Weekend Wrap-up

I hope you all have some good weekend plans. It’s funny how our definition of a good weekend has changed over the past year. I was always a bit of a homebody, but I am now an uber-homebody. With all of this time at home, I struggle to stay away from work (especially when work involves paint, paper and glue). Having plans for the weekend help me have a little more balance.

This weekend I am planning on doing some baking for Valentine’s Day. I have a few boxes of goodies I want to send to some friends and family. I found this recipe for Valentine’s fudge, so I am definitely making this. My dad loves poundcake, so I have been searching for a recipe I can bake in a loaf pan, so it will be easier to mail to him. My usual recipe has to be cooked in a bundt pan, so I am considering this recipe or this one.

This week I started listening to “Soulful Simplicity” by Courtney Carver. She talks about simplifying her life after an MS diagnosis. I am excited to keep listening to this. (Plus the Kindle version is on sale right now)

On Sunday, I am joining the Bookmaker Collective introduction on Zoom. Some of my favorite bookmakers will be teaching workshops throughout the year. I can’t wait to hear what they have planned.

I had hoped to get some time in my garden, but now it looks like we will have a rainy weekend. I am hoping to squeeze in a bit tomorrow morning before the rain starts. Maybe I should take my Saturday morning yoga outside? Multi-tasking self-care is okay, right?

Happy Arting!
