decking the walls

i may not be ready to give y'all a recap of last week's house concert yet, but i would love to share bits of loveliness that have found new homes around casa hart.

my word of the year embroidery finally found a home over my desk in the studio.

these papercuts were my valentine's day gifts to the littles. (i found the free templates at this blog.)




yes, it took us three months to hang these.  projects are not quick here.  they are completed when life allows. 

if i could teach myself a new skill, it would be making my own original papercuts. i love this so much.

the spool birds and branch have relocated their nest to the attic.

and in their place, the dining room is getting a facelift.  the plan for this wall was dreamed up about a year ago.  i told you we weren't quick.  my mother's day request was that we start working on it.  maybe it will be finished by the end of the summer?

how long does it take you to get a project from start to finish?
from idea to finished product?
what slows you down?
time?  money?  inspiration?

can i give you some encouragement here?  your home is most lovely when you work with what you have.  i don't even need to see it to know that.  fill your home with Love and the rest will follow.
