What's wrong with this picture?
No, it's not an episode of Hoarders. My #*%&@ dishwasher died.
Fortunately, I know a really hot plumber.
I am continually grateful for Adam's ability to fix anything. I'm going to tell my daughters-marry a man who can fix stuff.

Violet is building things. Then the little person on the right knocks them down. Violet gets so frantic when Piper gets near her things. I feel bad for both of them. Piper wants to play with Violet soooo much, and Violet hates it when the baby messes up her stuff.
Violet has started building "baby traps". They're designed to keep Piper out of her play area. They usually consist of a blanket strung across a chair and a rocking horse. They sort of work.
More studio progress.
Adam is finished putting on every last little bit of drywall and all the wood on the windowsills.
Stairs-yay! Loft-yay! Having to move and/or cover every single thing in this studio-not yay. The guy coming out to texture the walls next month said it gets really messy because they spray it on. So...I'll be busy.
I'm getting excited!

Do any of you follow Duane Keiser's work? He's the originator of the painting-a-day movement. I really admire his work. He inspired me to pursue the p-a-d project for about a year. Here's my old art blog if you're interested. Some days went well, others didn't. It did help me improve my skills and learn to work more quickly. I sure miss painting. The studio should be (ahem, Adam???) done by the end of this year. Right, honey? RIGHT?????
I thought today's painting from Keiser is fun. It's amazing how much he conveys with a few simple brushstrokes. He's a real master with still lifes, but they have so much energy. Those few strokes of orange really wake up those peas, yes?
Seeing as how I am a huge supporter of the color orange, let's look at some orange things, shall we?
Gorgeous sari fabric tunic from Gravity Fashion.
Ring ring....orange you glad I called? (Yes, I know I'm annoying.)
Prit-tay. I'll take the whole ceiling. Oh, and if you're liking all this orange, perhaps you'd enjoy Whorange. And Katy over at No Big Dill is also an orange fan.
Like it all. I'll take the dog, too.
Put one of these...
...in a bottle of this.
Black and white photography looks smashing on an orange wall, don't you think?
