Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love posted at 7:48 PM
This is the first painting I've done in years! It's a portrait of a Boston Terrier. I painted the picture I found
here, from
dogbreedworld.net.
It feels great just to be painting again. More to come.
I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...
I love my dog, Baby, I love my dog. Na, na, na...
I love my dog, Baby, I love my dog. Na, na, na...

After finding lots of
stairway design inspiration, I started painted the stairway to our downstairs bedroom. I just finished with the walls - Sonata Blue and Moon Rise White. Eric sanded down the wood stairs, so now I'm going to (very carefully) paint white stair runners on the edges of them. Before/After pics to come soon.
I want to buy a fake mounted deer head to hang at the end of the stairway. There are so many beautiful ones on Etsy. I'm trying to decide which one to get. It's going to hang on the light blue wall...
which one is your favorite?

I'm in love and she is tragic magic posted at 10:27 PM
"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen." John Steinbeck
I bought two adorable lionshead rabbits. Eric named them Mohawk and Batman. From their colors, I'm sure you can guess which one is Batman. I recently bought them a hutch, and now they have a big space outside. Although I still bring them inside often. They practice leaps across our bedroom.
I went to several independent petstores while shopping for rabbits. The owners sold rabbits for $80 and could tell me their sex and details about how to care for them, but they didn't have any to my liking. On Valentine's Day I went to the pet store in Encinitas Mall and they had a sale on rabbits for $10!! The cutest rabbits I had seen since I started my search, at that. The kid at the pet store in the mall didn't know if they were boys or girls, but he had the cutest baby bunnies in town. After having them for 2 months I have reason to believe that Mohawk is a girl and Batman is boy. I haven't gotten them neutered (or bothered to confirm their sex). I'm kind of hoping for baby bunnies...
When I was 9 or 10 my Mother's friend gave her a couple of rabbits. My Dad built a big wooden hutch for them in the backyard. It stood off the ground - about five feet high- on four wooden legs. There was a ramp that led up to the door of the hutch for the rabbits. They were allowed to run around my parents big backyard all day. Unfortunately I can't do that with my rabbits right now because the backyard isn't gated off.
At some point we had twenty-two rabbits hopping around our backyard. I can't remember who the original parents were. I do remember a few of the rabbits though. Midnight was a black rabbit, he was very handsome and very fast. Snowball was a white rabbit. He was also incredibly fast. I don't remember him entirely fondly because he would chase and bite the other rabbits. Buttons was my mother's favorite rabbit. She was a soft brown bunny who lived to be quite old. She would come to you when you reached out your hand to her. She would rest in your arms for hours, during a movie even, and she was the only rabbit allowed inside (she didn't chew electric cords, another testament to her greatness).
