This Old House
Its these improvised weapons that makes the Bourne franchise so much fun for me...Sure, Bond is awesomely cool w/ all his fancy toys, we love Bond...but if you're ever in a fight w/ a guy, just pick up a book and beat his face with it...(lots of videos here, if you haven't seen the movies but want to, you might not want to see these till ya do)...
This weekend was indoor-decorating time...We are officially in the house a year as of yesterday, so we spent the weekend hanging up stuff that has been sitting around for the past year...collecting dust...really sad...maybe in the next 5 years we'll have it all up and hung...Years ago we bought those crown moulding shelves from the Pottery Barn Outlet, and they've been laying in the corners since we brought them home...finally, they are up...and they look great! From Target, we snagged one of those 3ft clocks and that's taking up half a wall...lots of my samplers have been framed and are now sitting on the shelves, till I figure out the best places to put them...
We don't have a lot of spare furniture - you know, the little tables and end pieces that make up little vingettes around your homes..with little lamps and pictures and such...so that's what I'm going to hunt for next...and once I get some areas setup, I will know what to hang and where...the thing is, we've lived in pretty small houses, that don't have a lot of room for furniture...so we live like Amish - bare and plain...its not so bad, really...and makes vacuuming pretty easy...I'm still trying to decide what colors to paint the walls, but I have some ideas...that'll be fun, I think...ignorance is bliss, right?
I spied 2 monarchs and 1 queen butterfly yesterday...it was good to see them...and I've found 3 monarch chrysalis in the yard that I didn't even know were there...now that the rain has left, I can venture out and take inventory...its time to get rid of weeds...argh!

Need. More. Nyx.
LOL! You gotta try the silver colors again. The key with Olympia Rain is to use it straight out of the rod. I used it on cobalt blue and reduced it then encased it. Yum!
Nyx, on the other hand is SUPER easy to use. Reduce, encase, magic. Saaaaaaaweeeeeeeeeet!

Oh and living like Amish sounds like complete bliss. I live in a tiny house with way too many people and their stuff. When's a good time to kick adult children out of the house? Thursday sounds good to me.
