these next few days will be:

handing in my portfolio & finishing school

celebrating with a bottle of red wine

packing up my life in boxes

saying goodbye to my little nest

& lots of mixed emotions...

happy weekend!

these past few months i've noticed

that something inside of me is changing.

i'm beginning to find myself...

matt and i's first video.

life has been busy,

& my body is starting to feel tired.

i have to remind myself to

take things one day at a time...

new things.

little thrifted treasures.

woke up to a new layer

of snow on the ground.

today would be one of those

lazy sundays

if only i didn't have

so many things to do...

dreary day.

did absolutely nothing.

matt.

a few photos from

class yesterday.

self.

words have left me

these days.

i barely even have time

to think.

do things that make you smile.

exhausted.

beautiful little cross-stitched heart from abbey.

i received it in the mail on valentine's day, how perfect!

kisses, grey skies, quilts, love notes, flowers, howling winds,

laughing, singing, warm tea & cookies, neil young, candlelight...

another one of those quiet nights.

what i wore today:

thrifted button-up shirt

& my mom's old belt

spending some time in the studio today, then coming home

& treating myself to an avocado face mask.

images of a friday afternoon.

felt really unproductive today.

woke up late.

decided to spend the day in my pajamas.

started a puzzle.

made peppermint tea & sketched.

& now i am watching the sun set.

rose.

photographed in the studio for a school workshop.

this weekend was:

spending time with my family

treasure hunting at value village

another snow storm

a bruised tailbone

no words today, just smiles

it's been a rough few weeks,

but i am finally starting to feel like myself again.

there's a big snow storm coming this way.

here's hoping that class will be cancelled tomorrow so i can

spend the day reading in bed & drinking tea

what i wore today.

thrifted skirt worn as a dress

listen.

look.

read.

new things.

nail polish from american apparel

earrings from value village

& a purse from gap

lunch today:

fried potatoes and sausages

with beet coleslaw

a few precious things found in my bedroom.

had a lovely day today celebrating matt's birthday.

we shared delicious sandwiches for lunch,

cuddled in bed all afternoon,

then went out for supper at a quiet restaurant.

it was a nice & simple day.

just the way we like it.
