:: weekend snapshots ::

 

desserts downtown, matchbook shadow boxes, jewelry making, and a delicious sunday supper to send nick off to los angeles fat and happy for the bar exam.

cannot believe this week has finally come! can't wait to pick him up from the airport friday night - with the bar being a thing of the past.

please send happy thoughts and lots of love to him this week as he's testing away {for three days!} in california!

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ~Pablo Picasso

for the past few weeks now i've been obsessing over watercolor paintings and wanting to try a few on my own. now, i honestly can't remember the last time i played with watercolors.. 3rd grade perhaps? so it's safe to say that i have no fancy techniques or unique brush strokes to add to any sort of creation. today 

i finally bought a watercolor set.. which led to the purchase of more brushes, and watercolor pencils, and pastels, and fancy paper... i really don't know when to stop. 

so after an hour of sketching, mixing, painting and smearing..

 i share with you my final result!

i don't love it.. at all. 

but hey, there's a first time for everything and practice makes perfect, right?

i hope everyone had a lovely weekend.. 

mine was filled with many hours of work and very few hours of play. 

and now, time for monday.
