the one where i just want to make beautiful things...

i feel like this is the story of my life right now. with the down time i'm having before wedding season is in full swing, i want to do nothing but make things. anything. i want to make the most beautiful hand made cards that are both clever and cute. i want to paint with every color in the rainbow even though i've got nothing to paint. i want to repurpose old things and give them a new life. i want to bake scrumptious treats to share with everyone i meet. i want to take pictures of everything - people, buildings, food, my surroundings, my life. they may not be beautiful things to everyone or even to me but i will be creating something and that makes me feel good.

i want to do this all for me. for no one else. even if nobody cares.

the one with the digs & donts | february

i decided to start a new monthly "thing" where i talk about what i'm currently digging and what i'm don'ting. yes, i know that's not a word, and i'm okay with that :)

DIGS
- living in columbus. oh yea, forgot to mention that in a blog post. i moved here in january into an itty bitty studio apartment. anyways, there's SO much to do around here and i absolutely love it.
- downton abbey. it's a pbs show but it's fantastic. and it means every sunday night i get to plop down in front of the tv with matt and find out the latest gossip in downton. love it. watch it.
- asked to be one of erin's bridesmaids. i'm so excited for erin and to get to be a part of her special day. being able to enjoy a wedding will such a treat!


DONTS
- paying taxes. yes it's that time of year and being the first year having a business on my own - yea i don't wanna talk about it.
- money. why can't it grow on trees?
- busy schedules that aren't mine. this has been a big struggle and something matt and i are trying to work on everyday. he's busy while i'm not and i insist he drops everything and spends all waking moments with me :)
