I just want to create.

I'm working on a painting tonight and my inspiration consists of:

where the wild things are

these cutesie aspects of nature


and my bestie (:

I have a feeling it's not going to turn out how I first planned, but I'm ok with that. I'll post pictures of it once I've given it to the intended recipient!

FALL in love

Hi loves!

I don't know about you, but I am absolutely thrilled that the fall weather has arrived. I have been drinking more tea lately and exploring different flavors. My newest favorite is Vanilla Hazelnut. I can't even explain to you how the two flavors balance each other out. Pure bliss!


BUT the more serious things get between tea and I, the more I realize I'm going to have to move on to loose leaf. I want to get a few of these adorable infusers which are heart shaped.


Soooooo cute!! Ahh!

So I pretty much spent my morning drinking tea and reading Native American legends (: It was quite lovely. Hopefully I'll finish a painting sometime this week and post some pics.

bye for now!

feathers, music, and dance parties

Much to my surprise, I am already posting an entry. Looks like I'm starting off on the right foot. As some of you may know, I travel to Kentucky about twice a year to visit family. While I was there this summer, I used some of my laid back days to start creating feather earrings. Here are my first pair!


On another note, I have been entirely obsessed with music lately. But then again, when am I not? The other day I was browsing cds and found Death Cab's first album. I was skeptical at first, but I have found that they have had their stuff together from the very beginning! My first Death Cab album was Transatlanticism, which I got about 5 years ago, and it holds a very dear spot in my heart. It was one of the first "real cds" I purchased. Meaning it wasn't anything related to Disney. I'm eternally grateful that my eyes were opened to such fantastic music in jr. high. Who knows what I'd be listening to otherwise. I have been playing "something about airplanes" almost nonstop in my car.


Easily enough, music leads into the topic of dancing. And along with my friends Lizz and Ryan, I had a dance party on Saturday night after going to the Eagle Rock Music Festival with a group of people. We danced on the counter and I must say that it was quite liberating. Although we aren't actually dancing in this picture (thankfully!), here is a little sample for you:


That's all I've got for you for now, dearies. Also, if you have a blog of your own, post a comment to let me know about it!

loves!

My first (and hopefully not last!) post

Hi everyone! I've realized lately that I have tons of creativity that wants to be released, but I hardly ever use it to its full potential! So, clearly I am the "Queen of Good Intentions". And now you know how I chose the title for my brand new blog without having to ask. I'm hoping that having this blog will keep me accountable to actually finish the crafty projects that I begin. What a concept! So, check back to see what I will be working on (and hopefully what I finish).


(:
