I run, bake, and make things. I also teach elementary kids art stuff.

My child has already started sneak reading books at bedtime! I’m so excited!
Saturday’s keynote speaker was Jason Hackenworth. He doesn’t seem to have a website but he’s on Instagram. His balloon art is intriguing.
The day ended with an artist Bazaar and party. My county got to decorate one of the tables for the party. It was interesting.
After two full days of classes, I slowed it down on Saturday. I built a stomp rocket a mostly STEM class with a little art. Then I hit of the vendor room and tested out products. I did a little watercolor painting with glaze, glued down some beads with glitter glue, and made prints (no pic).
Why am I so sore today? Oh right, I was dancing like I was 20 last night.
The day ended with an awards thing at the Dali Museum! I went for the opportunity to see the museum again. I managed to make it up and down the spiral staircase on my own in the center of the building! I do not handle edges that involve heights.
Friday Round-up of #FAEA conference: most of the sessions I joined today were more lecture style. Not my preference but they contained helpful information. Except the one that turned into an infomercial! Also, the vendor room opened! Loved the hands on options!
You could probably drive all the way home faster than you could make it across the state to where I am.
Please insert conference after FAEA!
Some highlights from Thursday at #FAEA I made my first storybook junk journal. Made an advocacy postcard. Painted a top hat at a mad tea party. Then created a few artist trading cards.
This morning’s keynote speaker linked her creative process to tarot cards and then gave them all Alice and Wonderland characters! And then she added physics! My brain needs coffee!
I didn’t want to run this morning. I argued with myself for like 20 minutes before even getting out of bed. I’m glad I did! I got to run by water and watch the sunrise. 🏃‍♀️
I’m leaving town for a work conference tomorrow morning so naturally, I am baking cookies and sewing! Who needs to pack?!
Would not recommend getting vaccinated on the same day as your long run!

Oh my! I hope his surgery goes well and has a quick recovery.
Last long training run for this race. I made it 11 miles this morning! Probably the best training I’ve done for a half yet. Two weeks until race weekend. I’ll take it easy for the next few runs. 🏃‍♀️
The weather is finally cooperating and it was on 70F this morning!
This skirt is reaching epic levels. I’m considering a tulle underskirt to give the entire thing a little poof. I think I’ll baste the current layers together and see how it looks. 🧵
I love this temp for you. Sorry the leg is preventing you from running.
It was supposed to cool off by this morning. It has not! Another sweat soaked 5k for this Friday morning. 🏃‍♀️
Right now, I’m thinking oatmeal butterscotch chip. But also maybe chocolate with white chocolate chips. Or maybe pumpkin snickerdoodle.

I can never pick just one!
Progress is happening on this skirt. I’ve got the ruffles I was looking for. Now to figure out the rest. That’s a sewing problem for tomorrow. 🧵
Yeah, it’s hella annoying!
