OH, YES. I am awake at this very late (or early) hour. I’m on a creating rampage. Painting up a storm, crocheted ten more granny squares and currently being serenaded by Greg Laswell. I’m fairly disappointed that I missed seeing him in C-bus last week at the Ramba Cafe while I was vacationing. I love his soothing, mellowness. Makes me want to watch clouds for some reason (or maybe I’m starting to get delirious). Sleepy, sleep lovelies!
((psst. speaking of paint…make sure you stop by to see this monday’s miscellaneous post. eye candy is on the way!))
I’ve been painting up a storm. I’ve gone through 6 mini canvases already. Using summer inspired colors. Tropical aquas, granny smith greens, blueberry blues, butter lemon yellows. I’ll update on the results of my collage of canvases. Looking to put them in my bathroom.
Listening to the following inspires me to create: Iron & Wine, Joshua Radin, Jose Gonzalez and Citizen Cope. Can’t get enough of these albums:
The following video is of Sir Ken Robinson on speaking about “schools killing creativity.” Reasons why you should take the time to watch:
He’s hilarious. I love Brits.
He has very valid points about how education systems can be factory-like. Students as raw materials and teachers as conveyors of simple knowledge. The ultimate argument about growth in learning and knowledge through creativity. He also talks about an idea he calls “academic inflation” – that a student isn’t as valued because the things they are good at are ranked inferior or even stigmatized because they are creatively-based. “Suddenly degrees aren’t worth anything.”
back to curriculum evaluation project. boo.
the sunshine, pool and a non-school book is calling my name…
We’re not much for over-the-top Valentine’s gifts here in the Current home but this year we gave some sweet gifts. The gift of MUSIC. For me… tickets to see COLD WAR KIDS. :) For the hubster… tickets to see BLACK JOE LEWIS and the HONEYBEARS! And because we love our furry friends… Have [...]
We’re married! (**please note: Troy’s boogey-board accident, including an injury to his face, is apparent in this photo.) Our wedding was, hands down, the best day of our lives. It was magical and everything we wanted – and wouldn’t have been possible without the wonderful people in our lives. (Literally, that wedding was my only [...]
Let’s just get married already, ok? I’m on wedding overload between all the photographing, participating, and planning. Loving every minute but ready to be a Mrs. That’s all. Hope you’re having a splendid summer. Sorry for my absence. I’m a busy, busy girl. :)
Go here check out the sneak peak of our engagement photos by studio3z. We’re over the moon about them and can’t wait to see how the rest of them turned out. Jess and Brett are by far the hippest married photographers I’ve ever met. We’re very, very excited for them to be there to capture [...]
