friends + art + blogging

i've been a very lazy blogger.

i was chastised tonight, and well, it's true. 

i thought i'd blog a lot this week because matt's mom is here this week.

grandma pam time means more studio and susannah time for me 

while little m frolics with her grandma.

alas, this week ended up being a bit crazy.

so not as much painting as i wanted.

not as much blogging.

(an old painting, that i just stumbled upon in my studio storage. 

it's big- like, oh, about the size of a bed.)

but one of the treats this week is that a friend that i have made 

(via the world of blogging & thanks to molly in utah) 

came to visit me in my studio!

it was such a treat, and as usual, we had a great time connecting.

among the many things i enjoy talking about with nicole is that 

she is a few years ahead of me in the journey of parenting a deaf child: 

her 6 year daughter is also deaf and has a cochlear implant.

since nicole is also a blogger, she ever so kindly documented her visit to my space!

we talked, looked at art- the greeting card kind and the on canvas kind, drank coffee, and enjoyed uninterrupted conversation minus our kids.

if you want a peek into her visit, go here...

(and you should read her blog anyway, because it is just great)
