The first coat of paint is on the formerly green walls in the family room and the formerly rag rolled walls in the entry. We think it's a huge improvement already. The color is Behr's "Manhattan Mist". It's a little more blue and less grey than I expected, but we really like the color.
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress -- Through a rotating carousel theater, this attraction carries seated guests into the homes of four generations of the same family from the days before electricity to the present day.
After a brief introduction, your theater rotates to reveal Act I, set around Valentine's Day around the turn of the century. After our host, John, tells the audience about the current state of modern conveniences -- all pre-electricity -- the theme music, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," plays as the theater rotates again. Act II brings us to the 1920s, and we see the family preparing for the Fourth of July celebration. The father shows off all the new electric powered conveniences, including the vacuum, electric lights, oven, and refrigerator (subsequently blowing all the fuses out in the neighborhood). Among the many other inventions spotlighted, we also see the son, Jimmy, listening to radio, on which we hear a John Philip Sousa march, and we hear about "air cooling", a fan blowing over a block of ice.
In Act III, the John of the 1940s tells us that he's entered the "Rat Race" by commuting to work, and we see the benefits of his new refrigerator and, most importantly, indoor plumbing. The theater turns one more time to reveal Act IV, with the family celebrating Christmas on the eve of the new century. The family's automated oven manages to burn the Christmas turkey to a crisp and the show concludes with a final rotation into the Finale, from which the audience is dismissed.

So after a very long 9 hour work day, the horrid, awful paint job is gone! Everything is primered and nothing is showing through. It's a miracle! The carpet has also been totally ripped out. It is so hard to believe that we signed the lease just two days ago!
Now tomorrow begins the fun stuff....I get to paint actual color on the walls that I like! Yay!!!
In Progress design sketch for the Greek Myth 'Apollo & Daphne' as part of my ongoing 'Modern interpretation of Pre-Raphaelite themes'.
Daphne is a Naiad whom the God Apollo became infatuated with after he was cursed by the God Eros for insulting his archery skills and to demonstrate the power of love's arrow. With the leaden shaft, to incite hatred, Eros shot the nymph Daphne and with the golden one, to incite love, he shot Apollo through the heart.
Apollo pursued her continually, begging her to stay, but the nymph continued her flight. They were evenly matched in the race until Eros intervened and helped Apollo gain upon Daphne. Seeing that Apollo was bound to catch her, she called upon her father Peneus to "Open the earth to enclose me, or change my form, which has brought me into this danger!"
Suddenly, her skin turned into bark, her hair became leaves, and her arms were transformed into branches. She stopped running as her feet became rooted to the ground. Apollo embraced the branches, but even the branches shrank away from him. Since Apollo could no longer take her as his wife, he vowed to tend her as his tree, and promised that her leaves would decorate the heads of leaders as crowns, and that her leaves were also to be depicted on weapons. Apollo also used his powers of eternal youth and immortality to render her ever green. Since then, the leaves of the Bay laurel tree have never known decay.

In early July, the University Place residence halls at Mississippi College remained under construction. Students expect to move in by late August.
Measure twice and cut once, this is never so important when you don't have many spares and can't run to the local lumber store for more.
First wall is up!

ISS033-E-016964 (31 Oct. 2012) --- An unpiloted ISS Progress resupply vehicle approaches the International Space Station, carrying 2,050 pounds of space station propellant, 62 pounds of oxygen, 42 pounds of air, 926 pounds of water and 2,738 pounds of spare parts, crew supplies and equipment for the Expedition 33 crew members. Progress 49 docked to the station’s Zvezda Service Module aft port at 9:33 a.m. (EDT) on Oct. 31, 2012.
It's almost finished! All I lack now is curtains and cushions for the sofa. This vintage cigar box dollhouse comes with the sofa, chair and coffee table - all hand painted and antiqued - highlighted with green crackle paint. The floor is real wood with the tiniest little "nail" holes where the pieces of wood connect. The light is LED battery operated and is held on by tacky wax so it can be moved around, as desired. The window is a classic old casement style with working panes. The exterior flowers are handmade with paper :)
Thanks for looking! Tori

This piece which uses the American mask is titled “Progress.” It depicts two female figures wearing an American mask and a rainbow mask standing in front of a mural that says in different colors “LOVE.” The idea behind the piece is the struggles and political warfare that many had to go through to get rights to love someone. It represents how America has slowly accepted gay people into the culture and made it something that is to put it simply, natural. Ever since I was younger I was always confused by the idea of love being illegal. This piece represents those thoughts that I had as a kid.
As of uploading this screen shot, the attempt to connect to Twitter is still going. About 5 minutes now. Since I am on the Dandelife site, my first reaction is that they are slow and can't get the job done. But, I know Twitter, so they could be the problem too.
But, since I get no feedback other than color-changing dandelions, I blame Dandelife. No cancel button means I have to click the Back button or close the tab and start over in order to enter my feed URLs.
