Tall Bistro Table

What a cozy little spot to land for supper with a friend. I just finished this piece. The piping on the back was a small labor of love. This piece has a faint robin egg blue on the bottom that was sealed with the same stain that finished the tops. I just think she'd make a sweet addition to a room with glorious lighting! Streams of sun beam on in!

Saxaphone Sings down the Street

One of my favorite things to do on a lazy Sunday is stroll down to Jazz in the Park. Hundreds of people come and picnic for the evening. I love what different crowds it brings. Games, kids, wine, families, dancing. What a treat it is to sit amongst friends, in the Colorado breeze, a picnic of wine and treats with faint jazz serenading us.

This is a painting I did for my brother, who I consider a lover of jazz. Its a big piece that resides in his little Dallas abode...

Two of my favorite girls came to visit me for a Denver slumber party! This was not our first and surely will not be our last! These two girls kept me busy after school every day during college.
They are 2 of the smartest, and might I say wittingly entertaining! We made a stromboli creation and raspberry pie! They donned the classy aprons and we feasted out on the porch for the evening! So happy they were able to come and retreat from the Texas heat! Can't wait for the next slumber party!

Meet Millie

This is my newest finished project. She is a sweet little bedside table with a classy new knob to add interest. I love how the stain took to both the top and the body, creating a really lovely depth to the turquoise color! I think she's just lovely.



















this is her before shot:

Steamboat Marathon Weekend!

Friday afternoon we packed up the car and drove up to Steamboat. The scenery was just exquisite, we weren't quite sure if we were even still in Colorado. Snow still on the mountain tops but lush green valleys from the water run off and the perfect mixture of sun on your face and a breeze to keep you cool. We made exception dinners both Friday and Saturday night out on the deckas we hoped to carbo-load to keep our bodies movin' come Sunday. Not to mention water intake that left our tummies sore.


Saturday we woke up, garage sale shopped, walked around town, and found a little hike at Fish Creek Falls to get ourselves acclimated to the altitude. Hiking in snow in chacos was not, however, all that optimal.

Sunday was race day and we got bussed up to Lake Steamboat and dropped off. The road back was serene to say the least, though, it didn't quite relieve the pain of actually running the whole 26.2 miles. We all finished in under 4 hours and 30 minutes and couldn't have been prouder.

This was the after photo when we got back to the condo. We were a bit wiped.

Two new additions this week!

Just a little drizzly day out...which makes for a plan to tuck away in my
abode with a book, candles, coffees, and a day for painting!
