In a world with more than 6 billion people...

it was bound to happen...
There is another red-headed Hannah out there who likes coffee, sometimes. Check it out on etsy. I'm surprised by how tempted I am to buy this...

Its interesting also because I just listened to this episode of Radio Lab. Yes, I know I'm way behind, but these shows are like gold - I like to spread them out to make them last. The concept of the show is fascinating - that the perception of fate is really just a failure to zoom out far enough. And here, my friend Nancy, dropped a link on my facebook page to this delightful work of art to prove that, even halfway around the world, there is someone out there who, freakily enough resembles me in some key ways (but I'm sure she doesn't resemble me in other key ways).

Ladies and gentlemen, your moment of zen.

Watercolor


Watercolor, originally uploaded by hannah8ball.

My daughter has been into painting this week.

I'll admit, I'm a bit taken with it myself. I love the way the colors flow into one another and build depth. Even accidents (like spilling the water glass) end up looking beautiful.

I may have to end up taking up a brush or two myself...

Detail of the media cabinet our good friend Todd made for us. I cannot describe how amazing this is. What an incredible gift. I feel very loved.


The BMC on location

Here is a shot of the media cabinet as a whole. Beautiful!

Thank you, Todd!!

Playing in the clay. The husband got me a pottery wheel for our anniversary last year, but it's taken me this long (nearly a year) to find the time to start playing. So, a friend and I were just conditioning the clay, getting it ready to work. Hopefully I'll have time in the next few weeks to actually get out the wheel and make something (a mess most likely) :)

Clay is so much fun!

More from art night. The inspiration has been a little lagging this week.

Here's another bright spot in our yard - the compost bin corner. I love the unruly vibrancy of the volunteers, and our cats love all the extra catnip.

What better way to use those ceramics projects than to put plants in them?

Pay it forward

A few days back (my goodness has it been half a month already?!), I was one of 3 lucky commenters on my favorite contemplative blog who gets to play Pay it Forward. Emily writes beautifully, takes amazing pictures and does fabulous paintings, and so much more; if you have time, go check out her blog, it WILL be worth your time. But, I digress, Pay it Forward. The rules are as follows (copied from Emily):

i will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this pay it forward exchange. i don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! the only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

Help me pass it on. Comment. Inspire. Create. Pay it Forward.
