the after christmas tales...


So this year for christmas Aaron and I got each other a new couch...LOL Dang it!!!!! I"m officially a grown up now. CRAP... how did that happen?

Anyway we really love the new sectional it's so comfy and soft. It has recliners on both ends so it's very nice I can sit back on one end and read a book or mag with the little light the bends over me and the Big A can watch tv in the almost dark like he likes. It's a win win!!

The curtains in the background I found at Pier 1 but I'm going to find a Red sash kinda thing for over the top and hanging down on the sides. The big green pillow will be covered as soon as I find the right color of fabric. I'm looking for a red. The color scheme will be Tan, chocolate brown,Red and A hint of Gold .
I know you are saying well what are you going to do about the horrible BLUE carpet That totally doesn't work? Well the plan is to not be in this house for too much longer and all of these new things will move with us to the new place. But I do have a plan for the mean time. I'm currently on the search for a large area rug to go in front of the couch area. Then I need to finish painting some more art work for the walls .

Here is one of the ones I 've finished to go with the new scheme of things. The picture doesn't really show off the full effect of the painting. I used a bronze metallic type of paint for the Treble clef and the dots on the painting so they kinda shine.

This last picture is of our cat Lenny on the day they delivered the couch. The old couch was kinda Ozzie's domain and Lenny never really got too comfy on it or OZ would have something to say about it!! hee hee But Lenny has staked his claim on this new couch. the arm that he is sitting on in this picture that is where I find him sleeping when I get home in the evenings. He is so cute some times I can't even stand it. LOL!!!

We are going to be getting a new kitten next weekend. Lenny has seemed to be bored and kinda lonely so I'm hoping this will be a good thing for him. And maybe...just maybe... he'll stop waking us up at 5 in the morning with his sad little howls...

keep your fingers crossed I'll let ya know how it goes.

So I've been meaning to blog for the longest time but... I keep finding other things to do since writing is not one of my favorite creative endeavors. It's one of the things I push to the back burner. With that said I do however like the way this blog allows me to share parts of my life with family and friends who don't live here by me. So.... to the left the scrapbook page is my intro to our newest family member "Jeff the god of biscuits" Jeff for short! Isn't he just the cutest? He's definantly still a kitten because he is still a little wild man...I'd forgotten how wild kittens really are!!!LOL :) But he's also so cuddly when he's tired. Also there are 2 new "People" members or our extended family one on my side of the house (my cousin amanda's 1st baby)and one on Aaron's side (his brother's new baby) they were born a week apart. The picture with me in red is of my Cousin amanda's new baby Addison Kaye she wa...

I've been busy creating today....

I've been very inspired by all things colorful and bold... But while loving the idea of oil painting and such I by nature can't really be comfortable trying to create a Realistic piece. So as I was visiting Elsie Flannigan's blog and then her Flickr site it hit me... I shouldn't even try to do realistic things with paint I should just stick with the cartoon-ish and whimsical things!!!Because those things flow out of me without having to learn a whole new style. Well then I went into my Room of goodness(otherwise known as my scrapping/craftroom)LOL and I got some acrylic pain ts and sketched a quick drawing then got down to it... this is what I made today.... A Big huge mess....haahaha...No no just kidding. Here is the real thing The picture is of me and Aaron and our 2 cats and the fictional house That we'll have some day soon. I used just regular acrylic paints like the ones you can buy for like 60 cents a piece at craft stores. It's painted on regular canva...
