Thrilling Thursday

I've been learning this. Even when you don't feel like anything has changed.  Every day is new.

Thrilling Thursday

And, we are going to ease on back to this blogging thing.  Starting today. :)  There is an awful lot about this picture I love.  But the best thing is that brick wall!

I was just here!  And the photos turned out pretty good, if I may say so myself!

Dreaming...

Thrilling Thursday

I'm still fascinated by art and artwork and today's Thrilling Thursday is no exception.

Following up on my summer list from yesterday.  Loving this painting.

It's Thursday

No thrilling or throwback Thursday today!  But I thought I'd at least write something!  But first, I can't write without a picture - so here you go!   Wednesday was Administrative Professionals Day - and these beauties arrived first thing!  I love having fresh flowers on my desk.  I swear the make me more productive!  Or at least they give my eyes a break from the computer.  

time: quitting time.  at least from my office.  I'm about to head out to dinner with a friend.

drinking: water.  lots and lots of water.  But only in with crushed ice.  Ever since I was sick in February I much have ice.  I guess I just got in the habit.

watching: not much.  I just finished the first season of Orphan Black.  I need something new.

loving: sunshine.  and warmish breezes.  even though there is pollen.

thinking: about how a big, behind the scenes change is happening when it comes to my free time.  It's bittersweet, but I'm more happy than sad.

needing: a new mattress.  right now.  the idea of making the decision is daunting, but I'm just going to have to get over it.

making: a few things every once in a while, but not terribly motivated.  I've got ideas...but am struggling to make what I create look like those ideas in my head.  But I know I tend to work in phases like this.  inspiration will hit soon, I'm sure of it.  

enjoying: sleep.  oh, how I am enjoying sleep.  and greek salads.  and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Thrilling Thursday

Today is Thrilling Thursday, but instead of a inspiring design photo, I'm sharing a layout.  It's thrilling to me, because I had one of my most productive crafty days last weekend.  And I'm happy to share!  This is also one my first official "mixed-media" layouts as there is some serious Gelato action going on in the background. :)

Thrilling Thursday

That ceiling is awfully moody for me - but somehow it just works.  I love the shadows on the ceiling!

I've been geeking out on art lately.  And this painting keeps catching my eye.  It's so lovely.  Too bad it's sold.  I'd "settle" for this one by the same artist.

I'm definitely craving spring and bright colors!

Thrilling Thursday

Iced in and feeling a little chilly.  

That combined with my current desire for a bit of travel is making me dream of places like this.

It's time!

Happy Thursday!  It's a snowy, icy day here in Georgia.  I hope you and yours are warm and safe!

This makes my organized, industrial, neutral with a pop of color self extremely happy!

Thrilling Thursday

The more I look at these plumbing pipe shelving units, the more I'm convinced one would be perfect on the last remaining empty wall in my house.  But bigger than this one.  I should just bite the bullet!

Thrilling Thursday

So much to love about this.  Vintage, industrial shelving, globes and printed map tray, old books, vintage cameras.  Love, love, love.

Color, color, everywhere.
