Kid Free Weekend

I'm off for a kid free weekend, so no Sunday Abstraction.
I'm going to be occupied w/ other things!
P.S. Check out the fabulous bedroom inspirations at Desire to Inspire.

Oh, The Other Carolina!!

I say this jokingly of course. This article is about Carolina Herrera Jr...pas moi.
This apartment is so wonderful with all of its beautiful color and pattern.
Funny enough, I think my favorite part is the found blackboard,
Carolina uses to collect photos and notes.

Those of you who read regularly, know I'm not big on too many patterns,
but I am fascinated with this bedroom!
What don't I like about this article? Now I feel like the frumpiest Carolina around:(

Posters Of A Memory.

Growing up, a favorite family event was watching old Spanish movies.
We spent countless hours sitting in our living room laughing, and crying to those amazing movies.
I guess because of that, I became a devout movie buff.
There aren't many things I enjoy than a good black and white film.
So you can imagine how much I love these amazing posters from the Keep Calm Gallery.

Versailles Under The Microscope.

When does preservation cross the line into revisionism?
Being a history buff, I ask myself this question occasionally, and
so does photographer Robert Polidori in Versailles series.
For over 25 yrs. he photographed the preservation process of the great Versailles,
although the process did take away some of its romance.

Sick Day.

Hi everyone, today is a migraine day. I can't sit at the computer long because it hurts my eyes.
I didn't want to abandon you, though; so I am giving you a referral.
I found these beautiful photos via a great blog called Tinyk. Have you seen it?
I recommend you visit there today, and hopefully I will be back soon.

Sunday Abstraction: Faces

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.

Happy New Year! Its Already Been Interesting.

(If you are wondering what this is, its a toddler size body cast made entirely out of tape. Don't worry, this is the first one I've seen too).

I hope everyone is enjoying the brand new year. Around my house, its already proving to be interesting. Here is a run-down of my first few moments of 2009.

It started with being awakened by Liam who had already been up for a while with Mark.
Me: Good morning, Liam.
L: Good morning, Mama. Look at me.
(His entire torso area is tightly wrapped with Scotch tape over his pajamas).
Me: (Gasp) You have tape all over you.
L: Yeah, my Daddy said I look like a cocoon.
Me: Oh, a cocoon, you're right.
L: I need you to change me.
Me: Why, are you stuck?
(Liam takes off running down the hallway)
L: (Shouting) Yeah, I GOTTA GO PEE PEE!!!
He wasn't kidding about needing help. He had wrapped himself pretty tight.
