Cutting in the Trim…
Tara told me that my master bedroom was huge. It is actually longer than our living room by a few feet. Tonight I think it is growing though. I keep working on cutting in the trim, and it just goes on and on and on and on and on.
Ugh.
Please tell me that rolling the paint in the center of the walls is not going to take this long. I don’t know how much more I can take.
Mike has been told not to read the blog so that I can post pictures. Now I just have to find the energy. I’m not sure if I can lift the camera. Why can’t the decorator fairies just come and take care of it for me?

Skull and Crossbones Lace…
I seem to have discovered lately that a lot of people, including Tara and Caro love skulls. The free pattern for Skull and Crossbones Lace might just be perfect for them! [Via Chickybabe.]
The above photo was taken at Julia’s house when I visited her almost two weeks ago. She is a huge nature lover, so I could not pass up a chance to capture such a beautiful creature as it sat on the side of my car. Her daughter and I enjoyed our moment outside while I took the pictures. I did not enjoy having a grasshopper jump around inside my car later on as I drove in to Austin. I guess not everything can be perfect when it comes to nature!

Chrysanthemum, by William Morris…
While in London, I visited the Victoria & Albert Museum. After cruising through the various galleries, I went into the gift shop where I immediately spotted a bag made of fabric in the Chrysanthemum, by William Morris pattern in the blue-gray, brown, mauve & cream color. I love the fabric. I adore the bag. I have been using it almost every day since I bought it, and it is fabulous. So today I thought it would be cool to see if I could buy fabric like that for decorating use.
The fabric is *cough* $116 *cough* a yard. So for $116, I could have two throw pillows. (No, the bag did not cost that much. It was 12 pounds, or just short of $24.)
Wow. $116. A yard. For fabric. That is just crazy talk. Although it really is a beautiful pattern. Not that beautiful though!
Update: Ok, this website has it for under $100 a meter for the 100% cotton. The woven fabric is closer to $140. Yowza.
