Colorful Scenes From My Sunday

Sunday2

My sweet Sunday so far: lounging in bed, working on lots and lots of crafty projects (quilts! keychains! papercutting! pajaki!) and organizing my jewelry. Later, there will be kebab eating, a nice long walk and then Game of Thrones!

California / Part 2

Holy moly, I took a lot of photos in California. There is really no shortage of amazing shots to be had- I mean, look at that blue sky. This part, part 2, is mostly from walking around Santa Barbara and falling in love with a gorgeous old movie theater, trying to go to Lotus Land (I'll be back!) and having a ridiculous tri-tip sandwich at the Cold Spring Tavern, this roadside biker joint tucked in the hills of Santa Barbara.

Oh, California

Last week, I headed out to Ventura for Craftcation. Which was awesome!
More on that later but for now, whie I get my head out of the California clouds, some eye candy. Of long drives from the beach, through hills blanketed with sage brush and cacti reaching towards the warm sun. Of lots of coffee (some mixed with coconut cream!), good conversations that rolled on for miles and crisp rosés drunk at fancy schmancy resorts that we can't afford.
I love Southern California.

Far Better Things

This is something I have to believe. Even, no especially, when it seems like an impossibility.
