Yep.

That “more chins than a Chinese phone book” line from my video would have been highly questionable.

One thing I’ve always wanted, since I lost it as a kid, and have finally recaptured…

I now have wood burning in my fireplace.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? :wink:

One kid napped, and the other didn’t. So I built the napping one her new LEGO table. We’re leaving for the holidays Tuesday, so I think I’ll tell her Sant came early because he was worried about delivering her big gift.

I’m glad the kid napping worked out so well for you

One of the ongoing fights between my husband and I during our time together was about furniture, decorating, and our home. It was so important to me, and instead of working with me he fought me tooth and nail.

When I moved to Chattanooga, I found that creating a beautiful space was so important that I found a way to get it done really fast. Today I took delivery on part 1 of a custom woodworking order, which also includes a coffee table and bed. Today it was a total of 10 shelves - 4 here and 6 in my guest bedroom (not yet styled but photos later).

These are cherry, from a local farm. GORGEOUS. And displayed on them my favorite artists - top shelf - plates by Tord Boontje (small blue plate by my daughter in his style), bottom - my daughter’s pottery. On cabinet - metal sculpture by my daughter.

All I can say is living well is the best revenge. I am so happy and excited to see all this beauty in my own space. :heart:

I love those plates! I remember when you first posted about them. It looks like the apartment is really coming together.

Me too!! They are amazing. These are just the large plates I barely use. My daily service is also from the series. I can’t wait to post more pics as the place gets put together. This place is going to be more beautiful than I ever imagined.

My coffee table and bathroom shelves come in 2 weeks and we will see when the bed comes together - but sneak peek design inspo below. Word is that the wood is walnut with very dark wood and light sap for variation with a great rough live edge. I’m super excited to see it. Currently drying in a kiln in Nashville.

With the except of one class (4.3) all my evals were 4.7 or above… one was 4.9!

So, I’m not a total loser!

I’m trying to help Surviving Dog lose some weight. So I’ve been running her a 5k every morning, then taking myself another 5k every other morning. She seems much happier, and I feel pretty good, too. We’re trying to get into new household routines for when school resumes in two weeks. I used to get up at 5 every day. I think it’s still going to be a while before that’s possible with the baby, but if my husband can have the kids en route to school reliably and I can be running by 7:30, it should all work out.

I also had a software paper accepted. :tada:
