a little touch of weird never hurt anyone

I have a little bit of a problem.

I always build a plan for projects but as the process unfolds I get over excited and stray from the plan.

I've learned best from mistakes made that this is something to be avoided.

Continuity is key in all art.

I'm so happy to see how others can hold off on their additive quirk until the end of a project.

I think everyone should add a dash of their own brand of weird in a project.

It's the quirks that make things interesting and welcoming in my opinion. 

 The firearms and fish make things light and a bit laughable: I Love!

I may not be down with the gilded guy on the console but the pup photo is a success in my book.

I feel like poop today. 

I lost my voice the other day and now the only noise i have is a goose honk. All I want is to be in in a cuddly bed.

This may be as good a spot as any to blog from.

There's a little eye candy for entertainment and lots of pillows to find my one weird comfortable spot.

maybe a few more 'chachkis' tho to look at...like

and

i could also be here for the day

in some punjammies

sipping some really hot hot chocolate or lemon water

Or I could cuddle up for a good nap in this rainy day-appropriate bedroom

lookin' at you, kid...

 (maybe with a dark patina-ed bronze frame)

Hindi Zahra - Beautiful Tango

bijou

I don't know about you but this Thursday's been a slow day for me.

I needed a little punch of color and happy. Here's what perked up my attitude this afternoon...

 

and finally,

 

happy evening!!
