"papa, this is MY art!"

today we learned to put the paintbrush in water and stir it around for a second, then to dab the paintbrush on a towel before picking the next color. he likes telling me each step as if he is the one teaching me how to paint. he takes instruction really well, and is SO CREATIVE! i could tell he must like painting in day care. he lit up when i took out our kids art supply box.

i must say, i love the smell of tempera paint. It instantly brings me back to kindergarten art classes when i used to sink my hands into the paint and squish it all over the paper.

My 92 year old nanny just gave me 32 dollars and 50 cents in change.. should i buy gass with it? or should i get something that lasts and makes me happy since it must have taken so much effort to save all that change? hm. ill put in my travel savings.

Josh and i are ajusting to a new schedule with different jobs and not as much time to see each other as we used to. we have sooo much to talk about at the end of the day now. and we are always really excited to see eachother. ( not that we werent before) so not much has really changed! we just don't work together anymore.

i am starting a new line of bag making.. which is all packed in my head right now and i cant wait to poop it all out and start an etsy account. Hopefully its everything im thinking it will be. i got new paints that are perfect and washable on fabrick... and im starting to make my own patterns. wish me luck! july is really slow at work everyone is saying, so i will have a lot of time on my hands to do this!

The cutest dog ever visited with some friends for the weekend. I miss having a dog soooo much!

anger.

I am stuck in mud today. actually, for the past week I have been. I am surrounded by clutter right now which always stresses me out, but it takes me forever for me to do anything about it. i cant create anything with clutter everywhere. I really cant even move away from this computer! im such a zombie. maybe a good yoga class or the gym will wake me up and get me un-stuck.
