    Moments [March 2017]

    March 31, 2017 · Life ·  

    Wow! March, where did you go? In hindsight, this month feels like it flew by and just like that spring is here. I am not sure I am ready for April but will prepare myself to jump all in to the challenges it will bring anyways. Also, I am excited to continue to enjoy the spring months. I have already begun some spring cleaning and I have been really enjoying the added daylight at the end of each day. All these things have been making me feel more energized and I am finding new ways to create more space in my life for what feels great.

    To be honest, March has been full of hard work, uncertainty, creative blocks, good food, self care, and increased confidence. My emotions have spanned the range of extreme anxiety to pure elation. One important part of navigating such a wide array of emotions is certainly reflecting and celebrating the little moments of each day or week. Not all of March was pretty, but here are some moments that were.

    I have been taking more time, when I have it, to go through the process of preparing a meal for myself. Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat and also my favorite to cook. It has felt really good lately to not rush it. 

    Rifle Paper Co. is a top favorite in the illustration and stationary game. When I heard their local shop was having their Spring Sidewalk Sale, I decided to meet up with a friend after work to check it out. And because I obviously do not already own enough pretty notebooks, I picked up another along with some cute cards to add to my collection. 

    After church on Sunday afternoons I have been treating myself to a yummy lunch and some quiet time. Honestly, I was not even quite sure what an acai berry was before this day. I am happy to report whatever they are is delicious and pair nicely with a good book in the park. 

    I am an introvert in so many ways. It affects the relationships I have with others, how I create, and most importantly the way I feel. Quiet moments of solitude can be rare but are really important to me. I cherish these moments with a good book curled up in bed on a lazy Sunday morning. 

    I enjoy expressing creativity in so many ways. Especially when it involves wine. Sister nights very often include great food and plenty of wine but the paintbrush and canvas was a huge bonus. 

    Passion Fruit Strawberry donuts from Valkyrie Doughnuts (donut/doughnut…whatever) are a new favorite. Enough said.

    Heart and Bloom had a couple custom wood sign orders this month! So much fun expressing myself through hand lettering in a way others can enjoy. 

    What were the best parts of your month in March?

    Oh hi 🙋🏽‍♀️ Long time no post. Life be Oh hi 🙋🏽‍♀️ Long time no post. Life behind the scenes has been chaotic in the most unexpected ways which I do plan to open up about eventually as I’m sure many can relate and share advice/experiences. ⁠

But on to some fun stuff. I did some mini paintings of bakeshop treats after spending a week in Houston eating all the things and visiting my favorite bakeries in the city. Huge fan of a pistachio croissant from Common Bond Bakery if you are ever in the area. 🥐 🧁 🥖 ⁠

What are your favorite bakery treats? 🧡

    I spent the weekend enjoying a peaceful solo retre I spent the weekend enjoying a peaceful solo retreat on the lake in the cutest tiny home. Not only was it fun to try out tiny home living for a few days but I found it so relaxing to look out to that lake view all day. I painted, read books, drank wine, and enjoyed some much needed me time. 🌟 💜⁠

    Happy Wednesday! I just wanted to pop on to share Happy Wednesday! I just wanted to pop on to share some sketchbook pages. I started a new sketchbook and decided to start with some #100dayswithsabina prompts. I don’t think I’ll probably do all 100 days but I’m enjoying all the prompts so far. 

Day 1: #cafe
Day 2: #yoga
Day 3: #ocean

My goal with this sketchbook is to work loosely in subjects I’m familiar with to see what else I can discover with them and spend more time practicing drawing people, faces, movement. 

Having a good time so far. Remember when I attempted a 365 day challenge 🙃 2020 was wild friends. 

Working on some new pieces and excited to share those soon too. Who wants to see some new art in my Etsy shop finally?
