That Was Fast
Sugar Maple Makeover……
Just last week…..
…and yesterday!
Today it has rained all day…again. But, the weekend was gorgeous…we needed to see some sun for a few days. I guess that was all it took to bring on the color….
Redneck Modern
I’ve had a wonderful pair of original Marcel Breuer “Wassily” chairs for many years now. These in particular have a personal and special history for us, but the Crafty Counterpart has always found them a little uncomfortable. Give him an “E” for effort… He dyed and sewed new leather to replace the missing straps himself..but alas…still, not quite right. Especially in the winter, the cold chrome freezes his legs and back (yes, they are vintage, so worn, sagging leather makes the chrome contact possible).
I guess now is as good a time as any to just go ahead and call us the redneck modernists…I did the unthinkable…I covered the gorgeous architecture that is a Wassily chair with a big honkin’ sheepskin. Bertoias are one thing..you can’t sit on waffle weave metal without waffling your ass uncomfortably…these are supposed be exempt from such ridiculous behavior….
Gotta love daytime shots with last nights wine glasses…pathetic.
If you’ve been reading, you know that, at times, I am willing to sacrifice form for function, because…oh, I want to stay married for starters. This was one of those times. I’ve never seen the CC so freakin’ excited about those chairs until the skins arrived….just in time for our first winter weather weekend. As we sat in front of the first autumn fire in our bedroom, we chillaxed…and every time I looked over, he had this big grin and said…”These are SO comfortable now.” Huh!
If Edith and Archie Bunker were redneck modernists…these would be their chairs..no meatheads allowed.
Staycation
So, by the luckiest of lucky wild and rare wonderfulness that is my lot when it comes to the following scenario….WE GOT A 5 DAY STAYCATION……WITHOUT THE MINORS. You can’t possibly know (or maybe you can) how thrilling this is.
Thing One and Thing Two have gone to spend fall break with their grandparents. It will be like before we had them…back when we could sheetrock, mud and paint a whole room in one weekend….really…remember that?!!! I could build an entire zen garden….I could….WAIT!!! Slow the hell down. Let’s get realistic. Maybe we can just paint the playroom and…what?! Crafty Counterpart wants to resupport all the roof beams in the attic? Now?! During the STAYCATION? But, but….it’s not fun…or pretty….it’s...important and that makes it all business….like school. Ack! We’ll see how the compromise works out….Things WILL be accomplished…just which things is TBD….
Mad Me
Feeling a little anxious today as the work begins outside, so I Man Men-ed myself as a fun way to relax. I think the resemblance is uncanny…I ALWAYS walk around with a dead animal around my neck and a fag in my mouth….who doesn’t?
Toykey
Well, that’s what one of The Minors calls them….and no, we never lived in any of New York’s boroughs!
Yes, dorky wildlife chick is back. It’s that time of year when the turkeys appear silently out of nowhere…in enormous numbers. Love it. Still trying to get just the right picture of them en masse….these are only a portion of the groups they travel in lately.
