I have been trying to catch up on my blog reading. I was so far behind it was embarrassing. So, I decided that I wouldn’t blog until I had read every single one. I just didn’t think it towould take three weeks. Of course, absolutely gorgeous weather didn’t help either. Plus we’ve been painting and moving stuff around.
Painting sucks. Tea helps.
Blue tape is a good thing. Avery good thing. Did you notice the pink wall? My husband picked it out.
Here we have the perfect painting chair. You can scoot all around the room and never get up.
After painting I got to finish my luggage tags.
I couldn’t decide which design I liked the best so I made four.
I settled on these two. I really don’t care for these big clips, but it was all I had. There’s one for my suitcase and one for my big tote bag. It’s big enough to carry prescriptions, knitting, camera, undies, iPod and other little necessities including my purse.
The house really looks good. I want to thank my daughter for finding good people to do the job. The pompom tree on the side yard is very overgrown, but it completely hides the idiot’s porch next door. I’m afraid I’m going to have to call the county on him again. The hydrangea on that side don’t look very good. They aren’t getting much sun. I think I’ll have them moved to the front this fall. It’s looking a little bare since I had the big holly tree removed.
I was standing on the front porch when I saw a small pile of tiny black pellets by one of the shutters. I slowly pulled it back and there was the bat. I slowly closed it and got my camera. See? He’s smiling just for me. I think we’ve always had bats in our attic. For a few weeks in the fall and spring, they’d be coming in as I was leaving for work. I liked to watch them trying to get into the tiny slot. I missed the train more than once. Bats are so cool! Whenever we go to the DC zoo, I always go to the bat house.

The tan and grey stuff is from an Einstein jacket that I made as a sample for someone. The sweater was boring and so was the color so I dressed it up using Nicky Epstein’s embellishment book. I’ll dig it out one of these days and cut off about a foot of the bottom. I don’t like wearing anything that long. I also need to take that stupid hat at the bottom of the picture apart.
I took this through the window that I am probably going to have to paint around. Later, she decided to help with the painting.
