Day 236, pick a color.

Check out all of these crayons! Remember, I have an art teacher mother. I wonder how long it will take a normal human being to go through all of these crayons. There's only one way to find out...

Day 219 is crafty

My mom is a creative lady. With an art background, she's always thinking up fun little projects. This is another one. She's handweaving a basket using fabric and this rope-like material. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Day 193 is not a hoarder

This sweet print is on a paper shopping bag I got the other weekend when I went to the shore. It has been sitting in my room, staring at me ever since. I want to keep it and reuse it for something or other. Part of this instinct probably comes from growing up with an art teacher mother. Obviously this paper bag is an art project waiting to happen! However, I am also an avid watcher of Hoarders. One day I'm saving paper bags, the next I'm finding 36 dead cats in my garage. Who am I kidding, I'm keeping the bag.

Day 57 is a work of art

Today we went to my mom's alma mater, Moore College of Art and Design in Philly. They had an alumni show to which she submitted work. In case you don't recognize those two cute ladies, it's me and my mom! Her watercolor is of a trip the two of us took to the Chelsea galleries while I was in college. What a talented lady!

Day 8 Braves the Elements

This morning we went to the amazing Artifacts Gallery in Trenton, NJ to pick up a piece of my mom's artwork she had framed. It is an amazing little gem located a stones throw from the New Jersey State Prison. Besides framing, they sell all sorts of cute collectibles from lamps and birdcages to pins and vintage postcards. It was definitely worth freezing my toes off to take a trip to Trenton (first and last time I say that phrase).
