Looking back on happier times

This was my little franknprada. She was always the happiest part of my day no matter what. I think of her often and miss her more. I was going to edit this picture but this is one memory I want to keep just the way it is.

A Litte Light...

I wish I could just fast forward ahead a few months. I know I will look back and admire the process someday. For right now everything just feels like it is moving in slow motion allowing me to painfully agonize over every little thing. I need to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I need that glimmer of hope.

 

 

By Leonard Cohen

 I found this quote here.



Mmm. . .

I love pizza. Especially when it is homemade. I usually go for just cheese but these veggies just look so good. Can't wait to eat.

So, this is a very old post that I found in my draft folder. I'm sure I had intentions of adding more to it or changing it in some way. When I look at it now it has such a different effect on me. Then it was just the day-to-day happy stuff that went on in my household. It also reminds me how I used to put so much into cutting up the vegetables. A family friend calls it salad therapy. It makes you kind of slow down and live in the moment. Now, it reminds me of how different my life is and how different my life will be. I just read a quote that I think I will apply to this post:

“Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it. ~Marianne Williamson”

With that I say goodbye to the days of homemade pizza.
 

Logo Inspiration

 

I made this picture last year for my sister to hang in her office. Now, I am redesigning her logo and need some inspiration. Hopefully this will help. I found some old drafts for posts that somehow fell through the cracks. Please take note that the next few posts will be a little dated for me but at least they will be new for you. 

Little Vera and her Blue Moose

My little monster with her best buddy Blue Moose (it's really a hippo but she doesn't know the difference). I wish life could stay just like it is in this picture. A happy little puppy snuggling with her friend by my side.

home decor project

We recently moved and our new place didn't have any blinds. So what did I do? I bought curtain sheers that were too long. Why, you say, didn't I buy the correct size especially when the store had them in stock.

Well, you see the longer ones were on sale. I couldn't bring myself to pay more for less. I was obviously not taking into account that my time has to be worth something.

I also figured I could use the leftover fabric for another project. So we moved in and we were busy so we just hung them to get them out of the way for the time being. Then I started to think that we could just leave them at the length that they are.

Then I realized that this monster likes to get caught up in the extra fabric. Now here I am shortening curtains.

 

A little cutting, a little ironing and a little sewing and voila! Curtains that are no longer

too long. 

Falling in Love

I just found this really fabulous book. I don't normally look in the home decor section but I did and there it was with all of it's wonderful goodness.

Lots of inspiration, images and projects. I can't wait to try out some of the techniques.
