Labors of Love

Luanna is in a PA hospital, epidural-ed, waiting for a birthday!

Happy Birthday to brother Artist David in Missouri! You inspire me.

Today I started by basecoating "Child's Play" Sherwin Williams 6845 (light blue-pink) in SATIN finish. I talked client into letting me do ceiling!!!! Love how it expands the room visually. Added dinner plate sized polka dots in semi-gloss, same color. Could have used polyurethane, but that can be runny/messy. Chalked circles 13 inches diameter, 19 inches apart side to side and 26 inches apart vertically from high dot to one straight down. If you get the vertical lines just right the polka dot pattern looks really cool. Freehand painted circles, erased chalk guidelines.

Snail is taken from the baby.gap bedding collection "Sleeping Snail."

Stitch lines, eye, antenae=white

Snail shell= "Dancing Green" SW 6716

Snail body= "Hibiscus" SW 6851

Our kitchen. Notice how I am ignoring the color cues from the outdated green tiles and chose a happy cheddar cheesy color and hot pink. Added this phrase again, dropped the "here." I like how the quote means many things, many levels. We could be longing for God's comfort, or our longing for your comfort as you come and visit our shelter....It is a John Landbeck quote. My man of many words!
