Parker has been designing her own jewelry from tearing up costume jewelry that I gave her. She also redesigned a whimsical dress into a fairy skirt. Today I took her to the fabric store, and we collaborated on another fairy skirt.
I have to make up for lost time both with the kids and school right now. Things are going at such a fast pace. I've never been so spread thin in my life.
I've found refreshment in my friends. Rebeka and I are collaborating on our second sculpture. I bought fabric for that today. There was just a missing part to my soul w/o her. We have such contrasting schedules this semester, and I hadn't gotten to really talk to her until the other day. We talked for a few hours, but it is never enough :) Really excited about this next project.

*Rebeka started on a portrait of me! I am so in love with the direction she's taking it. You should check out her blog and see the other pieces she's working on this semester.
Also got to squeeze in some lunch-dates with my friends, and I'm really enjoying getting-to-know the people I work with. Plus Ben has surprised me day after day when I come home from work + school. I got orchids last week and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. On top of that he's been cleaning, washing, and organizing the house so I don't have to worry about it.
I'm hoping the Tibetan Book of the Dead helps with a new series I've started sketching and organizing notes/thoughts on. I have all the paper and wood I need, just lacking the time. Hopefully this summer will allow me to dive a bit further into it. Right now my focus is on catching back up in my drawing/anatomy class and German II.
We both looked down/over at the cat. Taking photos for a nose study I was doing.
And here is poor Ben crashed from such a long day. Lo' and Peeves are watching my fork/burrito ever so closely :)
