My Projects This Week
September 18, 2008
1) Finish painting the kids table. ‘Top Banana’ (topmost swatch above) appears to be working out nicely. In the past, I’ve had easy successes choosing blue, gray, and green paints, but now I know yellows and oranges require more thought. And squinting.
2) Finish website design that involves little guy above. Not going to reveal until the site goes live!
3) Send postcard design off to the printer for a VenturaParent.com event.
4) Finish a frame project that’s been dragging out for months. Some frames I’ve been eying at Target went on clearance a few months back, so I snapped up a couple. Yesterday, I spray-painted them a lovely shade of blueish-gray (still in original color below). Now I just need to find some artwork to go in them and hang the suckers, once and for all.
So, lots of projects mean little sleep (Ryan has been my partner in crime doing the late-night thing, as well). But I can’t help but love what I do, creating, even if means working into the wee hours of the night. Ryan, too — he’s been working on an incredible piano piece, so hopefully soon it’ll be coming at cha. Cleopatra.
Days just need to be longer. Like, 30 hours instead of 24. Wouldn’t that’d be grand?! Mothers everywhere would jump for joy.

When you discover the mojo for a 30 hour day, let me know. I will pay ANYTHING for that secret.
Yay, projects! I have also been guilty of the way-too-late nights in the interest of finishing projects. It is my happy time.
I’d take a couple of extra hours too. Love what you did with the frames & the little green guy…he’s cute. Can’t wait to see the reveal.
I can’t to see the “after’s” of your projects. You’ve got a great eye and style. Happy projecting!
Way to get stuff done! I’m jealous. I’m looking at a giant tent in the playroom that I have no idea how to even take down.
Email me if you are interested in working on a project I have coming up. It’s a web site for candles and aroma sticks. Let’s talk shop:-)
I really want to do this project now…I’ll keep my eyes peeled for inexpensive frames to paint. I just needed a little prodding…it’s easy right?
P.S. Glad you are enjoying the lemon curd. My daughter likes to eat it straight out of the jar too.
P.P.S. You are lucky to have Trader Joes. I miss it so.
I DREAM about all the things I could do with 30 hour days! I might actually be able to finish a few of the thousand projects I’ve started :)
