Architect I Am Not



When I saw this building,


I knew I wanted to take photos of it.


I had been looking for 
Interesting Architecture for the 30 Days of Lovely Photo Challenge.




Later, I remembered why we bought our house, because of the architecture.
 


Ceiling in the kitchen,



I wanted to get a photo of
the kitchen window seat,
 but now I see,
the table is in the way.


Windows in the living room.


Living room ceiling and window.


Art/music room ceiling.

I store my acoustic guitar in the window seat.


Window seat in art/music room.


Ceiling in the bedroom.


Bay window in the bedroom.


Now for some fashion inspired
by architecture.

.."And I am nothing of a builder


But here I dreamt I was an architect 

And I built this balustrade 
To keep you home, to keep you safe 
From the outside world 
But the angles and the corners 
Even though my work is unparalleled 
They never seemed to meet 
This structure fell about our feet 
And we were free to go"...

tired ballerinas


I wished I taken these photos of my twin nieces, but I live too far away.

"Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band


Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man

Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand



And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God

Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad




Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium

Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums


But oh how it feels so real 
Lying here with no one near

Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

http://www.etsy.com/listing/77350255/

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway


Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

That's me pretending
 I can dance,in my 1st grade Christmas program.



Doesn't it just make you,

want to put on a tutu?

all the small things


  from the 
30 Days of Lovely.



Teeny, tiny, teacher, bear,
in heart shaped box.

Look at how small,
 the bear is, in my hand.

I think of this as a minature picnic setting.

Sitting in my kitchen.

These are teeny tiny doll shoes.

These shoes are NOT.


Small things




















I thought this polish
 
would be a pale yellow.

 I didn't want this bright
color, so I returned it.    :-p



This is a small photo
of my guy, in a teeny tiny
teddy bear photo frame.

You've seen this t-shirt before here.

I bought it when I was
at this concert.



Yesterday we saw the movie
 
Horrible Bosses.Painted on a car window,
 in front of us:

"You did it Ethan.
You are now a 10 yr. old
cancer survivor."



It made me happy,
yet sad, at the same time.


I've had these earrings, since college.


Bracelets piled in my skirt.





Guess who?

Is anybody else,  wearing the same hairstyle,they had in 3rd grade?


I so wish my life was like this song.


..."Remember when you were young

you'd lose yourself.
In the morning
you know you won't
remember a thing.
In the morning,
you know it's gonna be alright."...
