Mondays are starting to be my favorite workweek day

Today was another gorgeous day in the city: sunny, blue skies, a nice cooling breeze. It was just heaven. I abandoned going to the studio, and instead spent the day hopping from place to place, writing in my sketchbooks. I am in the process of finalizing my thoughts and ideas about what the Thesis will be, and what my contribution to the MFA exhibition will be. It was a super productive experience, and the ideas came freely after I found the right spot to sit and jot down my thoughts.

On my travels, I stopped in at PaperSource on Filmore and spent some time looking at their goods. It's one of my favorite stores, and I had to force myself not to buy anything. The best new find in there was the blank pillow boxes, which are perfect for putting small gifts into. And because they're made from blank white paper, the gift giver is free to decorate/paint/draw whatever they want on it.

As I got closer to home, I decided to stop in Grace Cathedral once and for all. I've lived a few blocks away for over a year and a half now, and I've never gone in. It was amazing. Beautiful stained glass windows, gold leaf paintings on the walls, and a super cool indoor wool tapestry labyrinth near the entrance to the church. More on this here.

Now it's time to start tidying the apartment and washing the dishes. A lot of play and a little bit of work. Ah, life is good.
