Wearing Stripes The other day, had painted, I in taupes and burgundies in sheen. Most of which was on the rails and shutters, tall, that once were green. I fell into my love of home, it kissed me back these many years. I'm saving grace the best I can but yesterday, she brought me tears. My balance off, with paint in left and brush held in my right of hand then tilted I, and nothing dropped but on my forehead, I did land. I searched around, my eyes to see If anyone was watching me Embarrassed, I in turning red with vertical stripes upon my head And face, from top to bottom, chin I held my ground, * could not fall in* And no one said a word to me I painted on, with head in check but telling all, the pain was there I'm striped in soreness to my neck. Today, I'll try my hand again at dressing up my favorite love and hope that balance comes my way without the droppings from above... from rain or birds or pollens sent I wish for none to residue and when all's done, I'll celebrate she's now become 100, too. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

What a great story Maureen ... I could picture this so clearly. Now that's the way to become a part of your work for sure! I really enjoyed this, thanks for the smiles!  Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 04-29-2001).] |

for a second I thought ALL you were wearing were stripes and a smile...  If that should happen? I want DETAILS---was showing off your tile topped table to a friend the other day...want you to know she is now busy smashing plates for the mosaic look---her hubby thought she was nuts, but he said at least she wasn't throwing them at him! stay well "m"---you do gorgeous work! |

that must have been a sight, I'll be doing painting today, and I'll try to be cautious. |

This is a wonderful love story. God bless you with your renovated home and I'm sure you'll soon forget the spilled paint. Joyce |

Kit ...truth sometimes is stranger than fiction..yes I have been working on this house for 21 years...and I am trying to finish it up for the last time...I smiled when writing it..although I do have a lump on my head *s thank you serenity ..hmmm I wanted you to think that..*figured I would get some responses or at least read..well not really...I WAS wearing stripes ..well your friend is going to have a harder time doing her table top than I did..but I have seen items made from broken dishes and they turn out beautiful. I was going to sell some porch spindles I have (over 70) we took every third one off my porch a few years back so I could get my hand in between to paint them..but someone gave me an idea..cut them in half and make them candle holders....that would mean 140 of them and then sell them...so I have been trying to design a base for them and then will paint them up..I could call them De light of Passion...couldn't I...and have a poem to sell with them..wonder if they would catch on..or maybe you have a more catchy title???? latin passion ..yes don't fall and bump your head like me..it makes you write crazy poetry *s Sven ..haaa I liked that.. you can be a comedian sometimes...thank you ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |
