i think so too, i flet very comfortable around him, he didnt just assume anything, asked a ton of questions, even down to the realy "which direction does the pain hit, where does it go, what does it feel like...he seemed to be realy ontop of it, taking notes al the way along instead of just standing there like "yeah shut up so we can get this over with"
in other news, nekkid pupy whent home yesterday, very excited since that means my temptation to keep her is now gone lol.
just 2 puff girls left and emailing with a few people. realy hoping theyll go home before the end of this week comming so i ca claim my livingroom back.
baby kittens are also doing well, they are eating wet food much better and picking at the dry food and drinking water...so thats good. gotta get them weighed and see where were standing. they cant be spay/nuetered untill they reach 2lbs...there somewhere in the 4-5 week range right now so im hoping no more than 4 more weeks...
not because i dont like them, but because i realy need to get some stuff done in the house and cant do much with them runing around. lol.
once they go i want to get that back bedroom painted, clean the carpet since i cant afford to replace it yet and then move the set of drawers in that are currently taking up extra space in my bedroom.
once that rooms painted and arranged i can make a countertop for the craft space and actually USE my craft room as a craft room lol
once thats done im starting on the bathroom. the board behind the shower is going (usda funds or not ill sell a kidney if i have to, its realy ycuky) and the sinks comming out, the bathroom will get painted, new cabinates and sink, new tile around the shower and if i can swing it, tile on the floor (if not ill paint the linolium thats in there or something because the floor is also yucky lol)
USDA lady comes on tuesday to make a list of imediate need jobs and sign off o things, then its just a case of waiting for the approval. septic tank comes first, then probably door and window in the kitchen, once door and window is done ill repaint (got enough paint) and put in the backsplash and that room will be done.
ive also started some outside patio projects ive wanted to work on for some time now...
im making a light/art peice, when mum and dad came to visit we sat out to grill and eat but it was too dark once the sun set to do anythign out there even wit a ire lite in the pit...
so over the ast few months ive been gathering parts.
picked up 2 shelf brakets and a shop light, but shop lights are ugly and i LOVE backlit art peices i couldnt afford plexie (was going to do a stained "glass" peice, so instead i thought..hmmm...canvas...
i wanted a BIG peice...and a 6x4 canvas was going to cost me almost $200 with shipping...
so off to lowes where i picked up some 1x2 pine and corner braces...
and goodwill where i got a twin white sheet for a little over $1
and tada a canvas, its not galery stretch condition and without the center braces its a little bowed but i didnt want cross peices that would mess with the effect.
got that hung infortn of the light (theres a few inches between the light and the canvas to avoid heat issues)
today i "stained" the sheet wit some very watered down acrylic paint, i need th elight to shine through most of the peice so didnt want to just paint...the color wash is umber and sienna so it gives that warm earthy tone, and being its a wash the light shoudl shine through.
the rest of the peice will be black acrylic paint i want to silohueete a modified tree of life...so when back lit the "sky" behind the tree will glow...
i also want to put in some little details that you wont see untill the light is lit...i think the only way im going to be able to do it how im envisioning it is by picking up some white card stock (or brown paper bags) cutting out the shapes i want to show only when lit and gluing them to the BACK of the canvas so when the light is on youl see them but when the light is not they hsouldnt be visable.
I want to put bats in the sky and a family fo foxes playing at the base of the tree, mabe an owl in the branches.
im also going to get some glow in the dark paint and put some fireflys in the grass, they should only show up after the light is turned off
or around christmas time ill buy a small pack of flashing white christmas lights and poke them through the canvas from the back...hmm... lol
i think when its done itll be realy cool looking.
once i get my machine back and can cash inmy swagbucks im going to order those garage door screens, i did the math and those are much cheaper than buying rols of screen and making my own screen curtains. they will get put up around the carport and that should give me a realy nice spot to sit out and chill in the eveings, bug free too! lol.
so right now the color washed sheet is drying, im hoping i can get the tree painted today
ive also got to work on getting the hosue a little tidier for the usda ladies visit lol
