My studio is unusable at the moment...see my houses, way back in the corner?
I'll show you the life-sized project I'm working on instead...
My daughter Kate's Christmas wish list this year was to remodel her bedroom. Her grandparents, aunts and uncles all gave her cash and gift cards to buy supplies; Matthew and I bought her the new bedding she selected and are providing her with guidance and a labor force.
She sorted through her belongings last week, giving away what she had outgrown and paring down her collectibles to a manageable number. Friday we went paint shopping, then yesterday we got her room cleared out and the walls prepped for painting before she left to ring in the new year with some friends. There were about a hundred or so nail and tack holes to spackle and sand, Kate is now a pro.
As she was getting ready to leave for the party I started cutting in the edges and corners so the room would be ready to paint when she gets home today. (I wanted to do it while she was gone so that we wouldn't be tripping over each other trying to work in a small room at the same time.)
After the first stroke of paint she expressed concern that the blue she selected was too bright...when I was finished cutting in I told Matthew I didn't think she was going to like the color, that we might end up back at the paint store for a different shade...but this morning, now that the paint has dried, it looks totally different...I think she'll be happy with the more sedate blue it is now.
After all that work yesterday I rang in the new year the same way Wakefield did...
Happy New Year! I also partied like a pro yesterday! Worked on minis and crashed by 11:00. Can't believe I last that long!
