GIRLS NIGHT: PAINTING

I’m slowly figuring out our new “normal”, fitting our old life into this new life with a baby. It’s certainly taking time to make it all work and I suspect it will keep changing, but no matter what I know that I need to be sure I’m giving myself some time to just be with friends. As much as I want to spend every minute with Jack, I need to have some baby-free time, outside of work. 
Last week my friends invited me out to a Corks and Canvas event at Kiln N Time in Lawrenceville. I’ve heard all about these painting nights on Instagram and Facebook, and I was eager to go to one myself! 
I was a bit intimidated about painting, but it turned out to be so easy and fun! Our instructor explained the painting step by step and we just followed along, attempting our own works of art. I know it’s a bit cheesy having a Pittsburgh version of Van Gogh but I really love it and the Ginger said he’d hang it in his office at work! 
It was so relaxing to have a glass of Sweet Red wine, hang out with friends and pretend that I can paint. I can’t wait to go back again. Next time I’m taking my mom and sister! It also inspired me to start a Pinterest craft night. Hopefully once a month my friends and I will work on a craft that we’ve pinned.
