Simple Black & White Wallpapers to Keep You Motivated

1 Comment

So I’ve been quiet about it here on A&D (because I was afraid of jinxing it), but I am confident enough to mention that I am working really hard to get my lazy ass in shape…and it’s working. Part of that has been my slow ascent into the ranks of the runners here in NYC thanks to the Couch to 5K program.

I also need motivation to keep my act in gear in general. For some reason I slack off even on the things I enjoy. I have this bizarro mentality where I save the fun stuff (and that includes blogging, commenting, etc} for later so I have something to look forward to. Then suddenly it’s the end of the day and I’ve done nothing.

I think of these wallpapers as kind of a string around the finger to remind me to get up and go, in all aspects of life.

Finally Finished: A Place for Out the Bus Window

Comment

I’m really excited to share with you my latest work in progress: Out the Bus Window. All photos here were taken with my phone (samsung sIII) from an NYC MTA bus window.

OTBW

It’s been a long time since I had a creative project that genuinely made me smile and feel excited. In fact, part of me is bummed I don’t have to go to work today and so I don’t have to get on the bus.

Oh well, that leaves more time for my other crazy project I haven’t told you about… getting in shape. But that’s for another day.

Working Making Doing – Sneak A Peek

I’m in one of those weird places where I’m actually creating so much that I haven’t had the chance to blog about it yet. Here’s some sneak peeks…

If I haven’t popped by to say hello in the last few days, forgive me! It’s been a kind of a transformation week. A lot has been moving and shaking around here… literally! More on that and everything else soon!

What are you up to these days?

Is it any wonder with this new bout of beautiful spring weather that I might be in the mood for something minty fresh? I might even just put a pitcher of mint and lemon on my counter just so I can stare at it.

Of course, right as I say this we’re getting our first thunderstorm of the season followed by a cold front. Guess I’ll have to rely on Etsy to keep the spring vibe going for a few days.

Etsy Wednesday: Letterpress Time Wasting Experiment

I’m somewhat obsessed with time, both how little there is and how often I find myself wasting it. In fact I’ve convinced most of my time is wasted and that’s why I was instantly drawn to these letterpress prints by Alyson Provax.

Maybe I need a few as a reminder that I’m not the only one who spaces out, dwells, and can generally just be lazy. Maybe that’s ok?
