This week...in Nightly Doodle land...


Lately I've been drawings and drawing and drawing! Which for me, means LOTS of time at cafes and silly conversations with boy and friends. :)

I just finished the FIRST page of my book a few days ago, which i LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I'll post the page tomorrow or the next day, and i'd LOVE to know your feedback! 
 



Lately I've been contemplating making cute handmade watercolor earrings to go with my wedding dress... But I'm not sure if i should wear something a little more detailed instead....

It's crazy to think that my wedding is less than 60 days away!! 

On Wednesday i leave for Florida for my bridal shower... considering i've never been to a bridal shower, i'm not really sure what to expect, but i'm sure it will be fun. :)


I hope you're all having a GLORIOUS start to your week!
smiles to you,
Jenipher

Motivational Monday....Tuesday....Wednesday!!

I had The BEST morning MONDAY this week!

I'm trying SO HARD to publish blog posts on time, and the funny part is that i finished Thursdays post on Monday, but not Monday's post! 

 Anyways... i spent about 4 hours at my FAVORITE cafe, drinking way TOO MUCH tea, and drawing/brain storming for Lilla's class! It was the perfect ME day!

 Today also ties in PERFECTLY with last week's 'Declaration Of You' topic; Self Care! 

Along with days like this morning i decided i really need to

* color more silly doodles, often!
* Make sure to see friends more.
* Paint my nails once a week. 
  [lets see if THAT actually happens!]


Well now that I'm posting this on Wednesday, i guess you'll get two for the price of one tomorrow! :D 
LUCKY YOU! 

 Happy Fourth of July friends!

PS: That whole wheat apple muffin was pretty yummy!

Today. Was. Glorious!



Good golly! Today has been SUCH a good day! 
This week has actually been STUPENDOUS!! So much to share...!! [I'll just post about today though.]

 This week is week one of Jenn Lee's video summit and day 3 spoke DIRECTLY to my heart! The video was with Kelly Rae Roberts & Beth Nicholls, and it was INCREDIBLE. 

Today instead of Hulu-ing, i decided to listen to a bunch of Michelle Ward's videos, which was quite exhilarating. It was seriously a great start to the day. 

^ City Reliquary // My Dream Series collection! Now sold at << ^

By 9:30am this morning i finished all of my mandatory work, and did a TON of other work before meeting boy for cookies, and reading Jessica Swift's E-book.

Between Jess's confident nature and support from my friend Margot, i did something i never thought i would! I signed up for Lilla Roger's class. AHHHH!!! 

So. Freaking. Crazy.
I was SO excited i got hiccups! 

  
After that excitement i dropped off my work at City Reliquary!!! [which NOW sells my Dream Series and some pendents Billy and I created!!!!] and then off to Dumbo for an Etsy NY team meeting. :D 

I met great friends, i got a FREE brownie after telling the guy at the West Elm cafe about my art show at Modca, and i purchased a new mini plant at a children's shop I've always wanted to go to.    

All in all, today was glorious! I feel excited for the next few weeks of my journey! :D

What's new with you?

"Monday" Motivation!

Okay...i know it's not Monday, but i had too many meetings yesterday to blog!

Coming back to NY has been a lot busier then i originally thought. Luckily, it's all been GREAT!

I've gotten a TON done, and made a bunch of progress. 


 1. worked a TON on my Etsy shops and actually got a sale on my Nightly Doodles site!

2. I got accepted into a REALLY great shop in Brooklyn! More about that in February!!
[i will tell you that it DOES involve THIS print] 
 
3. I'm going to have a solo show at Modca! My FAVORITE cafe in New York!!! [it's in June!]


^ THIS ^ 
painting is the inspiration, so in the next few months i will be painting LOADS of canvas' to make a complete collection! 


4. Last night i tried to teach myself how to draw little hands for my ASL paintings. I ACTUALLY got better the more i tried. YAY!!

Today was JUST as busy [and exciting!] but I'll share more with you later in the week.

Hooray!
What have YOU been up to?

Foodie Friday: Modca Cafe

I had a SUPER great experience at a new cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn i visited this past week. It's called Modca Cafe; the boy found it for me and I'm so thankful he did.


I ordered a coconut green tea, and he ordered a cookie for us to share before he left to go back to work. 

LOOK at those chocolate chunks!! Goodness. It was yummy. 


The atmosphere was amazing, and the artwork on the walls....INCREDIBLE!! The artist is named BD WHITE, you can see a couple of his paintings in the first image.

The minute i left i wanted to go back, and can't wait to next week! :D  


Happy Foodie Friday Friends!
