We finally had to stretch H's bassinet into the bigger crib size. R and K worked on it together a few days ago. I made them wait until I'd snapped a few pictures to remember the "baby nook" by. It is so fascinatingly bitter-sweet how fast they grow. By-the-by I'm pretty proud about how we were able to convert the study/guest room into a sweet space for our baby girl. More on that another time (hopefully after finding art for the walls and making pillows, but we'll see how long that takes;-)). In other news: finally found the perfect spot for this pillow-frame(?) thingy I insisted on buying at Goodwill two years ago. It's floated about the apartment much to R's dismay, but finally he sees the amazingness I always saw in it.(In his defense it is hard to see the potential in something when it sits awkwardly hunched in this corner or that for years). He put it up here for me when I finished the hallway and suddenly this obscure small wall I wouldn't have thought twice about is one of my favorite things in the house. Its a nice visual reminder of what a little bit of quirkiness can do. Happy Halloween all!

I am back reading your blog and crying and laughing and feeling not alone this morning. This one made me laugh out loud. The pillow frame over the utility box seems like a metaphor for the whole message. Don't hide the quirky but way awesome frame, bring it out, frame something not usually noticed and wallah! A work of art and a new corner of your home that makes you smile when you walk by. I just love it and you!
