Just Checking In

October 8, 2010 at 6:51 pm by Claudia

Just thought I’d check in and say hello. I’m still in the midst of finishing the “Painting of the Table.” I’ve put on 2 coats of Varathane poly and have 1 more to go. Although I’m not supposed to resume normal use for 3 days, I hope to snap a few photos and post the before and after this weekend. I am very happy with the new look!

I took this photo of Miss Scout a day or so ago. I was impressed with her ability to arrange herself just so. I think she knows she’s pretty, don’t you?

    This made me laugh…definitely a poser, and color coordinated to boot.

    Scout is squinting at you a bit, like she wants you to go away so that she can sleep in peace on her pretty pillow. She looks so comfortable.

    She is looking right at the camera as if she wants you to come cuddle with her.

    How does she stay so WHITE! You must bathe her constantly – she is beautiful, and yes, I suspect she knows it!! I’m sure she hears it all the time from you and Don.

    Looking forward to seeing the table!… Donna

    Scout certainly can pose. She is beautiful Claudia. I love it when they cozy up on the sofa, don’t you?
    Can’t wait to see the table. I have been painting for days too, and I am so tired of it all. But, I do love the end result.
    hugs to you!

    She’s just a cutie!! Love the photo of the two dogs on your sidebar. That table is going to look lovely. It’s a lot of work though isn’t it? I am painting my last door today…’sigh’…now on to the outside of the door frames. You do great work Claudia!

    Good Morning Claudia Sweetie…
    What a beautiful share. I simply adore this photo of Miss Scout. She is SO beautiful and do her eyes just not look at you with adoration? She loves you sweet friend. She was just there posing away for you.

    Can’t wait to see the table. I just know it will be beautiful as you have such a way with furniture. You bring it to life.

    Thank you again for sharing. I hope you have a beautiful weekend. I was so thrilled to read about Riley too. God Bless her little heart. She is certainly struggling and with you all going into winter months, oh my. You have a busy season ahead of you sweetie. I will be keeping you in my prayers.

    Many hugs and SO much love, Sherry

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
