I wanted to just pause a moment and show you these photos of apricots that I took.
I must say I want to learn to make Jam and be one of those woman who know how to make preserves and I'll even wear a white apron when I do it. The white apron will not have paint smeared on it.
I won’t mention the Mafia or the political or economic
situation. I won’t even mention what went down in the World Cup.We are so thankful this is a design
blog.
Today, just a little color inspiration, I go crazy for the
color of Blood Red Oranges.I feel
like it is almost impossible to duplicate for interiors.I always have clients trying to find
the right red. Yes the juice is very good with Russian Vodka!
This is a very Italian action. Italians love to air out their homes, even in the dead of winter, windows are always opened. The extended light will make your home glow.
2. Cover your couch or a big chair with fresh white linens.
It is amazing how this will lighten up the
room.If you don’t have anything
big enough you can use a curtain or sheets taped together in the back.
I found a spot in the sun on a wall to sit and write and
think for a moment.A friend came
by and as usual he offered a bit of interesting information.He said did you know that wall,
pointing to the wall I was leaning against was build in the 1500’s.
Today I am complete thrilled and enthralled with two things. The
first is last night we moved our clocks ahead one hour Daylight Savings Time
has begun.Yahhhhh!You know what the means one hour more
to paint in good light and one our more to sit in outdoor cafes.
The second thing is I have finally organized my Painting Class in
Umbria (click here).It is going to be
such fun.You can read all about
it above this post, below the Sette Design sign there is a section titled
Painting Class in Umbria click on it.
Cuteness Power is when something is so adorable and cute
that it makes you just stop and exclaim how wonderful life is.It gives you that giddy feeling like
life is full of hope.

Having this little guy in our home for just 24 hours did that.Everyone who came over said ooohh and
owww and then got that melted expression of love on their face.
It’s March and Monday in Umbria Italy, presently the day is bright
and sunny. I’m going to give you some feel good homework for the week.I love lists and I love to check things
off my list.Last week I had 27
things to do on my list.I
actually accomplished 17 of those. It was a joy to check 17boxes off.
Want to make your life easier?I know is that a trick question?
This last week I created this Vanilla Raisin Brown Bread and
believe me it has changed my life.I’m a single Mom and I work for myself, so it becomes pertinent to have easy snacks for school, something quick to grab to give me enough energy to keep painting a ceiling or
having something around incase “someone”(tall, big BF) wants a midnight
“mirenda”.
I have a friend and mentor who
is a master painter, she recently gave me all these gorgeous paintbrushes.She is in her 80’s and is still going
strong with a passion and love of life that is not found often.
