Summer Part 4

The summer has come to an end and with it comes the prospect of school once more. My bags are packed, boxes shipped and all in all I'm ready to go back. I've had a pretty good summer, but I can't say its been my best. I'm excited to see friends again and get back to work. But before I do here is what I was up to these last few weeks.

I've been doing some embroidery, which has been really fun.

We had a final big sleepover with Elizabeth, Ventana, My, Zola and I. We decided, as has kind of become tradition, to make a music video where we pretend to be in a boy band. It was loads of fun! We watched movies, ate delicious food and cookies and talked a bunch. I'll miss them all.

I got to see Hannah again briefly before she left for her first year at Lewis and Clark!

Elizabeth, Levi and I went to LACMA with our old art teacher Dana. He was such a great teacher and we thought it would be fun to wander around a museum together and hear about the art. We weren't disappointed. It was super fun!

We visited Brad and Chira's sister and husbands house in Malibu which was really lovely and fun.
 
I had a wonderful little picnic with My. We ate yummy food and lounged about on the grass.
Mo I'm here at school now, and all settled in! I'll do a blog post about everything here soon!
 

Summer Part 2

These past few weeks have been going much faster than the first part of the summer! So much has been going on! 

Marina and her friend Maddy came to visit which was really wonderful! We went to the beach, but it was raining. It was really lovely to see them! 

I hung out with Levi and Elizabeth one day which was super. We went swimming, ate delicious Chinese food and watched Lost in Translation. It was great!

I've been spending loads of time with Kyle. We've been reading together and going on adventures. Its been great!

Joey Weitz and Wyatt through a kind of music festival at Joey's house. It was fun to see everyone and listen to Joey's new band. Photos by Heather and I. 

My and I had a bit of a sewing adventure. We made tailored blouses! I loved the sunflower pattern and I'm very happy with my new shirt!

One really exciting thing that happened this past week was the arrival of Rookie Magazine in LA. Rookie is an online magazine which My and I read so it was really exciting to have them here and hosting a bunch of events. The first was the opening party! My and I dressed very 60's. We got to meet the whole gang, Tavi, Petra, Anna and Hazel. It was really amazing to meet Tavi because I've been reading her blog for so many years now. It's really unbelievable what she's accomplished. I made little watercolor portraits of them all, and they all loved them! It was really a blast!

The other event we went to was the flower crown making party! It was really fun although they ran out of flowers and headbands pretty quickly! My and I made a new friend named Justine who was really cool! She made a little flower bracelet with a cute sheep on it!

Mom, Dad and I made some homemade pizza the other night which was really yummy!

Izzy, her friend Kendall, and I went on a really beautiful hike in the Angeles Crest Forest the other day! It was so pretty!! We met up with Kyle later and played some rounds of speed scrabble!

On Wednesday my boyfriend, Walker, who's on tour with his band, came into tour for a few days. They all stayed with Kyle and we all had such fun. We went to a bunch of record stores, saw them play and had some fun with Kyle's dogs. It was such a wonderful few days.
