Text of the page (random words):
ls here to goof off and have fun in my excitement i completely forgot to take photos but layla wanted a few pics of my signs so we snapped the one below and she generously let me borrow it for this blog post thanks layla one thing among myriads of things that i appreciate about layla is that you get what you see with her if you ve read her blog you can feel just how sweet compassionate funny and down to earth she comes across and she is exactly the same in person she didn t give our unfinished projects here a second thought even though she had to sleep in my daughters very undecorated and unremodeled shell of a bedroom and even though i don t have curtains or any kind of window covering in much of the house and even though it took me forever to get ready whenever we went out because before she got here i shoved a bunch of clothes into the closet in a massive pile and couldn t find anything and even though i threw a whole lot of junk into the already junky studio which she got to see along with my even junkier garage and upstairs storage space i think it s not just any person that you could feel comfortable showing your life as it really is with all the ugly messy parts included yes i am certainly blessed to know someone like layla and to have the opportunity to visit with her as i have i just love her when layla was here it won t surprise you to know that there was lots of talk about projects and decorating i had just finished putting a new coat of paint on the walls of the kitchen and living room if you remember i had planned on painting twice remembered all white with the exception of the red cabinets ultimately though the rest of the family wanted some color and i decided upon a cheery blue robin s egg blueish color here is a sneak peek of the shade we went with and it is called blanket ci246 by valspar found at lowes let me tell you this color glows no kidding in fact i was kind of freaking out about it for a few days because it really changes with the light in most parts of the house i loved it but certain spots at certain times of the day it translated to more of a minty color by the time layla got here i was thinking that i was just going to have to change it layla and i talked and talked about it and i even tried another similar color sample but it was much darker than what i had in mind i wanted bright and happy i really did love the glow afterall and now that it has been up a while i m so glad i didn t paint over it right away by the way the nook you see is by our front door and was once a tiny coat closet we ripped it out because i wanted a little spot like this for flowers and keys i can never find my keys though so having a spot for flowers at least is lovely we re still working on painting the story of our lives but i can t wait to show you what the blue looks like in the kitchen based on what you see in the photos above what do you think not that it is an option anymore with my families campaign against all white walls but if you had to choose between this color happy cheery and bright or white soft relaxing subdued what would you have chosen i love the random little chalk drawing love person in the last photo not sure which of my kiddos drew it but it sure makes me smile enjoy your day and i hope you find some time to waste today 21 comments faux cupcakes and a word on being creative h ello friends i hope you have been well and are enjoying this delicious fall weather i m itching to get a nice warm fire going in the fireplace and settle in for the season this is most definitely my favorite time of year i have been busy making little things for the shop and have turned out a sweet batch of faux cupcakes i will be photographing and listing them when they are fully cured but i thought i d share with you one of my favorites why is it that i am so fascinated with little mushrooms and little polka dotted mushrooms at that let s not forget tiny pennant flags and unexpected teensy tiny things like a miniature cupcake under aforementioned polka dotted mushrooms le sigh oh little baby cupcake how i love you this cupcake is sprinkled with german glass glitter for a little sparkle and i do believe i am addicted to german glass glitter as much as i am cupcakes and mushrooms the mini bakery is slowly coming along you can see in the background the wallpaper choices i m considering chocolate stripes and tiny french print the little table that the cupcake sits upon will be painted robin s egg blue of course i m still working on signs as well i can t tell you how happy it makes me to get up each day and decide what to make for me and maybe for you too there was a long period of time that i felt like so many other things needed to be accomplished first before using my time to create when the house is finished when the closets are organized when the landscaping beds aren t full of weeds but the truth is for me and maybe for you too i need the energy that only comes from creating to be motivated to work on the more mundane parts of life admittedly there were also a lot of doubts about my abilities and fears of not doing things as well as others i still have those doubts and fears but i m realizing that being truly creative means striving to let go of them just going with it and being open to imaginative adventure whether our interests lie in home projects crafts music writing painting culinary arts sewing gardening and so on making time to c r e a t e is so important to our health and mental emotional well being and sadly busy lives can easily snuff out the precious time needed to dedicate to personal creative interests but if you have a long list of goals and projects right now whatever they may be you ll be amazed at how much more enjoyable they will be if make something daily weekly or do something new daily weekly is near the top of the list if you don t think you have a creative or adventurous bone in your body do it anyway because the very fact that you re thinking about the possibility shows that you have it in you if you don t think you re that good do it anyway because you have to start somewhere and really who cares i recently read that comparison is the thief of joy and i truly believe that so avoid the temptation to compare if all the artists and musicians and designers etc worked to be just like the others we d have a world full of the same old stuff and where s the fun in that before i sign off for now i found a few interesting creativity quotes to inspire you as they have inspired me enjoy and happy creating true happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done the zest of creating things new antoine de saint exupery i m always thinking about creating my future starts when i wake up every morning every day i find something creative to do with my life miles davis you can t use up creativity the more you use the more you have maya angelou while we have the gift of life it seems to me that only tragedy is to allow part of us to die whether it is our spirit our creativity or our glorious uniqueness gilda radner the first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again decontrol himself train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible william s burroughs there is a fountain of youth it is your mind your talents the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love when you learn to tap this source you will truly have defeated age sophia loren a creative mess is better than idle tidiness michael j fox the mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude no big laboratory is needed in which to think originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind be alone that is the secret of invention be alone that is when ideas are born that is why many of the earthly miracles have had their genesis in humble surroundings tesla the creative adult is the child who has survived ursula k le guin when in doubt make a fool of yourself there is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth so what the heck leap cynthia heimel everyone is born creative everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry uninspiring books on algebra history etc being suddenly hit years later with the creative bug is just a wee voice telling you i d like my crayons back please hugh macleod so you see imagination needs moodling long inefficient happy idling dawdling and puttering brenda ueland if you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced vincent van gogh creativity is contagious pass it on albert einstein we will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own and other s people s models learn to be ourselves and allow our natural channel to open shakti gawain creativity can solve almost any problem the creative act the defeat of habit by originality overcomes everything george lois 10 comments questions about the twice remembered cottage g ood morning everyone i hope everyone is getting their weekend off to a great start the weather here is absolutely gorgeous i know many of you have had lots of questions regarding the twice remembered cottage paint colors projects and the like so i thought it might be a good idea to resurrect the faq page that i created quite a while back that may answer some of them i would like to work on adding even more information to the page but i guess i first need to know what you would like to know so send in your questions and i ll answer them for you keep in mind that i may post your question on my faq page but i ll only use your first initial so if you have project questions or really anything that you re curious about let me know for your convenience you ll also find a permanent link to the faq page right over there in the right hand menu column have a beautiful day friends and we ll talk again soon 7 comments cupcakes the sea and emily post a few happy things to share with you today like this little sign i made because i m obsessed with cupcakes and the sea and so now i secretly pretend that my kitchen is a seaside cupcakery did i just say that out loud a trio of faux cupcakes of course i had to make a polka dotted one my shop she could fly opens next week though the next few days i m focusing on getting signs listed you ll start seeing faux treats trickling in here and there i almost decided to just not bother with them anymore but they are just too fun to make oh here s a little something i ve been meaning to do for quite a while lining the kitchen drawers with old book pages of all the things to hold me up it was mainly the fact that i couldn t find just the right book i finally found a vintage emily post etiquette book that suited this little project perfectly i used the chapters of the book that related to food and entertaining i love all the illustrations that explain how to fold napkins how to create proper place settings and the best way to set up buffet tables for this project you simply carefully tear the pages out of the book apply white glue to the back of each page with a sponge brush or foam roller and press into place taking care to press out any bubbles let it dry overnight and then seal it with two or three coats of clear non yellowing latex sealer i still have to do that step but it s very important to protect those old pages i think it just adds a little something nice to a usually ignored part of the kitchen who knew opening kitchen drawers could be so sweet now i kind of wish i didn t have to put anything back in them have a beautiful weekend everyone 28 comments newer posts older posts home subscribe to comments atom
