On Re-Framing It

Once upon a Tuesday night, I took this old framed painting (found at the antiques garage)...

... and turned it into this!

i am quite delighted by it and get really giddy every time i see it.

which, for my little apartment, is quite often. including every time i wake up :)

it's messy and imperfect and that feels absolutely right.

the words are the title (& lyrics) of what has become by theme song for 2012: 'take your time (coming home)' by fun.

take your time coming home/hear the wheels as they roll/let your lungs fill up with smoke/forgive everyone

i especially love the bridge of the song and am working on making a project around it:

now i'm not scared of the songs or the states or the stages/

i'm not scared, i got friends, took my call, came courageous/

now i feel like i am home.

project inspired by something spotted on a beautiful mess

FULLweek: Friday's Letters

Dear fun., my goodness do you boys put on one heck of a show.

Dear Nate Ruess, you sing from your soul & with your whole being. 

You very well might have reminded me why I sing.

Dear Paper Source, you are a dangerous place for me to go alone.

Dear NYC heatwave, you made your point but it's time to go.

Dear Forgiveness & Interpretation, I dig you kids quite a lot.

Dear Molly & Jacob, it was an honor to meet you. I can't wait to watch you grow up.

Dear Email Inbox, could you possibly clear yourself out? Maybe send some replies, too? Thanks!

p.s. Friday's Letters was started by this blog:
