This & That

My birthday is this coming week and I'd almost forgotten. Thank you bestie for reminding me. The thing is I love my birthday. I usually celebrate the entire month of February. The last couple of years I haven't felt much like celebrating. I have no idea way, I'm just unmoved by it. 

I have always dreamed of getting away on a retreat(silent) but never made it happen until now. My birthday present to myself is to get away for a couple of days not far from Dallas with one of my dearest friends. I don't have an agenda other than to be mindful. I get so caught up in achieving daily goals that I'm not always present. 

I have no idea how this will go but I'm happy to try something new and push my comfort zone. I'll let you know how it turns out.

What an eventful weekend for me. Friday evening and Saturday were filled with errands to one art supply store after another. No, there is nothing wrong with that but I was going to support a friend on her new art endeavor. I was just going along for the ride. Let me tell you, I wasn't even looking at the holiday supplies which were 80% off(you know me, I'm a sucker for Christmas) well at least at the first store. After that well I went crazy. I still haven't found room for all the new stuff in the studio. But I will.

I started working on my Mother's Day origami star heart class along with figuring out what to do with all the spare glass from said friend above. No clue yet! I had an idea for the clear round ornaments I picked up. I usually teach a pour paint class with them, which I'll be doing July 6th but I have something else in mind and can't wait to see if it will work. 

Besides all the art I've been working on I cooked for over 5 hours on Sunday. It's another one of my creative outlets. I made some yummy food that will tide us over for a bit and I made it from all the food i had on hand. Crazy, I know. 

So that was my weekend. How was yours?
