Here’s what we’ve been up to…
our necks in snow. Fine, so not quite that much. It fell Friday and kept on coming Saturday.
We were at Ikea when it began and quickly turned into this below on our I-35 route home.
Which meant plenty of this
Then came some of this inside.
These are up too. My mom made these stockings. Mine is very old and Greg’s was made when he became my husband.
Unfortunately, these paint samples are back up on the wall. It includes 10 new ones…still nothing that is my ideal shade of gray. 10 because after those 7 from Benjamin Moore I decided to go for 3 more. (Total of 24 I believe.) I’m going to get one more that seems promising then I might call it quits. We’re trying to be on our way out of the house in a year and the shade on the wall is pretty even though it’s not what is in my mind.
We’re selling our desk. Brought the heavy beast upstairs where I get to stare at the snow and decorations while working (and stay much warmer than in the basement). We’ve put a number of things on the market we no longer need in the hopes they find good homes and to help pay off some debts. Still trying to reach our goal in that department.
Been doing some small projects like this glossy white and gold frame and

this guy. He’s looking very different these days. His body is in the old studio office while his drawers await lacquer elsewhere.
Which reminds me of this. Our two darling puppies spend time in our 3 season which, as some of you know, is part of our storage area and after months without attention to a single piece, this happened today. Lieutenant Dan (remember that’s the name of this dresser without legs) is not pleased nor am I.
Happy holidays!
