Hello, Goodbye

Hello everyone! I am officially stressed out. I finished painting the right side walls today. I knew it was a huge risk and took me more than a week to decide on this charcoal gray. I started with a small wall, and it looked nice. So I kept going. Hmmm...I started to wonder. Is it too dark? But, I kept going. Hmmm...I started to worry. It must be too dark. But, I didn't stop. There is no stopping when you are painting. Maybe it would look okay when every wall was painted, I thought I was optimistic. Wrong! It looks like a tattoo parlor or something. It might be okay if I am on Haight Street. But I am not moving to the Haight-Ashbury. I won't even reveal the finished wall now. The lighting plays a huge role too. Unfortunately I don't have pretty lighting. So I have to go pick up another gallon of paint again tomorrow morning. My stressful week will continue. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day for Peapod on 18th Avenue. I am sad to close the current Peapod. It was my soul for the past 6 years. But, I am excited about the new space...with a bit of fear to be honest. And thank you for all the encouraging comments ladies. I needed to hear that to overcome the fear.

Closed on Thursday the 17th

Sorry for the super very short notice...I will have to close the shop tomorrow Thursday the 17th. I am in a time crunch. Hope you understand...

So Long 1314 18th Avenue

So this is where it all began, 1314 18th Avenue (well, after the dinning room/studio in my old apartment). It wasn't (and still isn't) all easy, off course. But, it happened and we stayed open...for how long? six years? But, I am closing the door at the end of this month. I wanted to wait to tell you until I know for sure when the last day would be, but I think it will be Friday the 25th. There are so many stories to tell you, but I don't have time for now. Because I am preoccupied with Peapod's new location :-) Yes, we are moving!!!
More details to come soon...


my boy (3rd or 4th grade then) doing his homework...
luckily his school was at right across the street. no traveling to go pick him up...

Kitchen Art

Sorry, I didn't mean to desert this space, but I was preoccupied with something. Something very big. Something that needed a lot of thoughts. I will tell you soon...

i finally filled the empty wall space in the dinning area.

this retro mugs print has perfect colors to go with my snyder art. yay!

Wednesday Morning

Good morning! The sun is shining. Had yogurt. Went for a walk with the tail wagging dog. Came home. Had a croissant and eggs. And I've been on hold with my web hosting tech guys on the phone...for how long? My aging phone might run out the battery before they pick up the phone. This has been going on since yesterday as I've been trying to replace the cover photo of my website for February. So I will see how long they take to fix this problem. Stay tuned...
