Last Sunday, I mentioned being very bad at being lazy. I got to thinking about this over the last week, and I think it's more a matter of valuing the projects that I work on. I've been fairly busy lately working on all kinds of things. So, here's a little bit of show and tell . . .
The photo above is of two little lanterns that I want to hang up in my room. I painted them white thinking that might look pretty cool, but they wound up looking insufferably dull. So, I decided to enlist my younger sister Lloyda to help eradicate the dullness. They are not finished yet, but they are looking much better already.
Here is an action shot of the festivities . . .
Earlier in the day, I wanted to paint several items in my room white. I've been wanting to transform my room into a more clean and modern home with warm colors splashed here and there and very little, if any, clutter. So, I grabbed several of my storage containers that are all different colors.
Before . . . .
During . . .
And AFTER . . . .
Don't they look all shiny and new? Now this will let all of the items they contain stand out better and allow for more visual balance in my room. (You can tell I've been watching HGTV more than I should.)
I need to remember to always prime a surface before painting. The paint on the formerly green basket that I use to keep my yarn in is chipping off a good bit. :-(
I am about to embark on a much bigger new project actually that is separate from all of my musical exploits. I'll have more on this later.
I guess I've always been very self-motivated to do the things that I love; however, this does come with a price. I have less time to watch tv (which I do enjoy) and even less time to spend with friends (making the time I do spend with them MUCH more valuable). In the end, I've learned the value of having a good balance even though I will admit that I am a bit of a workaholic.
So there. If you're not gonna be lazy, then do something you love.
Sounds good to me.
