I’m Painting

When I should be writing.

But I tell ya, writing takes everything. It takes thinking, doing, dreaming, editing, printing, highlighting, handwriting, stapling, flagging and sometimes paper clipping. So sometimes it’s a good practice to refocus on a project other than writing.

So then I think, I’ll do some painting!

I’m now regretting my life choices.

This room was my teen kids room so you guessed it, trashed! I’m flipping it into my writing room and with having only little bits of each paint colour leftover from painting the rest of the house, I think- I’ll make stripes!

Forget the wall washing, mudding and sanding. It’s the line drawing for the stripes that got me!

We have a bungalow with a floating floor so you draw a straight line and follow that line around the room it’ll be inches above and inches below from one side to another. Oh lord, what a nightmare.

I get my husband to help me, what am I doing wrong? Nothing, he says, then suddenly puts his foreman hat on and shows me how to do what I need to do not only reviving my marital flame but also teaching me something new 🤩

So now the lines are done and I just have to tape, paint and everything else 🤦‍♀️

It’s fun though and I’m excited to do something visually artistic. Can’t wait to be able to share pics of the paint!!

Edit-

Not sure what happened with this post, it was lost in internet land for a bit, not even sure if it got pushed to emails. Apologies if it did not.

Until next time,
