Today we woke up to a "Picker Sisters" marathon...got inspired and started creating...or should I say, re-creating. We took a color sample from a clock we have in our living room..."Dream Maker" blue...and started painting.

• We had a large gold ornate frame that we started with...we tried color washing it with "Dream Maker", but that didn't work, so we painted it in full...made it much more impactful.

• We also took some frames we had...repainted...and will repurpose on our stair-case wall with black and white photos of the kids.

• Thanks to our good friends, the Heinrichs, we were given an old window frame that we color washed with "Dream Maker". It'll make for a great focal piece on the stair-case wall of photos...

• Finished up with painting our dining room chandelier in "Dream Maker" as well...this really ties in with all the elements and just rocks!

Knocking out these projects...along with a few other small fix'ns...we feel it was a good productive, creative day. It wasn't rocket science, but it felt good and is refreshing! Now we're finishing up watching the last recorded "Picker Sisters"...thinking of our next project...and not looking forward to work tomorrow...but we're hang'n in there...

Start of the day...4AM

Here's how my day started this morning...at 4am. Due to storms rolling in, Ellie May woke up and needed to go out...so I grabbed the umbrella and headed out with her. Her first rain pee/poop break was spent staring up at me probably wondering, "what in the world is going on and how could you have me out in this?" Needless to say, she didn't do her business...outside at least...she immediately came in and found a nice dry spot in the house...beautiful. So, the rain is nice, but now I'm tired...and barely hang'n in there...

THE DOODLE CLUB...7.20.11

Here's a couple doodles I did today during my weekly Wednesday morning drinks, discussions and doodles time with Brian and Huck.

"coffee stain" started when my finger dipped into my coffee and accidentally made a stain on my paper...i stained it some more...then saw the nose/eyes/mouth portion...sketched it out and proceeded to extra-dip my finger to color it in a bit.

"i survived the doodle club" came about as Brian sketched a poster for "The Doodle Club" playing off of the "The Fight Club" movie..."The Doodle Club" is rough goin, but I'm hang'n in there...
