Photos from around the house

--I have always thought that a cool photo project would be a bunch of black and white photos that were         of things that we associate strongly with certain colors (those flowers are really yellow). 

--The porch is real nice this time of year. 

--These days I cannot drink enough coffee. 

--Big week for shows. Unfortunately Bird Man was canceled, but First Aid Kit rocked the house. 

--I got that plaid skirt. It's from Pendleton. I love it. That skirt is vintage, but I found one like it here. 

--It's amazing how lighting candles changes the mood so much. 

--I love keeping flowers in the house. 

--Handmade Napkins. 

--So happy about something. 

Missing My Man

Joel is out of town and it is killing me. I thought that I would be excited to have the house all to myself and be able to do lots of projects, but it's not that fun to do stuff unless you have someone to share it with.

I have been doing some fun things though. Writing lots of letters, reading lots of books and blogs, watching some movies, doing some home decorating, deep cleaning the house, and making lots of phone calls to distant friends and family.

Room Cleaning

Rooming cleaning is not my strong suit. I tend to let my room get to the point where it looks like tornado alley. About when I feel like I have to swim through an ocean of clothing just to get to my bed I decide that I should probably clean it. Here are some before and after pictures so that you can get the picture: 

Before

After

It was a difficult experience, and there are no pictures of the closet for a reason, but all in all, I am glad that I took the time to clear a path to my bed.
