Paintings Galore!!

Of all the labels I wear, mother, wife, doggie mommy, sister, daughter, voluptuous sex goddess, ect. One of my favorite labels is artist (it might have been my favorite, but what could actually really beat voluptuous sex goddess???)
My favorite media is spray paint, but I've been pencil sketching for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite childhood memories is being in Florida for the summer with my grandparents and going out to my great aunt and uncle's tiny chicken/bird farm. At the time I was given a spiral note book and a pencil and told to go make more fanciful pictures. Which I did, happily. I kept that notebook for many years to follow until it was lost in my own mess of a lazy childhood bedroom.
Art has always been a part of my life, even if it was just doodles on scrap paper to pass the time. But now, it's become a center. Something I want to share and feel value for. It's a gift of God, and it isn't my place to keep a gift of God hiding! After viewing the pics, take a stroll over to Facebook and like the page www.facebook.com/chickspassions to keep some beautiful art on your news feed!

Color Swatches Mission

Now that the moving has been done, its time to start thinking about that uhg-ly recliner. I'm close to 90% positive that I'm confident enough that I possibly might not mess this up. I can't possibly make it any worse, at any rate.

I'm sure hubs is settled in his mind that he wants the exact same material in the exact same color. I'm not saying yes and I'm not saying no. I'm saying there are a gazzilion choices and I'd like to consider at least a couple of them before we make a decision.

Beginning with type of material, I want soft, and it can't feel like crushed velvet. Nor can it be like those fuzzy furniture pieces from the 70's, only because it would look totally out of place. Nothing that is going to make me feel sticky in the summer time. But something that will go well with the heat and massage that are inside the chair. 

The material that is on it is the perfect material. He says its suede, but is it real suede or not? More investigation is needed, cuz I'm positive real suede isn't a cost we can afford.

Suggestions on sites to start looking would be awesome!

The Peace of Being Settled

Moving is a lot of work. I should know, I've done it eleventy hundred times. There is this great satisfaction in getting everything out of boxes and creating a home for each and every thing.

I set goals for myself when I'm setting up a new place. The first night here my goal was to make enough room in our box filled living room to lay down the box spring and mattress. We couldn't use the bedroom for a few days as the carpet guys needed to get in there. Boxes were sorted, restacked, unpacked or otherwise moved out of my way. Eventually, there was room for our sleeping quarters.

The next day my goal was to make enough room for the table to get out of the way out the bathroom door. Being a woman who had four children this was a matter of urinary health and hygiene plus my safety! Again, boxes are moved, sorted, unpacked, re- stacked or otherwise gotten out of my way.

Soon after that came together hubs and I set a goal of getting the rest of the kitchen done. After that, it all came together pretty quickly.

We did however take a few days off before we finished the living room. Once that was done, the bedroom kinda got a bit unorganized again. I'll finish it tomorrow, I do believe.

There is a calm after all the unpacking is done. Everything is in it's place, its easy to maintain. We've worked so hard, we deserve a rest. I feel at piece, I was able to paint a couple plates. Life is pretty awesome.

But, tomorrow the rat race starts all over again....

Best wishes and all my love! ~ Sherry
