Oops. It's been a while for a my week post. As you may have noticed, I tend to be somewhat inconsistent- I'm working on it. This week had its major ups and downs, but some of the ups have been a breakthrough in sunshine and warm weather. It was glorious yesterday and I'm sure will be even more glorious today. Speaking of glorious, my first object happens to be something a little more ephemeral.

1. This morning light

(for being so incredibly breathtaking and beautiful.)

2. These pretty pink peonies

(for actually being from last week, but their dried presence is just as lovely.)

3.  This sketchbook

(for slowly filling itself with the imaginations in my head.)

4. These simple weavings

(for fulfilling my pioneering daydreams.)

5. These little leaves

(for giving me the inspiration I needed for a new project...more to come!)

things to take you to the weekend:

• i think i know what i'm making on the weekend
• sometimes you just don't have the words
• a biased mother's day gift guide
• cut. it. out
• please, someone get as hooked as i was
• so many good things 

i had meant to take pictures this week of the things that i am grateful for. but it turned more into a week of me appreciating the (very early) signs of spring. i couldn't help but notice the beauty blossoming all over the place as i went about my days. so here are 3 different flowers that made my week.

1. these purple magnolias

 (for surprising me while shopping in seattle.)

2. these gentle tulips

 (for making our living space just that much more liveable.)

3. these bursting cherry blossoms

(for finally making the view outside our front window worth it.)

5 things this week to be grateful for. 

1. this teeny tiny airplant

(for coming from the cutest shop in Deep Cove and looking so very spider-y.)

2. this bowl of shapes

(for only being $1.50.)

3. these dying daffodils

(because even as they dry up, i'm reminded of the loving husband who gave them to me.)

4. this blue and white treasure

(for finally lighting my bedside with a light that doesn't blind me.)

5. this imperfect homemade candle

(that often lights my way through baking and for reminding me to stay calm.)
