sunday waterplay

sunday rainy days are meant for

laying in bed late with the boyfriend, listening to pandora's "jazz holiday station",

watching three season's of arrested development, market runs, hot chocolate;

folding warm, "out-of-the-dryer" laundry (while molly lies on top), tidying up the apartment,

 and....

arts and crafts!

i had a grand idea of making homemade holiday cards for friends and family

and spent part of my saturday morning perusing blick

holding myself back from buying everything

anyhoo, i went with watercolor paints, but didn't quite realize how difficult watercolor painting is!

the cards may look ameture, but i can tell you one thing...

i had a lot of fun making them!

and thats all that matters, right?

taylor even made one while channeling rothko

is it silly that i want to pin up our artwork on the fridge?

okay maybe it is...

hope you had a happy weekend!

rainy day love

what a beautiful day today has turned out to be

i've been waiting for today's rain all week

and it was a pleasure waking up to water drops outside our window

oh how i love puddles and their reflections

wet side walks, and water drops on the leaves and flowers

molly is not a fan of the rain, though

she's not into wet paws and the cold

so she was a little bugger when going on a walk this morning

but when she realized all the fresh smells, her attitude quickly changed

i look forward to a beautiful, clear day tomorrow

and another rainy one on sunday!
