T stands for Tuesday…you know what that means…I’m linking up at Elizabeth’s blog for our weekly virtual tea party.
I’ve got my snack…how about you?
Just look at the size of that Mammoth muffin from Perkins. No affiliation…my kids just love the place. We went out with my mom and I skipped the toast and brought home a little bit of sin. Now that my muffin is out of my mug I can enjoy a bit of coffee with my sin.
Last week for T Tuesday…on Wednesday I mentioned I would be sharing some news. I finally got an interview for a position I applied for about 7 weeks ago. Sadly, I didn’t get the job. Not the news I was hoping to share but I guess it wasn’t the right place for me right now. That’s ok…I’m still subbing and this way I have a lot more flexibity.
Over the weekend I started cleaning up my crazy workspace…only to get sucked into art journaling. I saw that nice empty space and there is just some sick need of mine to immediately fill it with something. I got called away from creating and cleaning for that matter when it was decided that it was time to do some rearranging of the house.
I executed some fish gave our fish a whirlpool ride…then took down the aquarium. It was sitting on a desk that would be much better served as a homework station than supporter of several hundred pounds of water.
In its place we put a much smaller antique desk that holds misc game supplies such as cards, dice, paper and pens. Since this is in our game area we decided to group some vintage toys and games to fit with the theme. The mason jar is filled with random bits and pieces from old games.
The other desk went into Little J’s room…where the antique one had resided previously. But we still were not done with organizing…
Little Js room has this very awkward space that is about 4ft off the floor. The space has always been a collector of crap junk treasures. While measuring for the desk we realized that one of these 9 hole cubbies would fit perfectly in the opening. We left the back off the bottom three squares since there is still a good 2.5ft behind it…just in case stuff fell behind, we’d be able to retrieve it. Look…someone has her own clubhouse now…
I’m not entirely sure what my plans for the day are but I do know I’ll be checking out the other T stands for Tuesday posts. :)
What are you doing today?
Yesterday I had mentioned that I’d been painting a lot. In fact I was almost late for my study group because I lost track of time.
This one I call Heartstrings. It didn’t come out exactly like I had in my head but I still really like it. It’s on a 12×12 canvas. There are many layers and lots of texture.
This is the one that had me almost running late yesterday. I hadn’t intended on an abstract landscape but that’s how it ended up. This is a 6×6 deep edge canvas. I picked up a 4 pack at Micheal’s last week. It’s a perfect size for me.
This is my favorite. I call it Bold Intentions. I used a palette knife to create the red drag marks down the left.
