Murray Designs

Today’s watercolor is a little different- florals painted with realistic Procreate brushes by … it’s a waterless watercolor! These brushes are lovely and create a watercolor effect better than any Procreate brushes I’ve used. But, I don’t think I can give up my actual brush and paint sketches yet.

Nobody has their own workspace in our house anymore, and the piles of homework and crafts and projects and books just keep growing on every single surface...so I made my to show a happy pretend workspace filled with a few of my favorites. A plant, my paints, Sudoku, coffee, a sweet treat, real mail, and Catan Junior. Have you played it? I love a game that kids and grown ups can both enjoy.

In February I was given a jar of sourdough starter from a dear first grader’s science fair project and instructions about feeding it daily, like a new pet that would live in my pantry. And now it has become a Murray family addiction... dozens upon dozens of loaves. Really it’s a great quarantine food— 3 simple ingredients (sometimes we throw in wheat and flax seed) and feels like an authentic, old world way to make bread. Since then, we’ve given away 4 of our own starter jars to spread the sourdough ❤️(and because I cannot bring myself to throw away the discard).
