Lucky

This weekend, starting last night, I am in the company of friends who create and paint and write and see. All day today we played art. and tomorrow, two of my big yellow writer friends and i will head to provincetown for the weekend. they won't mind hearing me read parts of my book in progress and i will love to hear theirs. We will also walk the beach and see sunrise at race point. and swim and talk.

And ahhh today:

Today JB and I had the most perfect guests: good friends. friends from the blogs. friends who mingled so effortlessly and joyfully. we dabbled and sculpted and ate lobster rolls and cupcakes and just delighted.

JB had a zillion doodads to share. She provided empty plastic boxes and said take what you want. This is suki's. i marvel at her design sense even in filling this box.

And this is lo's. i wonder what she will make from this stash.

Mim taught me how to make a bowl using paper clay. I added lichen to the bottom and I will varnish it before i paint it, if i even paint it. that is seran wrap you see to make the bowl crinkle and it all sits inside a real bowl to give it its shape.

this is mim's bowl. I learned alot from her today. ♥


lo brought cupcakes to celebrate our birthdays

mim and I bought a dozen super large sunflowers and at the end of the day we each had three.

suki

lo


mim

us

Don't be telling me it's not possible to make true blue friendships from blogging (i know you won't be telling me that). I have friends in my life, I had friends before i started blogging. but these guys are keeper friends. we have so much fun together.

and to my partner JB: so so glad to share this with you ♥
