Dear Chelsea,
I so look forward to seeing your home in pictures! I've been dying to see what you've done with your mid-century pieces, your couch, your chalkboard walls and your Charleston Antique finds (jealous!). As much as I love design and your style though, I think I'm more excited to see how Mila has grown! I don't even know what she looks like beyond the squidgy, tiny little newborn phase;) And while that's cute (so cute) that just makes me sad!! I actually followed a link to your brothers web site last week and was quite impressed. He IS talented! Obviously it runs in the family!
I'm up early this morning. It's 6:54 and I'm dressed, my bed is made and I even have makeup on. Are you shocked? This is such a rarity for me that I have to brag about it somewhere! Before I start my next sentence please know that I do realize that its April and there's strangeness to the fact that I'm about to talk to you about New Year's resolutions! In January I resolved to wake up by 6:30am at least 5X per week. Each time I do it my day lines up before me in a way that should be addicting. But, alas, my bed is an addiction that began too long ago. I've even stopped setting my alarm. But here I am today, dressed and ready for a day in the city, re-invigorating myself to do this again tomorrow.
Easter is coming up and I've chosen art supplies as my theme this year. The bunny will be bringing the kids water color pastels, water colors and some good multi-purpose art paper, all three mediums that can be used to create kids art like this:
I am very much inspired by the artistic, unpretentious ,motherly musings of Melissa and Lynne at sugarcityjournal. If I could model our blog off of anyones it would be this one. And it's funny because they recently started blogging in the form of letters! They are both artists, thinkers and creative mothers. Every post of theirs speaks to the calm, creative intelligent part of me that I wish would come out and be present more often. I followed their link to a tutorial on creating water color paintings like this one with your own kids. As soon as we get home from church on Easter Sunday, the kids and I will be painting Aspen Trees! If their not too bad, I'll let you know how it goes.
Happy Easter!
p.s. Where did you get those shorts?
