This weekend, I painted vertical stripes to create a focal point in the dining room, my fourth task of the 10 in 10 challenge hosted by The Shabby Chic Cottage. I used paint colors I already had, incorporating the surrounding wall and ceiling colors. I used the vertical lines of the faux paneling(certainly not my [...]
Father’s Day, like Mother’s day, are low key days for our familly. I cook on his day and he cooks on mine (nothing unusual since Sunday is his cooking day anyway), followed by a small gift or two. For us, it’s more about bonding as a family so we look forward to quiet celebrations at [...]
The Renegade Craft Fair is this weekend at McClarren Park in Brooklyn. . I went last year and enjoy all the handmade eye candy. I can’t wait to go and hope the weather cooperates. There is rain in the forecast. If you live in the area, it’s worth a visit.

and take in all the sounds
So that when Sunday eve comes
You will be happy to hum
Your favorite tune
As Monday approaches, much too [...]

The weekend is here! Happy Friday! As usual, I have a long list of things to do – to many to get done in one weekend. Do you find yourself doing that? Making long unrealistic “to do” lists. Trying to cram in too many things in a small amount of time to the point where [...]
