Okay so I don’t know if it’s because its gotten a little chilly and wet outside, and thus I’ve been using noxious chemicals without proper ventilation, but I feel a little down. More of the same, nothing that interesting to blog about, save refinishing furniture, which isn’t really that interesting: strip, sand, curse, sand, burn …

Weekend Recap
She got to see my place and she loved it! She said it looks bigger in real life. And in case you were wondering the main floor is 1180 square feet. The basement is about 900 square feet. So I feel like it’s pretty big. I mean I’m probably like only what, 9 square feet? …
Backtracking
Good things happen, then bad things happen, then mistakes happen, then it rains. You know, but you live with it. And actually I’m very happy about things today, despite the chill in the air. The basement is done, I mean all the water proofing is done. I got a bit of shock when they said …
Take a deep breath… and GO
Whoa, talk about a tiring and crazy last 72 hours, I am beat, and so wanting to take a break and watch those last two Veronica Mars episodes I’ve been saving. First things first, so who won right? Well my brother was unavailable at the moment I needed some one to draw, so I had …
One more Happy Thing
Oh man, how cute is this? Amber’s little girl Georgia in the hat I made her when she was itty bitty. It is completely ridiculous of course with the novelty yarn, but I love it.
Like an Elephant
I bet you think I forgot, but I didn’t.

My impartial brother will be drawing from the eligible names written on exactly the same size papers. …
Halfway?
I find that it’s very easy with a blog to show nice pictures of nice things. Who wants to see how bad it can get right? We all want the pretty, the daydream of how things will stay. My friends things are out of control at my cottage and I’m not afraid to say it. …
Miss Soco
While the beginnings of my art training started young with my mom cooking up projects, and awesome grade school teachers, the real fun began in high school. Ms. Socolofsky (or Miss Soco as we all called her) was my new mixed media teacher. My friend Erin and I were in a bunch of her classes …
Rummage
So I’ve been working like crazy on the house, yes I know, shocking but true. My dad told me the other day that I need to "hurry and get done" so I could get it appraised. I totally flipped out on him and started crying over the phone and finally replied with a, "I’m spending …
The Backyard
I don’t really focus much on my yard because, well, I’ve kinda let it go… a lot. As in not watered it once since signing the papers for the place. I’m not lying when I say I didn’t want to waste the water. I knew it wouldn’t be lush and green, and dumping water on …
