Let's Bring More Love!!!!!!

Art & Stone

I've had a love affair with tile for some time now. It started about ten years ago when we laid our first bathroom floor. When I say we I really mean my husband. I watched with enthusiasm and supported the effort with cheering and a sandwich when requested. Since then we have finished many projects for ourselves and others but I was in tile Nirvana when we came across Pratt & Larson Tile and Stone in Bellevue, WA. We spent hours looking and feeling, I know weird, for hours. Now completely obsessed I have learned a lot about the owners and it is an artists dream. I won't recap but encourage you to go to their website and discover for yourself. www.prattandlarson-wa.com

This tile looked exactly like wood straight off the beach

My mind raced with plans for these two pieces

This was my favorite. I could not stop touching it. It would be an awesome back splash for the kitchen. But, hold on, it was a $80. a square foot! Soooo worth it!

New Website

I feel a little bit professional now. Finally I created a website and hopefully it will be the central spot for all my creative craziness. What I am the most excited about is my Feel Good Be Good Do Good part of business. I hope to bring a little bit of happiness to people that are going through such a difficult time. The process is simple. Each piece of work is dedicated to a specific story. When you purchase the art, you get something but most importantly, the recipient gets the profit. I can't wait!  www.aspotofcolor.com

The 4-Hour Guru

I'm very excited to get my hands on a copy of The 4-Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss. My son gave me a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek and I was obsessed. Next came the 4-Hour Body which truly changed the way I viewed eating and exercise. He is the perfect human experiment. He does all the work so that we don't have to. We can just take in the info and run with it to make our own lives better. I'm not sure what the publishing controversy is all about, but I will buy the book.

I love to cook so I'm anxious to read what this is all about.

Today I found two new things for my faves list. First, I am obsessed with cool fonts, lettering and artful writing. Well I found someone that makes a living doing what I love. Her name is Jessica Hische and she is a type designer. Check out her blog. She is my kind of fun! jessicahische.is

I discovered this song today. It's called Radiation by Gavin DeGraw. I'm drawn to different voices. His is sexy, soulful, and SEXY! gavindegraw.com
