Painting With A Twist

Thanks to Kris and her generous 'Groupon' we had a lovely night of paint and wine and fun!!

Fort Worth Art Festival

As you can see- I really got in the spirit of things at the hat booth!! I love the garden decorations that turn and spin with the wind. The best part was spending time with my friend Cheryl. Hey Cheryl thanks for going to the Fort Worth Art Festival 2010!!

Painted the kitchen and dining room

I painted the kitchen and dining room to match the new counter tops and the old curtains. This is temporary. I hope to make new curtains and paint the kitchen cabinets some time this year. Then I'll probably pick a different color for the wall. I only painted the one wall that flows behind the sink and continues on into the dining room. Just one wall. Looks so great. I love a freshly painted wall. It looks so fresh and clean. I'll take a picture of the kitchen portion when I get the dishes done!!
Have a great day!!

New Coffee Pot

When we got new appliances for the kitchen, all in black glass, very classy, I wanted to get a new coffee pot. We had an old white Mr. Coffee, very functional. But no longer complimentary to the new appliances.

So the new appliances sought an alliance with none other than ----Darth Vadar!!

The old coffee pot choked out a lame good bye and Darth Vadar is on board.

The Sun Is Out!!!

I don't know why I feel like the weather has been miserable for months. It probably hasn't really been miserable that long.

But today the sun is out and the temperature right now is 73 degrees. Beautiful.

Magic likes it. Instead of being curled up in a ball somewhere he is stretched out on the window sill. Who can blame him. Move over Magic!!

Mirror for Megan

I purchased an old dresser mirror at the thrift store for $5. I primed it with craft paint because I wanted to cover it with dressmaking patterns and I knew you wouldn't be able to see the patterns on the dark wood.

At first I primed it with light colors and then decided it needed a more spectacular underpainting so I added the pink. Big mistake. That pink was impossible to tone down with the decoupaged patterns!

So I toned it down with lighter paint and here it is!! I put the knobs on the top so Megan could hang her necklaces on it if she wants to. I decided not to decoupage the knobs. Good call, I don't know. We'll see. This could continue to be a work in progress.

When we get it hung at her apartment I'll take another photo so you can see it in place.

My Favorite Christian Song

One major thing i have discovered recently is that the bible is GOD'S STORY. At first I thought of the bible as the Word of God, written by God absolutely, but also I thought of it as the story of God's people. But it is really GOD'S STORY. It is all about God and who He is and what He is like. And more specifically, about His plan for His beloved, US.

This song so clearly lists how every book of the bible is about who God is. I love it. Can't hear it enough.
