Seen outside of a law office

No wonder I had so much trouble finding a job. I should have been driving around looking for help wanted ads.

Outside of the house

Forgot the most important image! The front of the house.

We moved the pumpkin outside .

And here's the back view- the left side is the living room.

House as of today

I thought you might want to see some of the house from the inside. First is the living room. The above picture is looking towards the backyard/porch. The furniture is all oddly placed because I have been painting. The left side is the original color (green/khaki)- the right side is the new color more of a gold/brown (Sherwin Williams 6123 Baguette). The trim is 6119 (antique white) and the ceiling (not painted yet- will be 6121 whole wheat)

Turning around you can see the front of the house. The blue paper on the wall is a congratulations card Hillary and Isabella made for us. The shiny bit is an image of a ring.

To the right side you can just see the window on the left side of the door. We'll just walk up the stairs and look down on the front door.

I've been learning how to patch drywall. The poster is... well I don't know what to say about the poster to be honest. :) To the right of the entryway you see the door to the dining room.

We got the pumpkin a bit early. It's been fun to have it lit up, but I'm not really sure it's going to last until Halloween. On the table are some lovely candlesticks that we received as well as some lovely pottery and things. Turning to the back of the room is the entrance to the kitchen.

To the right of that counter is the hallway to the living room and we've covered the whole downstairs.

Well, except for the garage- we very proudly hung a peg board yesterday. It's right beside the door into the kitchen (bit difficult to see)

There is still a bit to go on organizing the garage. But this lets you see a bit of the front yard/driveway.

So that covers the downstairs.

Next we'll do the upstairs.

Pillow- sewing again

I've been trying to work on some more projects. I found this wheel of fabric (jellies? they were called maybe?) So thought it looked like a nice project. The official estimated time was 3 hrs. I blew past that hours ago. There are 32 individual pieces of fabric in that center panel. Just need to stuff and close opening.



and the back side.

Being a little crafty

I love fabric. I walk through the fabric store and think how wonderful it would be if I could figure out what to do with all this fabric (I'm not much of a sewer). I also have a number of pins that I don't really wear anymore (the 90's and the suits in my life have ended). Martha Stewart has this fabric covered bulletin board she does so I thought I could try that. The item on the left is an emtpy picture frame. The one on the right is cork over canvas.

Tree Trimming

Trimming has started, the arborist is wearing a green shirt. :


Shredding

Last one- still not 100% changed

Found objects

I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing. Am I staying here, leaving? I have these boxes that have moved with me. Some are from 4 places ago, some just from Jan of 2007. I decided that I have to unpack them (even if I'm just going to pack them up again). So I found these little things my mother made for me when I was a kid.



The top left hand- is Sunshine. She was the chocolate poodle I got when I was about 8 years old.
The bottom right- I didn't have a duck. It's just something my mom made for me.

The frames were gold and chipping- I painted it with silver paint. The tiles are from a potter in Shelbourne Falls.
