this weekend was glorious.
we played with oona.
we walked in the rain.
we listened to npr while drinking coffee.
we enjoyed a leisurely mothers' day lunch with friends and their littles.
delightful.

family time

dears, since we last spoke, i had some family time back in the midwest. it was lovely. here are some of my memories.




Sorry for the hiatus. I came back from our trip with a coughy-cold and have been slow to recover. I'm back now... for at least a bit.

la la la monday.

dolls,
this weekend was the best.
the absolute best.
i feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
{and now i'm eating a potato burger & cantaloupe. the day just keeps getting better.}






peace. & LOVE.
always.

my trip to st. louis

was exquisite.



big, fat naps with the ruggies.
hugging all of my people close.

the trip east.

we visited the twin cities this weekend in honor of my sister's graduation from graduate school. she's an amazing gal. we spent time with friends and family. here and there. here are a few of my favorite snippets of what we did.

this weekend, we traveled for my cousin's wedding. we left the mossy, mushroomy, fern-filled rain forest of home for sun-scorched arizona. i love photographing the desert. the colors are so hot, so sleepy-saturday afternoon compared to december in the pacific northwest. as much as i love visiting the more arid nooks of the world, they delight me the most in their ability to foster even more love & gratitude for my home. we returned with a smile; the rain greeted us with life.

big smiles.

this weekend, i...
taught a magical workshop on thriving in grey winters with yoga.
ate de-lish pre-thanksgiving thanksgiving with friends & family.
watched a superbly visual film called L'Iceberg.
smeared ink and printed new cards.
how about you?

scenes from a wedding.

darlings, i have been dying to share some tid-bits of goodness from my weekend visit from my family-in-law. they traveled to the northwest for my bril's (brother-in-law) wedding, and we hosted a houseful for a few days in the emerald city. fun. pure fun. it was a hootenanny from start to finish. here are a few highlights.

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

i'm back!

scenes from the weekend. and a work-in-progress. 500th post celebration!

dear-hearts, hello again!
i am back to relay some of the wonderful goings on of our weekend escape to portland. sigh. our visits to portland are always such happy times. this weekend, we celebrated an upcoming wedding at a fun party. our hosts had amazing taste in wine, food and art: immediately upon walking into their condo, i spied a whole series of prints by one of my favorite creative souls: Friedensreich Hundertwasser! we had a positively delightful time reconnecting with old friends at the party and meeting new ones as well.



bk & i stayed with our gracious friends zephyr, Apollo & zoe. we stayed...er... lived there when we first moved back to the northwest from denver, and bk & had a big laugh when we realized that we've slept in the guest room there more than anywhere else (besides home) over the last seven years. so sweet they are to put up with us.

i met the lovely & amazing mrs. french of bliss! what a sweet soul. i can't wait until we move back to portland and can have her over for potlucks and the such. {i have ridiculous allergic reactions to Apollo--he's a cat; hence, my eyes look puffy beyond belief.}

now i'm back to work on my big piece... here's a sneak peek. she should be finished by week's end.

weekend. la la.

dears, it seems as though i've been away from the blog for so long! i've missed you. we planned a big backpacking trip for the weekend into the week, but our plans for a long and winding trek through the wilderness were thwarted partially by washed out roads and trails and partially by me feeling like a pile of dog poo. we *did* take a nice 7 mile hike with all of our gear. and i got to practice a new moving meditation i've been studying. it was delightful. once back in town (i just love calling what-ever city i'm living in "town"), we watched an episode of Felicity and ate vegan take-out. also, there was a swell bike ride or two and we finally hung the big Obama poster in our front window. it's back to work.
big loves to all of you.
