the next day ....

... we pretty much decided to stay home, start a couple projects we had been planning. This is where we started .... a project we wanted to work on together, that we had been contemplating for about 3 or 4 years .... it started here ....

Progressed to this ...

We texturized the canvases with stucco and used lots of gorgeous colors .... Claudine Hellmuth's paints ... they're beautiful!!

We played with this project all week long .... scouring through every corner of my studio looking for the perfect embellishments ... making a list of the items we needed to find .....

But in the meantime we were also working on another project. We planned to redecorate my living room while Terri was here ... i had some basics, and collected a few things here and there, but, again, it was something we wanted to do together .... so we started with this ....
As the week progressed .... we hit a few antique stores ... and almost every Hobby Lobby in the city ... we are fortunate to have six of them now!! And we continually hit the jackpot .... oh do they have some great collections! It slowly started to take shape ....


But wait ... there a just a few more items we need to hunt down .....
