A Great Day in November

For a long time it was dark and rainy, but today a little below zero and the glorious sunshine! I got to spend the whole day painting a one-page artwork for my next book. I got to use bright watercolors and explore the delicate baby-topic.

And when the work day was done, I immediately went for a run, and afterwards enjoyed a hot, eucalyptus-scented sauna. When it's really dark and cold, like in November, I miss the comforting flavors and fragrances, and the candlelight. In the evenings I crochet, read novels, and browse art books under a warming blanket.

11 is my lucky number. Today it's November 11th. Have a nice, lyrical, cozy week!
