Happy Sunday

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful HOT day.

The temps this summer have been mild, but August holds true to it's reputation and has brought both heat and humidity to Tennessee. I'm not complaining. I do my complaining in the winter months.

So, what to do when the weather outside is too hot to enjoy? Stay indoors and paint.

I finished the 6'x6' floorcloth and shipped it out. I got a photo from my client yesterday showing the new floorcloth in her dining area.


You can't tell from the photo, but the colors used in the cloth are the same earthy tones as the tile on her dining table. The center is painted in cream and beige colors. The border is painted in burgundy/brown colors with a mix of green, red and cream floral and scrolled designs.

The larger floorcloths are a lot of work, but fun to paint. I'm currently working on another even larger floorcloth and hope to have it ready by mid week. That should keep me busy and out of the heat for a few more days.

Football season is here..........YAH! Well, preseason is here. I'm not big on preseason, but I just love me some football. My beloved Titans are playing the Bills. Fire up the grill it's time to tailgate. Bring on the beer and hot wings!!!


Have A Happy Day!!

(thought about the previous post but it IS difficult.)

PRETTY ! You are very talented. I would never attempt a project like that.

It looks so good in place - you must be really pleased to see your work in situ. It's good to hear from you again - I thought the tag below was clever, too!

The floor cloth looks so perfect in her dining area. You made it so perfect. And you painted that big a piece - oh boy, that's lots of work.

How sweet of you guys to comment here :-) I see a new tv is on the way? LOL
