oh, how i wish there were more hours in a day…because i want to clean my house from top to bottom, i have to finish a slew of thank-you cards, i need to send some packages in the mail, i realized i haven’t picked up a sketch pad in years and i really want to draw my daughter, i’m determined to dedicating 45 min. a day to really challenging my body–because it feels amazing, and then it would be really kinda nice to just spend an afternoon chillin’ on the couch watchin’ movies with my girl.
at least it feels good to put into words what my intentions are.
…but in the meantime…
my $10 chair. i slopped a coat of rich turquoise on it during her first nap today, another during her second nap, and by sunset it was dry enough for these pics…which i just love.
there are many…sorry, but i just can’t choose a favorite.


i meandered into the boys’ section for this little tie. it suits her.



brandyn took these!






oh, and i lied. i do have a favorite…or two:


feeling surges of creativity again. i think it’s the nook. it’s inspired me.
…enjoying the more-flowish-than-ebb things. ~k



The tie…so casually dangling under that cherubic face…like she doesn’t even know she just joined the Wall Street gang. Ahhh, what a little torquoise paint will do for a cast-off kitchen chair…it oozes of style!!! Bravo!
OH STOP YOURSELF RIGHT NOW GIRLFRIEND! I love how the tie matches the chair! I love her! I love these! Zowie wowie!!
Kelly cracks me up. I bet she is even funnier in real life. You get so much done, sister. I heart this chair! And her hair is getting so long! And, her straw colored hair in the robin’s egg chair!
that chair rocks!! maybe i lied too…blondies do get me every time…but especially when they have darn cute feet. i love these pics. no question why you couldn’t post just a few!
Had to come back and see you now that I know your voice….that totally sounds creepy to anyone else reading this. But I know you get me.
HOLY…!!!! these pictures are
A-MA-ZING.
beautiful.
creative…
that most certainly can NOT be the same chair we risked our lives to pick up in the middle of the night while antiquing out in the cape!!! NO WAY!
you are such a getter doner:) it amazes me what you have accomplished since sunday.
xoxo
oh for pity’s sake, there are no words. I LOVE these!!!! The nook has magical powers!
Great Job Brandyn!
I love how the sun is doing its thing in the 5th one (just below the bw).
ok now i’m going to paint all my furniture turquoise…
i must say … it’s my favorite too.
it’s a gorgeous picture.
i was making my daughter’s valentines to give out at daycare (yes, i completely find a way to make the holiday become my opportunity to squeeze a craft in) … and i was making one that so reminded me of lainey (hair barettes) … would it be weird if i wanted to send you a set??
Brandyn did such a great job – and it’s fun to see you in some pictures too, haha 🙂 Love Lainey’s flowered skirt and tie combo! Oh and can I just say that I’m SUPER JEALOUS that you guys are going around barefoot in February?!?!
love love love that chair oh my! and oh my the pictures the tie… what can I say and the shirt lets not forget about that skirt that is a must borrow for Skye Bear. You are BRILLANT! miss you
Great pics, brilliant creativity and Lainey faces are… just adorable.
I wish a little tuquoise paint could make the rest of the world as beautiful…but this is a start! Have a happy Friday!
think what you could do with a chair like that in EVERY color of the rainbow! It would be CRAZY in here! xo
Wow, you look so different blonde, didn’t recognize you at first!
