A diversion....

I haven't been writing very much lately. Instead, I've been reserving my on-line time primarily for job searching. I still write daily in my journals but I miss being here. In any case, I thought I'd take a little break and share some creative fun. I've had this over sized ottoman sitting in my family room half finished for a while now. It's pretty normal for me to have 100 things left undone, but lately I've been trying to change my ways and pick a few things that I am absolutely resolved to see to the end. When I first started painting this ottoman, Breen told me it reminded him of Alice in Wonderland; the piece soon became affectionately known as "Alice". But after a while I realized that "Alice" wasn't resonating with me. Early this morning I looked over at it and the light bulb went off. My husband loves argyle and the lines of this piece are perfect for that theme. So now, I'm off in a new re energized direction and my husband will have his own one-of-a-kind argyle ottoman. I can't wait to design the seat! Here's an odd little fact: whenever I hand paint a piece of furniture, I usually end up painting it in the room it is intended for. Something about the energy? I'm not sure.....
