My House through the years

The Newest Color of Paint

The NEW purples

and a side view. I LOVE driving up the block to see this 🙂

A horrible in-between with purple and green still needing to be painted over, this was during the painting contract from Hell.

Purple House 2007

The Purple and Blue when it was finally horribly done. (The paint contractor basically did a bad job then walked out before it was done and disappeared!)

Purple and Blue 2007

Original Colors when I bought it, with the old chain link fence too.

Beaded Journal Project Continues

Although slowly

Beaded Journal Project MAY 2009

Pictured above is MAY in progress. I did a really cool doodle at art camp in April. Then I scanned it in and printed it on fabric, now I am beading it using some new techniques I got from one of Robin’s books I ordered.

Beaded Journal Project April 2009

Pictured above is APRIL in progress. Experimenting with some different ways to make flowers. I did get to start gardening very early this year. These two months are focused on that idea.

Neither is close to being done and I still haven’t really done anything with March. Now it is already time to start June. Luckily, school is almost out and I will have lots of time to catch up on these.

HOT ~too hot for Seattle type~ HOT

Only a ~few~ areas, very, very south are hotter than us (here in Seattle) today. Even california is cooler than us right now!!!
90 degrees is a ~maybe~ once in a blue moon in AUGUST type temperature. NO ONE has air conditioners around here in their homes, we rarely need them. It is pretty unbareable. and worries me for what temperatures we will get in August this year.

All art making is on hold while I deal with heat, house painting, hurt shoulder and still trying to train for triathlon. School’s out soon so more time for everything in 2 weeks.
