MOBIAS

first 2 minutes + ready to go.
team MOBIAS.

tons of people showed up.

our little monster.
tobias + beau.
almost done!
Here are a few pics of our team MOBIAS competing in the Art of War event a few months ago. Such a fun event...They don't tell you until a week before what your "canvas" is and only 24 hrs before to tell you the dimmensions. Then the night of the event, we had 2 hours to make a pallette cube into anything we wanted. So crazy + stressful...but our little guy turned out quite cool.

happy new year.




So, Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm a few days late, but I am finally ready to say it.I am looking forward to what this new year is going to bring. Mr. 2011- what are you all about? Here are a few of my goals:
1. Eat as clean as possible + make new recipes out of organic+ locally grown food
2. Create more. More art. Two projects a month would be good.
3. Memorize more scripture so that I can be ready!
4. Career move.
Most of all, I want to keep finding out who God has made me to be, by growing + learning as much as possible. Although 2010 was one of those tough years...it was a growing one + what more could I ask for? I've come out of it a better woman, ready to face 2011. Let's make it a good one!

I'm Still Here




Joaquin Phoenix. I still love him. Yep. And can't wait to see this!

a word for today.

Do you ever have one of those amazingly good cries. You know the type: heavy sobs, snotty nose drips, sluured speech, all of which leads to the ultimate low: the inability to catch your breath resulting in deep gasps for air?
Well, the other night I had an amazingly good cry.
I guess you could say that I've had a few down days lately. Blame it on feeling sick, that time of the month, finding myself, boy issues...blah blah blah. Whatever the cause- this cry came in like a flood, as fear crept in and sadness started to cover me like a snuggie. It was the kind of pain that makes you sick to your stomache. Yep, that kind. As I went to bed, I prayed for a long time + when no direct comfort or answers came I drifted off to sleep. Heavy sleep. The sleep where your head doesnt leave it's place on the pillow and you wake up feeling like you've emerged from a winter's long hibernation to a spring morning.
And when I woke up, I felt God gently lift my head off the pillow and say to me "Today is a new day"... and although the pain of the night before was still there, it had subsided a little. There is joy and peace in knowing that I won't have to live that day again. Life is moving and the pain I felt yesterday will decrease and someday seem like a distant memory.
I have hope, because God has given me today to get up + do life.
hope this is an encouragement.

new headboard for a new year.

paint a canvas in a bold solid? fun.
love the idea of blowing up an image. takes you to another place!

fabric mounted in a recycled frame. genious + fresh.

love this idea. especially with the dark walls. feels like magic!

really love the reclaimed wood. might be a winner?

Thinking about making a new headboard for my bed. right now I have a picture collage of vintage photos i've collected...but I'm really wanting something new. I've been putting off doing my room for a while now + these images are just the thing to jumpstart the creative process. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. I will post pics of what comes out of this little diy endeavor soon.

going green-ish.



Up until this very new and recent point in my life, I have been sustainably clueless. If you asked me what words come to mind when I hear "green", I would've quickly stated something sassy like "liberal" or "dirty hippies". The thought of being environmentally conscious was one that I repelled from, because I equated it with a political group I don't always see eye to eye with.

Then conviction set in.

I have felt God putting it on my heart to be more open to learning about becoming a better steward. A better steward of the money I have, the earth He's created, my body and health...ect. I want to explore + learn more about being a better consumer. I know that to whom much is given, much is expected.

I've been given a lot + it's time to figure out how to live simpler+ consume smarter.

With that said: here are two of the books I've received so far...waiting on 3 more! I will have to share my journey with you...all 8 of my readers. (4 of which are family. ha)

art inspiration: {Richard Pearse}











Richard Pearse is an incredible artist + I want one of his art pieces like now. His use of color + salvaged wood are playful, interesting, and just plain enjoyable. I am a fan of Richard Pearse, I think you will be too. If only I had thought to ask for one of these for christmas :)
