My new monster Joey the Alien

Image
I have been having the luckiest week.. winning more than a few giveaways and threadkillers. Yippee.. so I'm expecting many little surprises in the mail over the next few days. The first one just arrived the other day and he has been an absolute delight. I know you're wondering about the 'he,' well he is Joey, an adorable little red alien courtesy of EmmysBoosAndRawrs Here he is just hanging out at his new home. We're still getting his room together though and his little friend is still months from arriving, so life at my place may seem a little slow right now. But before he knows it time will fly by and he won't have a moment to spare with all the fun he'll be having with his new friend. Till then we'll just relax! I just want to thank Emmy for the wonderful Joey. Pictures don't do him justice, he is cuter that I had ever imagined and he's part of the family now.

The Week in Review..

Image
This week has been all rainy, gloomy and now snowy.. is an end to winter to much to ask? Can't we just have spring already. I have also been follwing the Olympics with great interest. So happy for all the US wins. In photography news I have been a very busy bee. I am trying to list a new photograph everyday on Etsy, minus weekends. And I have so many photographs waiting to be uploaded, some need editing, some just awaiting a name.. This week I uploaded four new photographs and in the process also found my new favorite photograph, which I will save for the end. The first Pomegranate Flowers taken in the fabulous Atlantis Resort, Bahamas. This one I took on the streets of Amsterdam Scribbled Art This one was taken in Barcelona at the beautiful Gaudi Park hence the name Colors of Gaudi And lastly, my new favorite photograph, one I discovered I could stare at for minutes on end. It was taken in Venice and has become a love of mine Murky Light Well that was my week and I

Two more new listings and a sale!

I can say this without a doubt, the best way to wake up is to a sale. There's a flutter in your stomach, a smile on your face and in your heart, never outloud you quote Sally Field and say 'You like me, you really like me' or my work that is. And it never gets old. I have not yet, nor hope to ever be jaded enough to say.. 'hmm another sale, whatever' I was lucky enough to wake up to that fluttering feeling today. I sold a greeting card of one of my photographs Islamic Pattern I also listed two new photographs in my Etsy Shop Metal Petals                                                  Mosaic

Our First Makeover

Image
My husband and I are huge fans of HGTV and watch in awe as rooms are tranformed, we are even more mesmerized when old furniture is tranformed into something completely new with just a splash of paint. We always wish we could do it but the fact of the matter is we never have the time. A few months ago we came across the cutest little desk on Craigslist being sold for no more $15, yes you read right $15! It was an offer to good to resist and the desk was in a pretty decent condition, perfect for our first makeover effort. The top of the desk had quite a bumpy texture and a few other nicks here and there which we sanded away and then used a woodfiller to smoothen out the surface. It was a job we could have easily accomplished over two weekends but with our crazy schedules it took us a few months to get the job done. We used some left over paint from previous projects and bought some new hardware and bought a paint sample to use to paint them. And wahla! For now this will
