I'll fly away

I've noticed a trend in my post. The week days hold truths that I face, usually biblical or academic. and the weekends hold opportunities to create and understand. Neither really exhibit signs of sleep/rest/ease but each of them grow me, represent me and somehow balance me out. and I take joy in this harmony. so let me continue to share.

8 things you can learn about me from my weekend:

1. I am an old person at heart.
2. I love to people watch.
3. I love love love kids.
4. I love love love love love love Jesus.
5. Baking is awesome.
6. I find trees to be photogenic, inspiring and really trendy in a good way.
7. I appreciate change.
8. Lemon heads are almost my best friends. seriously though, a tub of lemon heads (the large real ones that come individually packaged) with a bow slapped on it is a legit present in my book.

camera phone documentation to go along:








check out this tree! who knew el cajon was this pretty?




my first quilt made it through it's first washer/dryer experience...























so I wanted to add something new ish to my room.. so i gathered some old fabric, cut out some paper birds...and

VIOLA! fly...
in normal lighting...the word love is hiding as it is only clear paint that the water color slide right off.. this is now above my desk..
note: i need to be more cautious in my application of acrylic binder as it tends to glisten in comparison to the rest of the canvas.













and try and tell me these aren't adorable! Mini pumpkin pies.. so simple and yummy..just use cupcake holders instead of pie pans and you get individual fall flavored goodies..thanks to Alicia for ripping this idea out of a magazine while in the dr.'s waiting room, you're a doll!








And that's a wrap.
homework time.

"Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny."

it's incredibly difficult to know to whom the credit goes for that quote..google was no help, but the point is:
BE MINDFUL OF YOUR THOUGHTS!
