I love spinach

Fresh spinach, tofu and Israeli couscous are my favorites lately {not necessarily all together}.

Me

After about 6 failed starts, I landed here. I think the last time I attempted a self-portrait was either in high school or college art class. This hat is really white, but I wanted some more color. Sometimes I wish it was orange anyway.

HM's lunch box

I got home from lap swim around 10:30pm and was looking around for something to quickly sketch. 2 hours later and here it is. HM's lunch box (when she is not using her Hello Kitty one — in her words, she likes to "alternate"). I took full advantage of everyone sleeping — the pleasure of 2 uninterrupted hours to myself. Took much longer than I thought, but I had to take my time to get those feline details down. Turkey + pepperjack sandwich, Cameo apple, Club crackers and string cheese. Usually about 1/4-1/3 left over at the end of the day to eat on her way home or as soon as we walk in the door.

Ginger molasses @ SODO Macrina

I had to make this quick. E was sleeping in his carrier next to me at SODO Macrina. I am picky about baked goods, but I love everything at Macrina! This ginger molasses cookie hit the spot! A tiny bit crunchy with a crackle of sugar on the outside and the perfect softness inside. Pen with added watercolor back at my studio.

I can't believe it's snowing! Got to go get HM…

Never-ending laundry

Seems like I am either always doing laundry, thinking about laundry, putting off doing the laundry or complaining about the laundry! Here are two stacks that sat around downstairs while I watched the Grammys with M…who is inside right now doing laundry as I write this. It can sit in the basket for a week before I get around to putting it away. By the time I get to it, it is half-unfolded from rummaging around it in looking for the one or two black shirts that fit me ok! M usually folds and I end up putting it away…eventually. Better get inside and help — or just watch T.V.
