Ahh, Mercury retrograde. I can always feel it immediately. Things just don’t seem to move forward easily at all, starting new projects is a complete nightmare, things break (especially electronics). In fact, as I started to write this post, I discovered that our refrigerator stopped working…bye, bye brand new block of Beecher’s cheese that I just bought. Go figure!

Anyway, I have decided I’m going to spend this month working on developing those tips and tutorials I talked about sharing, so I can take some time to refine the content and present them in the best way possible. March is looking like it’s going to be a wild ride…so taking one thing at a time seems like a smart move.

This is a photo I took of a glass; it came out looking really abstract and cool to begin with, and I went to town editing until it ended up looking like what you see above. I have been really into arty photography lately, especially still life and more conceptual pieces like this. I find it very soothing (and fun!) to take a seemingly ordinary photo through a series of manipulations…always yields interesting results.

Love this. Wish I didn’t know about mercury in retrograde, though haha. Now I’m sure to run into all kinds of problems.

Mercury Retrograde is THE WORST! And yes, please tips and tutorials – I’d love to get a little more in your brain :)

Also, miss seeing you on the insta, but it just makes me pay more attention to your blog and then get to see your pretty images and words here :)

ugh… freaking mercury, man. it can be a real biotch. ;) i think every single one of my electronics has gone bonkers, and trying to get anything accomplished? it’s like running into a wall. repeatedly. (not to mention, i always feel SO out of sorts and headache-y during retrograde!) here’s hoping things calm down, and that you get your fridge problems sorted out! cheese is an especially tough loss when it comes to food… haha.

xoxo.

Oh I hear you, my friend…the whole mercury retrograde thing is nasty…especially when it’s your ruling sign. Bleh. Fortunately we got the fridge sorted out. And I got more cheese!

I hope you’re doing well – have a great weekend! xo!
