The Finished Dresser
Posted on July 31, 2008 - Filed Under Crafty | 3 Comments
Ok, I did it! We got enough sunshine to make painting the rest of the stars on the dresser possible!
Dorian thinks it needs more stars. I told him there will be plenty more in his room as soon as we have the money to paint it. lol. BTW, the other drawer is behind the dresser. [...]
Rabbit is Winning Hearts
Posted on July 31, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 2 Comments
So, when Rabbit the cat first showed up, Irving was not impressed. He claimed he hates cats (though I think he`d never seen one up close before) and is a dog person. Fine. He finally, reluctantly agreed we could keep the kitten if I gave it a flea bath.
But Rabbit has been making his [...]

We Have a Cat . . . and a Name
Posted on July 29, 2008 - Filed Under Fun, Kids | 2 Comments
So, we asked around. The kitten doesn`t seem to belong to anyone in the area and we have no clue where it came from. Not a problem . . . he (I checked last night) has a home with us.
Today, the kitten will get a flea bath and we`re all set to go. He [...]
We Have the Cutest Visitor EVER!
Posted on July 28, 2008 - Filed Under Fun, Kids | 4 Comments
Today, I looked out the door and saw a tiny kitten in the yard, just sitting there, looking at us. I pointed it out to Dorian and he immediately wanted to go see it. We approached cautiously and to my surprise, the kitten was happy to see us and very friendly.
The boys instantly were [...]
Fun in the Sun

It`s been really sunny out today, so I took a bunch of photos of Dorian playing outside and when Dante and Irving came back from Antigua, I got these ones of the two of them.
I absolutely LOVE these pictures. You can bet one or more of them is going to end up on my wall!
I Need a Craft Room
Posted on July 25, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | Leave a Comment
Really, I do. I was already tired of having to paint on the kitchen countertop, with my painting leaning against the wall, but this morning was the straw that broke the camel`s back.
Irving recently cleaned our room. He took his stereo from the living room, booted my sewing machine from its table and stuck it [...]
So I Mucked Around Some More . . .
Posted on July 24, 2008 - Filed Under Crafty, Personal | 2 Comments
So I mucked around a bit more with the painting and I`m seriously getting attached to the kid! Still not happy with the dog, but it might be salvageable . . . Irving wants to frame it, so that`s good, I suppose.
So, here is Stage 2 of Puppy Love . . . still not done, [...]
Rusty Skills

So, I posted a couple days ago about how I`m working on this new painting . . . it`s not going well.
I`ve never painted animals before and now I`m mad at myself for trying. Especially since I have the little boy almost to the point where he`s done and now the dumb dog looks like [...]
Works In Progress

Not sure what`s going on with me these days, but I seem to be starting a lot of projects and jumping between them! Here are the two most prominent . . .
The boys` dresser, which was plain wood before. I painted it turquoise (the color just WON`T come out right in the pic, it`s way [...]
