Reading: Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit.  It's taking me awhile to get through this because it has to be read out loud.  I don't know why; it just does.  I like to read it just before I sit down to write.  It gets me in the mood.
 
Listening to: Elton John's Tiny Dancer (are you?)

Stalking: WanderLost, A Well Traveled Woman.  I think I'm in love with this woman.

Watching: Almost Famous.  I'm not going to admit how many times I've watched this movie.

Working on: Three new illustrations & a custom order.

Hosting: An illustration giveaway - go enter now!

Wishing for: Kingsolver's Poisonwood Bible; patterned socks; art supplies (running low), especially watercolor cakes; soft gray towels (after a year of air-drying, our current towels feel like stucco walls); another pair of The Perfect Jeans (since my last pair are now disintegrating shorts, getting shorter by the minute); Almost Famous soundtrack; this Angie Maxie Dress (I love it; it's so me); boxes of tea; a cat.

Laughing over: My most expensive vacations have been to my home-town for holiday, since I'm coming all the way from Europe.

 

And, because it seems to be a Sunday morning tradition 

(all of a sudden)

a few inspiring things:

j u s t  g o

Going back to a simpler life based on living by sufficiency rather than excess is not a step backward. Rather, returning to a simpler way allows us to regain our dignity, puts us in touch with the land, and makes us value human contact again.  - Yvon Chouinard

{ impromptu dinner party, anyone? }

"Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man"

the three greatest words ever:

damn, we're lost.  

-LYLA&BLU

lets build a fort and hide from the world

-unknown-

Someday, when we're millionaires

(Tim likes to say this as if it will actually happen):

I'm going to have this rooftop garden.

I've wasted far too much time on here this morning;

time to paint.
