It was long time from the blog posts. Life took me into swirl. We moved into a new house full of projects. So from micro work (jewelry) I've moved to macro (new reno projects)

First : new house needed a new paint (pink and blue just didn't work for me :) 

Next: I moved to staircase update. With a big and active dog blue carpeted staircase "didn't work" nor color, nor convenience  to clean. Hardwood it is.

I don't know, but looks like a new house didn't have the vibe for jewelry making, but it brought me back to my roots - painting. Somehow I more and more was looking for easel  and canvas. Whatever works to express myself. And  poetry as usually is a major impulse for my paintings

 There is a Russian poet Elena Bocharova that hers poem just came to me very strong and very visual. I hope Google Translator will give you an understanding, because you can't translate poetry if you are not poet yourself

Somebody that knows Russian will have advantage for sure (here is the link https://www.stihi.ru/2014/11/01/8565 )

For me, please, a cup of coffee

Elena Bocharova

For me, please, a cup of coffee
And people that are real, truthful ...
Only now in what is a disaster:
I meet increasingly often fake ...

I'll have coffee with no sugar, perhaps ...
I hate masks, disguises,
And for me, obvious sting is better,
Than deadly shots in the back.

Cappuccino? Latte? No, the espresso ...
I do not build air castles :
The shortage is for sincerity, honesty,
The bust is with the false-good.

To me, please, stronger coffee ...
And do not pour honey in my ears!
If you decided to scold - what are you whispering?
"I'm sorry," and then? Spit in the soul?

Cream in coffee? No, thanks…
Justifications are always so disgusting,
To no avail this whole buffoonery:
"Sorry, I could not ..." - primitive.

For me, please, a cup of coffee
And people that are real, truthful ...
Only now in what is a disaster:
I meet increasingly often fake ...

My "baby" labradoodle Archie grew up and became very lazy man. I decided that he needs some spice in his life and convinced my family that it would help to "move" Archie from couch :) It took me some time, but I'd found very cute little "girl" and we named her Tara. She is F1B goldendoodle. She kept promise and didn't let Archie be bored (sometimes too much :)  

Even with the "Full house" , last summer all family decided - we are ready for a big challenge - first floor reno:  flooring, kitchen, popcorn ceiling, fireplace, focal wall etc...  Summer was really busy.

Some before and after: More detailed explanation will add with the next post, so some of you could use our experience in your projects
