Sunday

I do believe that Sunday is my favorite day of the week.

Yesterday I really wanted to just spend time with Nate and art. We decided to go to the art museum and have lunch. We checked out the Cindy Sherman show and some of the Greek sculptures the museum is showing this month.

Me + Cindy Sherman

The Cindy Sherman show was great, I just wish there were more. There were 4 pieces total, all of them giant and fantastic. However, I kept feeling like I wanted to be in the same room with about 20.

The Greek sculpture were great too. Trying to contemplate just how old they were was a little mind blowing.

It really was just what I needed. A day with someone I treasure the most and art.

Rain and beers at Oven and Shaker

We later had lunch at Oven and Shaker and headed home.
I feel like my heart is healing and that is a good thing.

Downtown always makes me happy.

Today Leigh Jackson of Noisy Dog Studio came over so I could show her some collage things and just hang out for a bit. She hung out with Chloe some too, and I'm pretty sure Chloe really enjoyed it. I know I very much liked seeing her.

Etsy Favorites

Some of my Etsy favorites today!

This wonderful vulture painting painted by Leigh Jackson of Noisy Dog Studio.

Beautiful, vintage, Herman Miller Eames Chair, of CoMod vintage.

This lovely wool, herringbone, bag from Infusion. My friend, Kim, gave me an Infusion bag for Christmas last year, and I must say, it is beautifully made!

Finally, this sweet dog coat from Bean Town Handmade! I got to see these sweet dog clothes up close at the Crafty Wonderland Spring Show, and they are just as cute in person :)

Chloe Baloney!

So yesterday I got a really nice surprise from Wendy of 2 Dog Studio!
She sent me a couple of prints of this painting that she had done of my dog Chloe :D

This makes the fourth piece of art that has been painted of her.
The third one I got at the beginning of the week from Brian Rubenacker!
Michael ordered it for me as a surprise :)

So we added two more pieces of Chloe art to our Chloe art collection. Trish Grantham painted one for me last year, and Leigh Jackson sent one to me in December.

I want to get them all framed and hang them above her kennel when we move back to Portland.
My little girl is so popular, and she doesn't even know it :)

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday!
I will be posting my secret blog dealy tomorrow!

I Hate Snow

We are suppose to have a snow storm here tomorrow. The same day as the Detroit Sounds and Spirits show.

Argh.
Why can't it wait until Saturday to storm??

Oh well, I am going to wait and see what happens. Maybe it will all blow over us! :)

Anyway, today has just been a weird day.
I haven't gotten a single thing done. Well, I did make some cookies for the crossing guard, Janice, down the street. She bought Chloe the cutest stocking filled to the brim with treats and sweaters! She also bought toys for all the kids that she helps cross the street every day! What a sweet lady. So Chloe and I made her some cookies, and gave her a Christmas card :)

Speaking of Chloe...guess who has been immortalized once again? Yup! Baloney and all.
Leigh Jackson of Noisy Dog Studio painted Chloe from one of the pictures I have on my Flickr page! So cute! I think I may have found my Christmas present to myself :)

Anyway, hope everyone is having a good Thursday!! One week to go until Christmas!!
