hi.

i'm going to be honest.

so. things are a little rough over here at the moment.

i'll be okay. don't worry too much. [:

i'm keeping my secrets and dreams over here for now.

i'm making art like a stupid person whose heart bleeds paint,

but i'm not at the point where i can share any.

i'm going to london for two weeks for a short course.

this will hopefully make my blogging itch come back, and produce two big projects.

i leave on saturday.

i have a new paperline and a kit that just needs finalizing (they look beautiful)!

expect that in August!

my class went extremely well.

i'm debating whether or not to run another one. i really enjoyed it.

but i don't know if i can juggle it into my schedule.

this is a list of musical artists i highly recommend if your heart and eyes and head and soul are a little bruised;

lisa hannigan, first aid kit (above), regina spektor, she and him, tanya davis, low anthem, fleet foxes, kimya dawson. 

i've seen so many spiders these last few days. big ones. i don't know how i'm going to cope on my own.

have you had a cup of tea today? it's been raining here and that always comforts me.

i hope you're having a good week wherever you are and whatever you're doing.

take a picture.

love youkxo

hope things get better for you soon and that you have an amazing time in london.

as for spiders... i despise them so much i used to keep a small can of bugspray in my purse at all times (so i could just spray, then run away - since i'm too chicken to even go near them!)

i've had a rough couple of weeks too, first i got my heart broken then i got really sick. The broken heart was so much more painful.At some point you heal & are all the more stonger for it, but getting there is a struggle & can take a lot of time. You'll get by with a little help from your friends :)

I hope your trip calms your spirit and soul- we all need a chance to run away sometimes, even if somewhere on the horizon we know we have to return. -e
