White Sofa, Pillow, and Another New Painting...

So, since i'm feeling like the least interesting person on earth, I resorted to showing you some photos of my white sofa with pillow arrangements on it.

I guess that's one of the reasons i love a white slipcovered sofa, you can change out the pillows any time and introduce a new color into the room

Especially if i'm low on money, and can't "fill the void" with shopping...

That's what i call it when i'm feeling compelled to shop

or eat chocolate

or drink vodka

'FILLING THE VOID'

we all have some kind of a void, don't we?

 ...I remember once telling my sister how i just wanted to be happy...

and she said in the way that sisters do

"Stop trying to be happy, Nobody's happy"!

it was awesome 

i mean, isn't that smart!?

It actually made me very happy to hear that

I found this little pillow with white script at TJ Maxx

and heck, it was only $19.99

and it's down filled

I think it's cute as anything and a good price for this type of pillow

 

here it is with the cinemaScope effect in Picassa

 

kinda fun effect

 

here, wrinkley and smushed into my chair, the way it usually looks...

more sofa pics

you'll see lots of baskets everywhere, i love me some baskets!

 Here without the pink pillow

see that blue toile pillow

that is one of my favorite toile designs

it looks good with everything

 it's called

Covington Bosporus Flax

I'm kinda crushing on that new Annie Sloan fabric that  

Amy at Maison Decor will be carrying too

it's the one on the bottom right 

called Normandie Toile

yummy!

I went to her blog, and ended up seeing this moira clock from another post... 

goodness gracious, look how adorable this is

Amy sells Moira clocks, and she'll paint them for you!

oops - got a little sidetracked there...

Back to my house...

here is a little standing lamp i've been messing with forever

I see so many bloggers do amazing creative things with lampshades, but i just don't seem to be able to come up with anything that great for this lamp

I tried a burlap bow, 

copying Sissy from Sissy's Shabby Cottage

She can make anything look fabulous!

I need her here!

Anyway, my burlap bow was all floppy and messy, and it looked stupid

So i just wrapped some torn up pieces of silky pink fabric from the lining of a dress around the wire 

i can't stand the feeling of lining in clothes, i always cut it out 

 you can see the clothespins holding it all on together- 

maybe i should glue the wrapping and finish something!

ya think!??

 can't decide whether to paint the base or not...

 The roses are still being flirty and blooming their pretty little pink blooms, so i have to give audience to them of course

new dawn

 Here is my newest painting

it's 24 x 36

I do alot of  paintings of meadows, because i love a little sunlit meadow

and i think they open up a room, alot like a mirror does 

and that's all from me for now...

...the end...
