hey, alicia. where ya been?
Oh, Internet. No, we're not breaking up. I just have been too busy to hang out. What's so important that I've neglected you so? Well. Let's see...
Painting the inside of a playhouse. Here's a peek. I've been there every free minute for a few weeks. Good things these clients live close. I have a feeling photos aren't going to do this little room justice. It might just end up pretty darn cute.
Redesigning this website. You like? (please say yes. please say yes.) I used to work for that company way back when. Now I maintain their website.
Reading this book. I'm hosting book club next week. The book is GREAT, and I do love my book club ladies.
Starting to get ready for my shop opening. The canvases are just about stretched. Time to gesso.
And the usual suspects: kids, toys, messes, meals with family, appointments, Cub Scout meetings, soccer practice, playing outside. Life.
I'd have to say, Internet, it feels healthy to take this little break from each other. I've needed it. I'll be back. I promise. I just need a little space.
{You know I still love you.}

I read that for my book club, too.

The website looks great!
And if you like The Kite Runner, you should read his new one--A Thousand Splendid Suns. I liked that one even more!

Oh the playhouse looks so cute. Can't wait for pictures! and the canvases...those will be beautiful I'm sure.
The website is so clean and sophisticated and doesn't it feel good to get lost in a book.
Take your time...we'll be anxiously awaiting.

Isn't the Kite Runner a great read. We did it in our book group a few years ago. And we've done Khaled's other book "A thousand splendid Suns" more recently. It's equally good. Enjoy your bookgroup discussion.
By the way, your house looks lovely in those glimpses I'm seeing in your photos.

What a wonderful playhouse! I can forgive you for ignoring us for that...
I loved the book you are discussing...

That playhouse looks adorable!

Loved the Kite Runner.
And the dollhouse is so super-tiny-cute-and-cool. Can't get over that level of detail. You must have some extra special gene for that kind of patience. :) Website is looking good...
Thanks for taking time to share, despite all the busy-ness.
