About 1/3 of today's sign projects overflowing the dining room table. Almost a dozen pizza boxes, and not a sliver of pepperoni to be seen. That's just wrong. |
Artgirls come in all sizes. |
Future floor painter? |
She definitely has the jeans of a floor painter, now. |
Designing requires serious concentration. |
Dana didn't spend a lot of time playing with toys while she was here. Maybe if I had started like this at age 3, I could pound in a straight nail today. |
Just like my regular Artgirls, Dana played me some pretty good notes on the old piano. |
If she lived close enough, Dana would be my youngest Artgirl. She has an insanely long attention span, a full vocabulary, which she isn't hesitant to use (she has great mastery of the "well, yeah" that indicates you have just asked the most moronic of obvious questions), and excellent logic and fine motor skills. She and I built a cardboard model car (her backpack of toys contained about a dozen toy cars, and four fairies), and though I was a bit taxed by the instructions, she sailed right through matching up part numbers and fitting tiny tabs into slots.
Peggy and her fabric collage moon. |
Today it was back to work for me, and with taking time off, I'll have to be up in just a few hours in order to finish all the sign orders in time, but it was so worth it. The whole point of having the home of your dreams is to have a place to live out your dreams with the people you love. Belle Ami was filled to overflowing with the dreamiest of love, and the loveliest of dreams, this week. Bliss.
