Hello, 35--

breakfast in bed (fresh fruit salad and sourdough toast): 18 holes of putt-putt (I won!):
sushi for lunch (sweet potato maki, inari, tempura): shopping for art supplies: Mark's day off:
dinner at flatbread, by the sea: vegan chocolate cupcakes filled with fudge and topped with raspberries: a new tea pot: madmen with my honey till the lights go out--

35, I think things between us are going to work out just fine.

Happy Birthday! I also turned 35 earlier this year--so far, so good. Also, I meant to tell you that a friend and I visited Portland for the first time yesterday, and I thought of you. Yours is a lovely little city.

I just found your blog and I love it! I can't wait to try the little pink house tutorial.

I'm a Melissa too and just turned 35 on August 7. It isn't so bad, but ask me in 4 years how I feel :)

Melissa Crowe said...

Yes, Melissa--we'll have to support each other through it. ;-) (Actually, I just tell my self I will be four years more AWESOME!)

Colleen said...

Happy Birthday! I just found your blog via Sew Liberated. Your artwork is beautiful and magical. I just turned 36 on the 26th and I also quit academia during ABD status. (Sigh.)Maybe in this next year of life, I'll increase the things we have in common and become an artist too. (Fingers crossed) Blessings to you in your new year of life!

Melissa Crowe said...

Thank you, Colleen. I wish you luck with your goal, too. Keep me posted!
