I was once lucky enough to have a roommate that could paint and sew and fix things, and who made everything look lovely all the time. Our house was covered in western-themed works of art, photos printed directly onto blocks of wood, and her bedroom featured bedding and lampshades she made herself. In short, she is more productive in a day than I am in a month.
She’s since moved on to her own home with her family, and her ability to create has exploded. In addition to all that she makes herself, she has started trading her work with other artists in shows. Her walls are now covered in art. And to top it off, she has a husband who has built all sorts of colorful outdoors decor – including a little welding he just picked up, for some homemade yard art.
Every time I’m there I wish I had a camera. I brought one with me over for dinner on what turned out to be one of our only cold winter nights this year (so far). I got so caught up in the good company that I didn’t do much of a job taking any photos, but here’s a very small peak, anyway.

why not brighten up your yard with a toilet bowl planter?
why have white shoes when you could color them in dragon?
