The dining room walls are all done and boy do they look beautiful. I’ve just about fixed all the trim in the room/hallway/foyer. That will be done this week, likely this night.

I did a piece for last week’s Illustration Friday under the topic of “Foggy” but never got it posted up. I was on vacation. I have an excuse.  I do have this week’s finished, just nowin fact, under the topic “Enough.” It is dedicated to my friend Lydia because it’s been that sort of month for her. I’ll say more when I post it. It’s done in acrylics, which is the first time I’ve done that for IF, I think. I did it in my watercolor notebook, of all things, and it’s just black and white. You’ll see. I like it. It has one of my new fancy cartoonish characters in it. And an origami bird.

I have several new art pieces done at home that I desperately need to get photographed and posted. I am so very, very proud of them. I’m getting ready to hang them up, in fact, in the dining room. They are going to look supa-dupa-fine.

My husband’s sister is coming to live with us for a couple of months starting at the beginning of August, just days before my 29th birthday. I’m very much excited because I like her a lot and I hope we can become friends. It is going to be fun, and a little strange. We’re used to having someone stay the night every once and a while, but to have someone there all the time will be odd.

We got to go to a sneak peek of “The Dark Knight” last week. It was incredible. Loved the movie so much. Go see it. Go see it now.
