My project of painting the girls room is complete! (Well, I’m still waiting on Fanny Mae to get me the pillows.)
I know it’s drawn out to a few days but that’s just how these things go. Decorating or redecorating, takes time.
THELMA & LOUISE’S ROOM
The girls share a queen platform bed that I pushed up to [...]

FINALLY! The finished painted techno-colored girls room!
Introducing Color #2: From Hep Green to Reflecting Pool.
After painting two coats of Sherwin William’s Hep Green Techno Color on the walls, I am very concerned. It’s TOO YELLOW GREEN. It looks nothing like the brochure.
Calm down. It’s ok. Maybe you just have to get used to it. Plus, it’s time for the next color.
Family Arts and Crafts: The flower series.
A couple of years ago I started “Family Arts and Crafts Time” for our family. I would go to the dollar store and buy something we could paint and then we would paint them at home one night as a fun family project. We have a few completed projects:
The Birdhouse Series.
The Seashell Series.
In each series, [...]
Private Art Classes: A Look at Magda’s Home Studio

Edward on a Twilight cake?
Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.
Martha Stewart shows me how to make bows using the Bowdabra.
I’m at my Lucy Lu’s house that she shares with her roommate, Martha Stewart, in West Hollywood. Lucy and Martha have been working hard to add some Christmas Spirit into their house and it looks fabulous.
They hung the stockings.
Rain in Cali keeps me inside.
Shockingly, I come to the sunny state of California to cold and rain. Cold doesn’t really mean cold. It means, cold for LA…which is only mild spring-like weather for everyone else. Today was cloudy with occassional rain, and totally blah blah blah. It feels like April showers weather and is around the same temperature. High is around 60F [...]
Gifts for the girls from their private art teacher.
My girls take Private Art Classes weekly from an extremely talented artist. Magda is a dear friend and we are so lucky to have her in our lives. She has taught the girls so much about art, all the technical stuff that I have forgotten.
