A colourful welcome
July 4th, 2011
Ive had this image, below, for a while now (and unfortunately didnt make a note of where it is or where I discovered it) and Ive been waiting for an opportunity to share it with you. The entrance to your home is just as important as the interior, as it is the very first thing a person sees and first impressions are important.
Depending on were you live and whether you rent or are a home owner, there tends to be a limit on what changes you can make to the exterior. However, a lick of colourful paint on the door and a few potted plants carefully placed around the doorstep could be all you need to add to create that welcoming vibe!

My Journey As A Scroll Saw Pattern Designer #390: Lots of Little Things Accomplished

I had a really good day yesterday. I cleaned up a lot of odds and ends and got things set up for the 72 skating pond sets that I need to cut. The setting up part is not my favorite. I have sheets of 30 x 30 1/8 Baltic Birch plywood that I am using for the figures.
New north part of the Highline in New York city
The Highline in New York city is one of the best experiences in town at the moment. While in New York for the DesignBoost-NYC event at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum we went to see the new north part.
