Stay-cation continued

Enjoying my stay-cation so far ... filled with bustling activities, beginning with my invigorating jog/walk beneath a jaw-dropping, bright crescent moon, hung low in a twilight sky and seen with a foreground of embracing trees.


I spent some of the morning cleaning the area I watercolored yesterday (on the floor - see pic below:) . To prevent the extra work, a big priority is to set up a work space in my artroom; after all, that's what it's for.

I tutored myself on watercolor via reading and watching a sample video. I found myself with some ah-hah moments, but mostly moments thinking "Uh-huh, easy for them to say." As much as the impatient side of me just wants to put brush, color and water to paper, I will refrain until I get more instruction.

I initially entertained the idea of staying in a Bed & Breakfast, but decided to create my own tailored to me. I got this bedspread (in pic below) to jumpstart my feel of being in (a cottage-y) one.

I also got my first pet, Theodore (darker bear in picture above), who was sold at the same place, Tuesday Morning (that's not only open Tuesday mornings, lol). He's awesome. He's soft and doesn't fuss or eat much ;)

I also prepared my own fare. Yes, I cooked. For those who know me, know this is quite a feat. What I found interesting was that it was more do-able than watercolor. It could be because I bought an indoor grill (thanks, Laura for the tip), the ease of which made all the differerence. I made a grilled eggplant and portobello sandwich. Trippy to learn how to de-gill mushrooms. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome, not only in appearance, but in taste.

And now I must take leave to clean up the kitchen and meet with Tammy for some Kava. Too bad this "Bed & Breakfast" doesn't have a cleaning lady apart from the tenant, lol.

Be good to you and have a Happy remainder of your Labor Day weekend ♥
