BLACKBOARD PAINT

it was late at night (hence the 'before' shots). the mister was watching football on tv. yawn. so i had an urge to do something constructive with my time in stead of being a lazy bones. and so i painted a pillar in our kitchen with blackboard paint. i'd wanted to for a while, to make notes and the like, but also for Stanley to draw on. maybe even giving me an extra five minutes of peace in the kitchen when washing up and cooking etc. and so in the words of frecklewonder prest-o! change-o! it was done. and rather pleased i am with it too.

REAL LIFE.

somedays most days when i put stanley to bed...i am greeted with this. mess. everywhere. every room has been hit and i only have ONE child to look after. who knows what it will look like if i have any more! sometimes i try and take nice pictures. beautiful photos of my life, stanley, my work and what we're up to. tonight while i type this the house looks like these pictures. i'm typing right now in that desk mess ignoring the to-do list and the pile of papers i'm supposed to file... this is real life, sorry it's not pretty but i thought i'd share anyway. i'm too tired to get creative with the shots so you have it as is.

even the cat is sitting on pillows and cushions i've had out to wash and put away for weeks now. she's the only one happy with the situation!

hoping to post something more lovely looking soon....
