redecorating
I’m not usually one for rearranging or reorganizing often, lately, my office has been the exception to the rule. I’ve been on a quest to create a calm fantastical space for myself to create in, and for guests to sleep in. I’ve found that with the addition of new furniture (bookshelf, futon, chest) comes new…

LOTR (and stuff)
It’s weird, blogging almost daily and then not touching it for several days. I was missing it this morning, but didn’t really have time to sit down and write until now. The last few days have been full of fun adventures (and the exhaustion that inevitably follows, tomorrow I’ll probably sleep in late). So, earlier…

Yarn Balloons
Today I just wanted to watch a movie and do some crocheting. A while ago, I made a hot air balloon, and today, I made another one. This one is a little more frilly and whimsical…and pink..and purple. I took a picture of them both side-by-side. Now, all that’s left is to find a place…

How to Make a Disaster (and then do something with it)
Yesterday, I spent all afternoon making a paper chain of rainbow hearts to put over the office door. Kind of like the bead things, but cheaper, because I had paper,markers, super glue and string. It looked fantastic I don’t know whether to blame the cat or the slightly open window for the chain-turned-distaster last night,…

Anniversary Leave
Our 2nd anniversary is on Memorial day, so I probably won’t be posting until Tuesday. Today was warm, really warm – we might put in our AC soon – although now it’s drastically cooling down and we’re under a severe thunderstorm watch, so I’m almost shivering. I didn’t paint anything today, but I did exercise…

Plein Air fun
Today was warm and sunny so when I woke up I decided I wanted to try to paint outside at the top of my steps. I’m hoping to be able to do some Plein Air paintings during vacation this year too, so I figured I might as well try it in a more controlled environment…

Energy Spurts
Occasionally I get on this kick where I update everything, yesterday was one of those days. I added my two most recent paintings to etsy and then updated the pricing, shipping, and display pictures (now they’re all uniform) to all the paintings in my shop. The internet didn’t seem to like etsy, so it took…

Sluggish
I thought I was tired yesterday. I’m beginning to think that I need the sun to like, live and stuff. I can’t seem to muster up the energy to do much of anything. I did play World of Warcraft until the lag or connection or something overtook it and I was wandering around Azshara waiting…

Magic (or, I can make faces!)
Today, I finally played some WoW, leveled and then started painting. With my tiny new brushes, I can make faces!!!! in watercolor (and acrylics, but still)! I’m very excited. I realized something today, I have a lot of projects going on (in my head) and I need to figure out how to do them all…

I'm Better!
I’m so close to being back to normal, I’m really happy. Today I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and walked to the library to take out the Half Blood Prince, and then reserved the Deathly Hallows (on CD!). Can’t wait to finish the series, honestly. It’s moving and hits something that…
