steven worked late at his office so i got into my zone and it felt oh so good.
i lit my cute little mason jar candle and happily painted for hours.
oooh, i love when i make time for my painting!
but now my brain is a blob. because when i say i was up late, i mean i was up really late.
and i burned through my whole candle.
this happens much too easily when i start projects at night
which i kind of do a lot because it’s my most favsiest time to do all things creative.
[when i try to go to bed early i just lay there and get all these ideas and then get up again!
i know. morning people do not not not understand this.]
i wish i just never ever had to sleep. like edward cullen.
martha stew says she gets less than 5 hours of sleep a night.
oh, martha, how do you do it?
[ps. my cute little wooden art box was a christmas gift from my prince husband charming!
he is such a sweetie. smiley face. i love him.]
quite contrary says
will you show the painting?
Megan says
I don't function with less then 9-10 hours of sleep…
I'm not quite sure what that says about me…I guess that I am no Martha..that is for sure.
Michaela says
I love other people who are night people π
Yay for making more time for painting π
Rachael says
Wish I could see your finished product!
Courtney says
you'll have to show us your masterpiece when it's finished!
Caroline Cakewise says
Your life seems so magical – full of love, creativity and happiness! It's so cheering to read about it! π Can I link to your site on my blog? I love love LOVE it! xxx
CMae says
Oh how I adore your posts. Your life is really as your title says…CHARMING! Love it! Hopefully you'll share your painting masterpiece on here! π
Rachel {Inspiration in Italy} says
I totally agree! Night time is my favourite time to do all things creative also…isn't there something so wonderful about looking at the clock and wondering where the time has gone when you have thrown yourself into something you are passionate about? I agree with the other comments here as well, your life seems so cozy, cheerful and indeed charming. π I'm so grateful for my crazy adventures but visiting you here reminds me that I am excited to one day buy a house and settle down in just one town with my love. π
Love visiting you here! Have a wonderful weekend lady!
xoxo

qc, rachael & courtney, i haven't decided if it's finished or not! i'll definitely share when it's ready! hopefully lots more to come, too.
megan, i think that's normal! i'm perfect with 8 hours but usually get 5-7. there's a reason martha is the only martha, i suppose, ha!
michaela, i sooo love finding other night people!
caroline, cmae, & rachel, yall are too too sweet! i think after all the craziness we've experienced in the past couple of years we are just so happy to be happy! and young! life is fun π
and caroline, yes! please do!

aww this is so cute, it's so enlivening when you can really get 'into the zone' in a project. for me, i feel so accomplished & inspired after!
ahh i could never function on 5 hours of sleep. i don't know how martha does it!
