkins show up at the farmer's market. I have a lot of fall related sketches maybe more of them will get done soon.

This is an idea of have had for about 6 months. This is my first version......I like parts of it but overall not what I wanted.

 I started playing with the idea again a month or so ago and I really like this version much better.

Balloons in love

Hair style inspired by Kate

Oh to be a balloon without a care in the world...... floating in the sky....

I made banana bread for the first time in forever today ( its the Babycakes recipe) so fluffy and delicious!

 everything's better with chocolate

I finally found some Orla Kiely soap at target......pear scent.......look how cute it looks with my coordinating dish towels that I refuse to use because they are so pretty lol. The towels are also a Target collab from a couple years ago.....she did other cute housewares too

I love her prints

Also my succulent garden is growing, I got them repotted and watered now they are so happy :)

 

 

What are your plans for Fall?
