yesterday, i painted the bedroom finally! celadon...same but different than before. perhaps i have more green than necessary in the house, but i am pretty sure you cannot have too much green. this will have tomato red compliments when i am done, much like my one-eyed monster, which i found under the bed :) he he! that is hilarious, now that i come to think of it.
i also thrifted a wonderful "happy painter" painting yesterday! $26! i have been looking FOR EVER for a cool vintage painting, but many seem to be made of cardboard, and just not interesting to look at. i saw this one and it drew me in right away...look at the tiny little house! and the trees and the cute path leading somewhere GOOD. i laid on the couch and looked at it for 3 hours straight last night.
oh. and it's a real painting, not a print. cannot read the signature, but thank you unknown happy painter! your mission is complete.
then today, i went to church and brunch with a friend, and came home to can 8 qts of tomato juice. kind of took the lazy route there, but it will serve me well to make my famous tomato basil soup this winter...schwew. right now, i am going to lay on the couch and get ready for DESIGN star!! and thank the Lord for giving us rest. i hope you all are resting and relaxing and rejuving too :)

Yay tomato juice!
One more quart of pickles and 5 of tomato and green pepper sauce, it's gonna be a great winter...
I love the green and the monster:)
tomato and green pepper sauce?
explain, please :)
Good grief. What exactly was relaxing about THAT weekend? Painting, first off, is NOT relaxing. Canning, fun but also not relaxing. BTW, what do you do with the tomatoes when you've stolen their juice?
LOVE that one-eyed monster and his hiding place. :-)
well, i guess it goes back to the week i had last week. very frustrating part of my job is that sometimes, all i do is TALK about what i'm going to do, and don't get to actually do anything.
i think i was relaxed by actual accomplishment. and by nobody standing behind me telling me to do it differently.
you use a sieve to press the tomato juice, so actually you only have seeds and skins left at the end if you are doing it correctly. my juice is practically SAUCE, it's very thick. once again, accomplishment. feels alot better than laying around sometimes!
Gotcha. I was frustrated by lack of forward-progress this weekend. The flipping house projects never, ever end. So glad you accomplished something.
Were these your tomatoes? I'm afraid there will be no canning over here this year. I made a half-batch of the Wonderful Salsa (now half gone) and am down to one ripe Roma and two measly cherries. More will come, but I see us eating them quickly and having none to spare. I almost bought some today, but then decided I'm much too much of a Tomato Farmer to BUY tomatoes.
oh how i love your little happy house painting too!! It looks great where you have it hanging too :)
