is it friday yet?

blah.  it’s been one of those weeks.  post labor-day bluesy - and now i’ve got a day full of super tedious tasks ahead of me at the office (that i have done exceptionally well at avoiding thus far - one of my special talents in life) - submitting way overdue expense reports, for example.  boo.  i hate expense reports. 

anyway… i need something inspiring and creative to help jumpstart this gloomy morning - so here are some lovely illustrations from leanne shapton.  they are getting me jazzed for when i am finally unpacked and settled in here and can set up some space in my guest bedroom/office for some painting/drawing/sewing projects.  projects that don’t revolve around shoes in any way shape or form.  (or expense reports, for that matter.)  have i mentioned my fall goal is to reacquaint myself with watercolors?!  fun, right?
