Nuts....

There are three squirrels that visit our deck every day....they come to check and see if I've left any nuts for them.

I decided to see what one of them would do if they could see the walnuts...but not be able to reach them. I left the nuts on the inside window sill and waited. This poor squirrel is looking at them like...."Really lady....how mean can you be?!"

(I did give the nuts to him...I felt guilty.)

The Last Christmas Angel....

This is the last of my four paperpieced Christmas Angels. All dressed up in her warmest coat and holding her pet bunny...she's been playing in the snow that the littlest angel made.

The Third Christmas Angel...

The third Christmas Angel is the youngest....she's just learning her angelic duties. For her first job...God told her to make it snow.....

The Second Christmas Angel....

This is the second Christmas Angel....she's been busy baking cookies.

Christmas Angels......

There are a lot of them floating around this time of year.....some of them are friends that we see every day...some are invisible...and some are paper.

This paper angel is from my Paper Piecing Class at CraftFancy this afternoon. You'll see her sisters soon.

The Oddbod Chair Design Unique by Javier Alejandre

It´s made in rotomoulded PET and pine legs. Spanish designer Javier Alejandre has created the Oddbod Chair. The chair plays at the boundary between an inert object such as a chair and to give life to this object. The formal inspiration are the weird sci-fi movies of the mid-twentieth century design and retrofuturistic organic design tendences.

The Larix House a Interior Design by Corvin Cristian

The old wood boat sheds on the neighboring Snagov Lake inspired the shape and materials of the house. Architect Corvin Cristian has completed the Larix House in Snagov, Romania. The lot is narrow thus generating the plan and position. For intimacy reasons, the street elevation is totally opaque while the openings abound towards the courtyard. Sun protection is provided by exterior electric aluminum blinds that slide underneath the wood facade when not in use.

The Thonet chairs, the ottoman inspired sofa from Autobahn, the reclaimed wood coffee table or the Matthew Hilton “Oscar” armchairs are a counterpoint to the white minimal space. The walls are to be filled with a collection of paintings. In the austere geometry of the house introduced some “romantic” elements as the curved balcony handrail or the 1900 colored concrete tiles.
