the long weekend...

live your own life
i hope it was restful and fun for y'all. mine was filled with saturday afternoon silk-screening above with the incredible lisa c. don't you love her boots? and her pirate ship mantra "live your own life". so goood. i want one;)

saturday night we went to oakland to our friends kwc & eric's beautiful new home for good eats, and inspiration for re-working our own apartment... which we subsequently spent all of monday switching around rooms and cleaning. broken up with some bollywood (steamy!) music videos and tacos at my co-worker's home. such a sweet mix of people i work with... indian chefs and south american cooks and russian runners... it's all so international. i love it. which is good b/c i worked 12 plus hours sunday.

today was my first day of school! i do still get a nervous excited stomach and woke up really early to walk there and have time for coffee. the class feels promising and rigorous, but in a fun way, and i hope some things solidify for me. i got my very own studio at school... which means it will be so nice to leave work there instead of lugging it back and fourth, but i do feel a bit spoiled with 2 studios!

i hope to share my work soon... open studios is in october already!

hasta luego xo,
mati
