studio progress

the office studio corner of the room is set up
The walls are painted. Furniture is moved in. Artwork is hung. Bookshelves filled. Desks set up. 

I am very excited.

three painting my sister did are the centerpiece of the room - i love the color
the little ducky I got for my birthday peaks down from the bookshelf
a basket for sketchbooks, pencils and markers - another basket for painting supplies
bookshelf and my little cow creamer jar
office setup - organized and convenient
another one of Amy's paintings I turned into a key holder <3
It is still very much a work in progress, mudroom shelving to be painted and organized, another storage cabinet for craft and office supplies, moving the cat crate outside (a few more weeks it will be warm enough,) setting up the pot and pan wall. This corner is finished though, and I love it. There are two desks, one with the computer and office stuff, and another with art supplies. Everything I need is handy, and organized. I love the way the bookshelf looks in this big room. I feel inspired and excited to be in this space. I expect a lot of painting, drawing, exercising, yoga, blog work, and much much more in this room. Plus, since the rooms are connected, it means the kitchen, hallway (gallery) and laundry room (still to be painted) all got freshened up as well. The gallery:
 



 The house is so warm and inviting to walk into now. 
More to come, as I get things finished.

Until next time,

a new beginning

Hello there strangers. I'm sharing this with you on my new iPhone. I'm not usually big on having new fancy things, but I'm excited. My absence in this space has been mostly due to a terrible computer that makes it nearly impossible to work on. I hope now I can finally be productive in this space again. I've missed you.   

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

the good, the bad, and the embarrassing

Our first week and a half on the farm have not been uneventful by any means. In fact, tonight on the ride home I said to the Universe (or more accurately Jonathan, since that's who heard me) "thanks for all the tests you've been throwing at us lately, but that's enough for now, please?" We expected some hard times and lots of hard work, but we weren't ready for random mishaps and accidents that would set us back so soon in the change. Bad things that have happened since we arrived: Jonathan gets a tick and the head is stuck in his back. It's been a week now and I think it's all worked out, but I was really scared. We get locked out of the Jeep, and it's $120 for a locksmith to come unlock it. We have snatched Zaphod (our kitty) off of upstairs windowsills about five times. I smacked myself in the forehead with a knife (apparently I missed the day in class when they tought you basic knife-holding skills.) It was just a little cut, mainly my ego ...
