MOVED!
I have moved my blog to the very beige spaceholder that is currently my website. The blog will be updated regularly, and the shiny new look is coming soon!
check out the new sketchbook.

the weekend in review
It was a simple weekend. Husband was under the weather. I began the seedlings for my garden-the bright weekend made it easy to think of spring. Valentine's Day was celebrated gently; flowers from my love and an amazing dinner at Sorrento's.

Thinking summer thoughts
I saw this photo:
here and I was in love. I am dreaming of warmer days (even though the "snowpocalypse" was a total dud here!) and I may need to build these along our pool in the future, more places for sunny-afternoon naps! Also, there may come a time when weeding that flower garden next to the pool becomes more than I can stand-and this is a great alternative!

Yoga
I had fallen of the wagon for a bit after a parade of illnesses, but I'm back on now! I really love the yoga studio I attend, not just because I can walk there from my house (when it's not freezing out!) but because it's small, intimate, and very focused.
Metrowest Yoga is one big room, only one class at a time. The focus is the mind-body-spirit connection, but not in a preachy everyone-should-become-an-earthy-crunchy-zen-vegan kind of way. The way they offer their spiritual wisdoms are unobtrusive, just instructors trying to help us each see a new way of being or thinking. They feel like gentle guidence, gifts, not imposed expectations.
I love that it feels like a place of intention and healing and wellness. It's not like a yoga class at a gym-no spandex bunnies and thumping workout music pounding in the room next door. Everyone enters and becomes hushed and reverent, smiling and speaking softly. For me it slows down time and reminds me to just BE.
Also, now that it is almost Wednesday (I go to class on Sunday mornings) the stiffness is wearing out of my muscles and I can focus on the joy it brings me and not just the physical butt-kicking! Anyone who thinks yoga is not a serious workout has obviously never been to the classes I go to!

the weekend in review
Learning to take more photos of the weekend, but this weekend was pretty lowkey, so not much to document. The superbowl was awesome, it was great to see the Saints pull it off. I must admit, I was doubting their ability. But the best part-as always-was watching it with great friends and awesome food!
A significant portion of the weekend was spent in the studio drinking lots of tea and pouring over ideas for my new website and beginning my trial of squarespace. There was a lot of drawing and being inspired by the art in my kids-book collection. It was a sunny weekend but cold, we were restful and found lots of fur on the bed and the loveseat (where the best sunposts in the house are!)when we came back from various erands. Also, a quick outting ended with me finding a great pair of platform sandals-my brain can't help but think toward spring!

TGIF
I am at work, loving our new design lounge, and Kitty is here in the office with me. She is guarding the creative zone from bad clients who want us to make ugly logos and crappy websites. She growls at anyone who likes Comic Sans or Hobo.

the weekend in review
The weekend was quiet as I am still recovering from the ills and trying to keep the husband from catching anything. Despite the extreme cold (it was only 17ยบ!) I spied my daffodils trying to peek up trough the dirt, but I piled more mulch up on them and told them to sleep for at least another month. There was lotion and perfume-making, great BBQ here, dog sitting (the adorable golden boy is named Bailey) and much snuggling with our dog, Kitty. I'm looking forward to a week of freelance and some quality time with my Burpee catalog doing some garden-planning.
