Ode to the pink panther...

Do you love the pink panther? I do.

My dad has worked for Owens Corning as long as I can remember. I grew up stealing my dad's pink panther t-shirts, hats, doll okay dad didn't play with him he just sat him on a shelf. I think my dad even had a toy semi truck with the panther and a company logo on it. Anyway I digress. The pink panther is fun. he's pink, he's happy. When it came time to insulate my studio I had a major problem.....to be pink or not to be pink that was the question. This dilemma was HUGE support the company who fed me, clothed me etc. etc. or go the the competition!!!!! Oh the agony the soul searching...okay maybe that plus a lot of price checking. Finally you can see the results of Johns hard work and OCD tendancies in this beautiful ode to pink. P.S. my favorite thing about insulation is it make's my studio WARM

Jon will make fun of the fact that I forgot to rotate this photo but I promise I'm just soooo tired and I knew if I didn't just do it it wouldn't happen. So while IMing with some of my siblings I made sure to post. Enough about me check out my husbands beautiful technique...don't see it well all the the lettering is going the same way on the walls and the ceiling he has some serious skills.

My attempt at an art shot. No flash. Looks like cotton candy or clouds on a foreign planet.

See I didn't go to the dark side. I went PINK!!!!

Tomorrow I'll show you John' beautiful work on the ceiling. Think pink! ~Susan

I giggled and giggled when I saw this clip. Just how my life's been going lately. Don't worry no interventions needed,Kate, Sydney, and the little tyrant named Paige...WELLLLL. ~Susan

Happy crafting.

I know how this guy feels. Just so everyone knows that New Year's Eve snowfall didn't happen. We ended up with two inches....had a couple of sad little girls.

John and our friend Rick(Charlene Schumaker's husband) have been working a lot in the garage/studio. It's hard to turn a bare space into something livable with no budget. Thank goodness the workforce likes to be paid in Cocomotion. Just so everyone can see we have lights(donated) a new wall and new door,(thanks Rick) and updated wiring, and insulation(skrappinguy). We may not have walls for a looong time but at least we'll be cozy. And if you want to know what I'm doing with the floor I have no idea working on walls first,

one panel at a time.

I've been making aprons for Christmas. Here are two out of five in the teal and brown color combination. I'll have to ask my sisters of photos of the pink and green aprons I've already gifted to them.

On Christmas Eve John was filling the girls stockings and I saw him empty and then throw away this box. I almost had a heart attack.
"John wait, STOP, back away from the garbage."

This is the beginning of a fun little gift box I am creating.
Inspired by the Sweet Candy Companies packaging.

I'll let you see this when it's completed.

Can't wait to see what I do with it myself.

Happy New Year's ~Susan
