a moment with e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

wallpaper!

Hey, check out what my awesome mom and I did this weekend...

I certainly wouldn't have been able to do it without her. She's fierce! So fierce that this pic turned out blurry--from the sheer force of her power!

I'm totally painting that little light fixture lime green...party time!

hairspray attack!

Sure, I had better things to do with my time. But Halloween is coming...I had to practice potentials 'dos! It was the responsible thing to do.

And to be honest, I've always wanted to have hair that could do this...and, well, now that I can...

home decor delights

Well, at long last, here's my sewing room--all painted and purdy. Specifically, everyone needs to see my awesome red wall! And... the vintage pattern pics. Love it!

And here's the spectacle that was repainting my kitchen cabinet doors. I don't recommend jury-rigging a spray booth in your garage the way we did, but hey--we got 'er done! And the kitchen looks fabulous. Doors and handles, now--as of this weekend. The squarish ones, for those of you who came to my open house and "voted" for different handles.
