i'm pretty psyched that it's friday. 

this week i made pita bread, after being inspired by stephanie's. it actually worked, even though i am totally bread-klutzy. i let it rise a good long time, and i think that made all the difference. i often get impatient about how long things take in the kitchen. patience, young jedi.

ellie was super excited to find out that she had a sculpture in the citywide school art show. we went to the opening last night (the picture of blossoms above is from outside city hall.)  i wanted to kiss her art teachers, who were both there beaming and being supportive. i love them, and love that my kids are excited about making art.

i got an old favorite cd out this week. some songs are best listened to when the kids are not sitting in your lap. i still know all the words by heart.

i am enjoying these two artists' work a lot right now:
stehpanie levy
leah giberson
i 'met' them both through etsy recently and am really excited about what they're up to.

enjoy your weekend! i hope it is sunny and lovely where you are.

We made some of Stephanie's pita also and it was freaking delicious. So cool about Ellie -- I'm sure she made a splash with both her art and her hip outfit. ;-) Have a good day! xo

Oh, that must have been so exciting for everyone last night! What fun, and how wonderful to have all that support around her too.

Here's hoping you have a sunny weekend, perhaps without men on ladders peering into your bathroom windows. ;)

And hooray for parents who go to their kids art shows!!! I'm so sad when they don't attend.

Ooh--I love the collages by Stephanie Levy. They appeal to two of my big fixations, paper art and illustration (not to mention mod furniture). Good find!

how strange...i 'met' stephanie this week too...we had several ridiculous conversations about english people calling their dogs lucy and sam (mine and my husband's name although i spell it differently) it was very random, but very, very funny :)

(oh yes we did lucie!)

I listened to Exile in Guyville this weekend too and still knew all the words. It had been awhile but I was so enamored when that 'album' (ha) first came out! ...Like letters and sodas.
