May all your weeds be wildflowers.
I just can't get enough of flowers! They brighten my day :)
The bluebonnets are almost entirely gone...I've enjoyed them immensely while they were here though. After class I spent more time cleaning and knitting. I also got to watch the Young Victoria with my family, and it was just as great the second time. I just love love stories.
These pictures were taken a few weekends ago after a thunderstorm in my neighborhood and backyard.
Drip drop
Anyone know what kind of plant the one is above? I'd like to know. It is growing like crazy in our yard.
This whole area is usually dried up but was a raging river after the rain.
This song by The Carpenters describes what I have been feeling like, although I do actually love rainy days.
This little wooden block was painted for my brother as a gift just because he's the best brother a girl could ever wish for.
I didn't realize until now that you can see paint on my hand.
I even painted all the sides with flowing organic shapes.
I painted it with blue, black, and white acrylic paint.
You can kind of see his initial M on the bottom in the above photo.
Hope your Friday is great!
Carly of A Girl And Her Blog is celebrating her one year anniversay of her blog. 
As promised, here's one thing I painted yesterday: a matryoshka doll or Russian nesting doll. I haven't painted in a good while and it was so nice to get back into the swing of it :)
Here is a close-up of the face, as you can see she was inspired by the night sky filled with stars, which is something I rarely see living in the city now. So instead I filled her up with a blanket of stars done in a glittery silver. As I was painting it I kept thinking these words over and over 
Her hands are supposed are holding more stars as they are falling from her grasp into the night.
I wanted it to be more mystical and soothing than it turned out as evidence from when I showed, Jessica ,she said 'so it's a glittery fairy with fluffy stars'...
Here is the back of it. Don't worry five more tiny dolls to come :)
Why hello there! This is Sheila, curled up on my floor while I was in the middle of cleaning, so please try to ignore the Hancock's bags in the background...
...I swear this cat is the sweetest thing ever, all she has been doing lately is purring like crazy,sitting happily on my lap of her own volition, playing fetch with her string (is she part dog?!?!?), rubbing up against me, meowing when she sees me, running up the stairs and straight to my door :), sleeping in my lap while studying, and the list goes on...she gets sweeter everyday.
I made this lacy crochet pin about a year ago from the book Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Lacy Crochet! by Chronicle Books. It is one of my favorite things I have ever crocheted and I wear it all the time.
It is actually available as a free pattern from Craft Magazine. Click here for the link.
The pattern in the book was done in a tan and brown colors but I like it much better with brighter colors! Also the way I did it the leaves are hanging off more instead of tucked in but it just looked weird the way the book showed it compared to mine....
I have been painting all day and have some changes I have been planning on making to my etsy shop,more on that later, hopefully for the better. Can't wait to tell you more soon. Happy Sunday :)
Last night Kaitlyn, Jessica, Caitlyn, and I all loaded up in the car to go to see Camera Obscura in Austin. The concert was great! I loved getting to see them soooooo....much! They were amazing live :)
Can I help it that hedgehogs are so cute? 
Click the pictures to see the very talented etsians behind it. 
My mom and two sisters Kaitlyn and Jessica went to Roundtop Texas three weekends ago for the Marburger/Warrenton Antique Fair. It was a long trip but a good one nonetheless. 
They were everywhere it seemed.
This statue was so stoic, I actually walked halfway through just to take a photo of it :)
This is actually my favorite time to be in Texas as all the wildflowers are blooming. It is such a treat seeing all the colors along the highway and in people's yards.
Bluebonnets are so lovely don't you think?
I am not a real huge fan of being in cemetarys, it feels kind of strange to me to be so close to all the graves especially since these seemed to be rather uncared for, so I made sure I left it rather quick.
I have been very busy with some serious spring cleaning in my room. It has been sort of slow going but so far it is making me happy to see it cleaner! Hopefully this cleaner room will mean a more productive atmosphere to create in. I am really looking forward to showing you the finished product! Anyways, I have a test to study for tomorrow so I better get to it :)
