The trip out was divine. Wee-one enjoyed the feeling of wind whipping her hair and the sight of the white water. She usally hides from the elements on our journeys to the beach, but not today!
And we brought the laptop for this jaunt so I figured I would share my picnic table progress.
First [...]
I have been busy making lots of failed projects in the past few days. Today I struggled with Toy Box, only to scrap my work after I began to write a post about how unhappy I was with what I had done. I think I know how to fix that mess though.
Then I [...]
I just finished my post-beach ritual of take-out and television on the couch with my husband. Now I can write.
I spent the weekend at the beach which meant I spent time prettying up my plain Ikea pint-sized picnic table.
I used the butterfly stencil to paint two butterflies. In the end, they looked like [...]
For $9.99 I picked up a solid wood Ikea picnic table for wee-one. (Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the table as is. I will try to remember to take a before when I am at the beach.)
Despite the fact that wee-one is too wee for the table, I want to paint the [...]
As I sit here blogging, eating my stress in the form of a Peppermint Patty, and watching Tori and Dean freak out about preschool, I realize that as with my old normal, my new normal still presents me with logistical problems. This week it is damn near impossible for me to set enough time [...]
I had grand visions for post number 101. It was going to be exciting and filled with pictures of a completed giveaway item (toy box) and the accompanying text was going to be profound. Then there was a heatwave, a teething baby, and a major leak due to a completely rusted through [...]
I started this blog during February 2008, at the tail end of “Thing-a-Day 2,” in order to ensure that I continued to include creative activities in my everyday life.
I incorporated this new habit of daily creative activity at a time in my life when everything was in a state of constant upheaval. This new [...]
I often find myself in SoHo. I am usually running an errand when I am there. I take the subway to Spring Street and Sixth Avenue and then I walk east on the north side of the street. But today was hot and I had over two hours to kill. I walked [...]
Sorry for my long weekends lately – but it is summer time which means playtime away from the computer! I have been visiting with friends and family, coming up with outdoor fun for me and wee-one, and going out for ice cream as much as possible. I have always loved summer!
But today is muggy [...]
I am posting from my balcony tonight. There is nothing quite like relaxing with a glass of wine outside on a beautiful summer night (if you can call blogging with baby monitor and telephone nearby relaxing).
I am struggling a bit with some of the space in my box and with my bum knee so [...]
