Yup, this is about the state of things in the home/studio lately. Except instead of berries, they’re chocolate-caramels and little puddles of coffee. Slightly more clothing is usually involved, and Downton Abbey has been playing in the background (along with some unhealthy hat envy).
Seriously. I’ll take them all, please.
I kid, I kid – it’s not that bad – I’m not quite that feral yet. Though lately, with the exception of my daily stroll to the post office I’ve been holing myself up from the grey, wet Seattle weather, and really settling into a hibernation of sorts. My daily ritual goes something like this:

Oh, sorry – not like that, like this:
- cuddling
- coffee
- bath
- music (pandora or last.fm or my small but treasured CD collection)
foraging for berriesfood- work (sketching, research, painting, post office run, getting distracted, finding myself staring off into space for embarrassingly long periods of time)
- more coffee
- {repeat last five steps, as often as necessary}
- documentaries on le TV
- reading (just finished Stiff, the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach – awesome.)
- cuddle cats
- When N gets home, dinner and games {shooting skags, as you do}
So, that’s more or less my life lately – and, as Nick’s just walked in it’s time to move off of the list! What have you guys been doing lately?
