March, already?!

  • + Riflemade calendar that just got put up, gotta change it soon.
  • + V-day present from BJ. A much needed clothes hanger. D.I.Y instructions from here.
  • + While cleaning the storage room at work, I found some awesome weaving instructions from way back in the day as well decent stockpile of old yarn.

This weekend I’m looking forward to sleeping in, maybe trying my hand at some weaving, sketching, and helping my mom celebrate her birthday. I wish I could have joined my RISD peeps at the NAEA conference – hope everyone is doing well!

Gray, cool days here. Not complaining.

My kiddos did awesome at contest. Now it’s time for a break- counting down to spring break and NYC!

hi

| February 23, 2012

Whew, things should slow down after this weekend and I’ll share more pictures of what I’ve been up to. Last weekend, we had a ton of family in town for my cousin’s wedding and I miss everyone already. I’m also in the middle of preparing my students for their big contest of the year and trying to finish grading for the marking period – all while trying to stay sane. Teenagers, they truly test your patience. Thank god for my student teacher. She has been a lifesaver.

ode to my bed

| February 9, 2012

Hands down the best purchase of last year. The most comfortable and colorful spot in our place where I like to crash, eat, read, watch shows, carve a linoblock and let the shavings all fall on the sheets. BJ claims that on multiple occasions, he came home and found me passed  with an open bag of pita chips by my side. Bad habits, I know. So tempted to take a day off and sleep!

More film…

Things I got my dude for dressing up: chambray shirt, Hill-side floral tie, and Dude No.1 beard oil despite his inability to grow a beard. All of which I can easily borrow, but I promise I wasn’t thinking about it that when I bought them!

 

the holidays

| February 2, 2012

Finally developed film from the holidays, which already seems like a distant memory.

I had my first student teacher for a week now. I was a little nervous to have someone else in my classroom, but she has been a blessing! I remember those days like it was yesterday. Time really is flying by …

picasso ceramics

| January 27, 2012

Just getting started on the clay unit at school and came across Pablo Picasso’s pottery. Totally inspired by his use of patterns and floored that he created over thousands and thousands of pieces.
