Boy-howdy when I focus on something I sure do focus… Is it Thursday already?! James gave me the go ahead to finish writing Book Two. (Translation, I started dreaming chapters again and bitching about needing to write them down. I remembered how this worked last time and felt I was too busy, but he told me to stop whining and just do it while it was working even if it meant ignoring the planet for a month or two.) I don’t know how other people write but it is something of an intense process for me. All or nothing baby. The good news is I can literally bang out a novel length book in the span of a couple months, the bad news is – um, I forget to eat and stuff. So here is the big project waiting for me when I come out the other side of this alive. ANOTHER DECOUPAGE TABLE! WAHOO!
Amy over at World of Mod Podge (my newest blog obsession, love her site, go there, go there, go there) is sending me a little package of some, what else, Mod Podge! With a few extra bottles on the way I should have enough to really do a number to the top of this extra long IKEA table. I am thinking about a red base coat of paint and check out a sample of the papers I bought for this project. I can’t wait! (While we are discussing AWESOME desks and decoupage, check out this one and this one…wow.)
Speaking of IKEA, check out how organized this shelf is. I’ll admit it I’m a convert to the land of the flat packed, nothing-but-pictures instructions. There’s no shame in admitting I was wrong and letting go of my prejudices. It makes me a bigger person. So loud and proud people – IKEA Rocks!
And here is just a sampling of what I am NOT working on because I am busy writing up a storm. Yup, as soon as I decide I have had it with the library and racing deadlines and I go ahead and order some books on Amazon – BAM! – the bug hits me again and these sit and collect dust waiting to be studied. Ah, well. At least I own them and can pick them up whenever I want.
