Friday, we watched Zombieland after missing the showing for September Issue. I cringed, screamed, and jumped throughout the first half. BJ even offered to get up and leave with me, but I wanted to wait until the food came, of course. By then, the gore was not so bad and the movie- pretty enjoyable! Best cameo of all time. Of all time!
I’ve been experimenting with fabric for the boys’ boutonnieres. Not sure how they’ll look in the end, but I like them so far.

Snippets of a few side projects I’m starting to work on. And tonight, we’re eating at Feast! And there’s a cold front in Houston and we got to wear jackets. And there’s a student holiday on Monday so I get to work in a quiet room. And…I love weekends.
Going through old film scans. Bedroom at Hill Street taken with a pinhole camera.
So what do you do after logging so many hours in the art studio for four years? There’s definitely a struggle to continue to create even when the desire is there. I think what we all needed was an assignment. Thank you to everyone who contributed. Hopefully this is only the beginning.

We started a Post-It gallery in the classroom, anticipating Where The Wild Things Are.

Friday afternoon I drove down to Rice to attend a board dinner with BJ at Trevisio. Â Before that, I celebrated the end of the work week with some candy.
Spinach and cheese ravioli. We just heated pre-made ones up and added sauce. Not quite in full cooking mode yet, but trying to get warmed up.

Things are starting to settle down at school. Faces become familar, routines established, relationships forged. It’s a huge sigh of relief.
I haven’t had much time to spend on my art, but it’s nice when I can incorporate my personal projects into class demonstrations. For now all I have are doodles and “figuring it out” work.
My doodles. I had my kids create ink grounds using a straw and then asked them to created drawings from the marks.

Melissa (Hi, MOJO!) sent me a cool link. Wanna participate? I think I’ll give it a shot.
