Moody With A Side Of Maximalism

 This swatching business 

Is so exciting 

Beyond just fun changes 

It gives one ideas…

Since Halloween is coming up…

One could just smear this 

Antique Ruby 

Red paint 

By Behr 

With drips and hand prints

All down the hallway…

Maybe…

Why not…

We shall see…

&

In my mood 

For the darkened pallet of maximalism 

And the style of things

I have been editing my wardrobe as well…

That picture is…

I believe 

A Ralph Lauren look

Mebbe 

From 2010…?

Lots of snuggles were given…

As I was fated to sit

In utter convalescence 

All of last week 

With my muscles in a twisted 

Mass of wretched 

Torture 

With every waking moment 

Being and endless wait

Until the next issued 

Protocol could be administered 

In hopes 

Of untangling 

The knots 

Holding me captive…

Of course my imagination 

And deep connection 

To the collective unconscious 

Drove me into

The beginnings of yet another 

Manuscript…

The Black Roses

Well, if that isn’t a welcoming sign…

I don’t know what is…

So I climbed inside

Another story

Hoping 

That I can retell it 

For all to enjoy.

I keep promising more poetry…

What say you?

Dearest 

Entities & Beings?

Yes…?

For now, 

Thankfully Yours,

Couching it!

All of the rearranging 

Master Kit approves…

But!

I’m  Taking the day off!

And there’s nothing like a crippling 

Back spasm 

To ensure that you stay put.

I made it so far 

In the final stages 

Of the studio set up

But

I guess running myself ragged 

For two weeks in a row 

Wasn’t exactly smart

Considering 

Of course 

That my back was already 

Compromised…

And, instead of continuing on my quest

I am 

Adjusting pillows 

Heat pads

Ice pack at 2pm

And

Actually feeling lucky 

Because husband had a flat tire 

This morning 

And had to turn back home…

His quest to get a fix will be explored more tomorrow 

Fingers crossed 

Must’ve been the full moon 

At least all of our color changing bulbs work

Speaking of bulbs!

I ordered some!

Ack! 

Got to get better quick!

I have bulbs to plant!!!

I always forget how loopy I get

The endorphins 

The pain

The lack of a Goodnights sleep 

Makes me so tired and hungry!!!

And I can’t wait to get to the new can of paint 

… Antique Ruby…

I should get back to my YouTube as well…

Omg I almost sneezed!

So painful!!!

Must go get that ice pack…

New Obsessions: Manor Core & Autumn Moods

 Manor Core...?

Is this the grown up/ old money eccentric version of Cottage Core that I've been waiting for...?

We Shall See...

I always had the want for a very tidy mud room/entryway...

but these lil cluttery bits of goodness just charmed me 

in the oddest of ways.

The boots all in a line...

The baskets and barn jackets galore...

and the pupps in wait of a good walk...

like the first pic... 

c'mon, lets go!!!

But before you enter... here's the facade...

I think its time we upgrade...

I think we could give this a try....

This was my digital mocking of the situation...

I always thought that black houses were neat, but for some reason

it was as though something said that I wasn't worthy...

that is for what I know as fact...

one hundred percent 

a lie

I CAN HAVE A BLACK HOUSE...

remember that time I painted the shed black...

its still a ramshackle shed...

but it sure looks fancy now...

Paint It Black

But back to Manor Core...

These layery bedding and heavy drapes scapes 

are just hitting in the excitement zone...

must start implementing these elements now!

Already started with the dark and moody in the front room...

I took my pail of paint by Behr in the color Ancestry Violet

and added in a bit of black to dusky it up...

Looks more like the shade Gothic Amethyst now... 

I'll take it.

Master Kit is totally approving of it in his lil chair...

Just waiting for us to settle in with our snacks,

so he can tell us a story...

Don't worry I wrote it all down so that I can retell it to you all...

soon...
