Hot dog summer days
For being a night owl, I'm up terribly early these days. Sunrises are too early to catch, still, but I'm all for magical mornings. Before the heat, before the harsh sunlight (although the sun rises quickly), and definitely before most people head out, that's when we...
Daily dog drawings (procrastinating the end of the challenge)
Last week, I wrote that this would have been my final week of the 100-day dog drawing challenge. I was thinking of drawing more portraits to finish the challenge- but I couldn't just yet. - It felt more fun to split the last remaining drawings over...

We got sun on our minds
As I sit down to write this post, the warm and sunny days feel so far away. I feel the wintery mood in my bones and dive deep into my warm cardigan. The light outside is flat, the sky shades of grey, a perfect day...
