Here she goes again
I kept meaning to come on here to blog an update of my life but I've been busy, as I mentioned I would be and when I'm not busy, all I want to do is pass out on our mattress. Which is the only furniture minus the TV and computer that are still in our home. Everything else is officially in storage. Whew. Kinda awkward typing on the floor of our kitchen but it's better than before when I was typing while sitting on top of my cat's scratching post. Yup, good times.
Before everything was packed up though I did manage to squeeze in some time to paint a picture of a calla lily. It is the first painting I have completed in about two and a half years. I've started paintings but never finished. I am an extremely impatient person who hates waiting for the layers to dry and if I can't get a HUGE chunk of the painting done in the first twelve hours, I will very likely not finish it. But I did I did! And I really like it. No, its not my finest and I know it is absolutely no where near fine art but for me, for the amount that I do paint, I'm happy. :)
Lyndon and I checked out the flea market last Sunday and for the first time in the several times we've been, I found something I liked! There was a set of modern, aluminum candle holders just sitting by their lonesome on a table full of crap. $8! I knew I had to have them and we managed to get them down a dollar (we aren't barterers...) I don't really need another pair of candle holders but at that price and the design... I mean, I can put them anywhere! Most likely they will end up in the master bedroom or bathroom... I've seen holders similar to this at Urban Barn for $30+ and that is just for the one! So, yeah, I was happy :)
I don't have photos uploaded yet but we also recently purchased two candle wall sconces that we are hoping we can use outside but if not they will work just as nicely beside the fireplace. $19 each at Bombay.... I was very pleased with the price. I also attempted to buy a mirror that was on for 50% off but Lyndon somehow decided it was gaudy (even though it would have been fabulous with the design I am aiming to achieve in the master bedroom)... but he did have a point that it might be just a smidge too large for the room. It would fit the wall size perfectly but not the room itself, if that makes sense. The master is sadly not the biggest so the mirror might just dwarf everything else. Oh well, I will continue my search, find something more modern for the hubby and better fitting for the size of the room ;)
Okay. I've had enough rambling for the night. My stomach is killing me and it's been a long day at work. I need sleep. Actually, what I really want to do is throw a movie on and not think for a little while buuut guess where my dvd collection is? This moving business kinda sucks right now. :\
Cheers!
