I'm making myself crazy with ideas, too many ideas and not enough finished projects. It's birthday parties, holiday decorating, party planning, stocking the shop and the fact that I haven't even given Christmas shopping a single thought. Don't get me wrong I adore the holidays. The decorating the shopping all of it. I just wish I had the time and the focus to keep up with it all.
I think my biggest problem is that I lack the focus to follow through. I have so many ideas and several projects started but not much completed. Sure my studio is picked up and everything stowed away but nothing is completed. I promised myself this would be the week that I would buckle down and get serious, really serious. But then I remembered the big Mad Hatter Tea party I'm throwing in January and spent the day pinning ideas on Pinterest. Ahh, Pinterest, love, love. We'll the girls and I did manage to cross one little project off the list. We colored several tiny bottle brush trees the most delicious shades of shabby chic.
It was so easy. A little Martha Stewart paint and glitter did the trick. The girls had a great time painting and sprinkling glitter everywhere. I think clean up time took more time than it did to make the tiny trees fabulously shabby. Did I say there was glitter? My house may not be clean but it certainly sparkles!
We did manage to sit a spell and sip some tea while enjoying a brisk afternoon in the fall leaves. Did I say brisk? It was down right chilly. I think fall is almost spent. I'm definitely not ready for winter but then maybe it will motivate me to get things done and spend a little less time playing in the leaves.
Maybe but not likely.
Gorgeous wall colour! It makes me think of the iconic pink bathrooms of the mid-twentieth century. I'm a huge fan of colourful walls and indeed our master bedroom is a rich, elegant shade of burgundy called radicchio, like the lettuce.

Thanks Jessica I love it. The color is coral pink and yes it reminds me of a vintage room. I love the color and the lettuce. I ate it for dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteYes there is always so much to do and not enough time to do it all. I was thinking that your tea party outside was way more fun anyway. Hope you have a lovely Sunday. I am following your blog now. Looking forward to your adventures.
