solstice passing.

dears, it has been a wild week outside my door and a calm, quiet one in our home. snow has been falling since last week, and it's been a wonderful time to reflect on the year and turn within during the time of the solstice. since my last post, i've created holiday gifts to send to my family, tinkered with the seasonal decor around the house and watched bk make three batches of fudge in one afternoon. lovely-ness.

new work. cute overload. good things.

darlings, i've just spent the afternoon drawing in drippy ink and painting a few new pieces for the bedroom. i love to make things. lately, my schedule has been so hectic that the few hours of un-interrupted time for creating felt like a gift from the universe. so THANK YOU universe!

also, while i was away last weekend, my darling mister scanned a stack of photos of shyla as a puppy. i think they are both too cute for words.

have a positively delightful weekend, my dears. we are laying low tonight, but will be out spreading the good vibes at a show tomorrow night and at the free yoga class i'm teaching at lululemon on sunday! {seattle peeps-- would love to see you there at 9:30 on sunday morning.}

all love,
k

it doesn't take much to make me happy.

dear-hearts! hello! happy wednesday{?}! we had a simply lovely morning here at casa de loves whales: bk & i took shyla for an early morning walk to the lake. divine. the fog over the lake melted into the mountains. this is living. i had a realization whilst biking home from yoga on monday: i am happy. there have been times in my life when the mind-chatter was loud, frantic, drunk on its own sense of importance and organization of the world. happily, now, those moments have been replaced {for the most part} with thoughts of the sun on my arms and all of the colors of green in the trees. i know that things are not "perfect" in the world on a macro level, and i know that some might not find my life "perfect" either. that's okay. finding joy in the simple things is enough. and i think that is pretty perfect.

more later.
