Rosy times

I went to the arboretum this week for a little photo shoot with my friend. However, the roses there caught my attention big time so before we could get started taking pictures of her, I had to get some time in with roses. 

♥♥♥

Let me say, looking through these pictures makes me want to stop being lazy and go pick up some turpentine so I can paint. 

It also makes me wish I had more time to paint!! 

...I think I'll be revisiting this post when the time eventually comes to play with oils again...

And just so you think I didn't take pictures of just flowers...

Keeping my pretty friend private. ;)

Thanks pretty friend for a fun time and a new great learning experience, I walked away with a lot of new ideas/tips/thoughts/info.

....so anyone else up for a session...? 

Lol, maybe I should finish my thesis first though. :D

Have a super wonderful awesome weekend!!!

Today is the day! Welcome all!!!

*Drum roll*

Ladies and Gentlemen, 

I bring to you (finally)

the launch of 

Anneli's Atelier!!!

Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaah! 

It's been a long time coming... and I'm finally happy with my little nook, my little atelier! 

The bunting flags finally went up this past weekend and I'm just so incredibly pleased with how it pulled the room together! Added bonus that it was an easy and cheap project!

So now I have my desk, chair, storage facility (lol) and mushroom table (under the oil paint box), easel, plenty of canvases and other art supplies... I'm just peachy!

Hubby made this mushroom table with my dad out of a giant 100+ year old tree that had been cut down. I love it but I think it needs to get painted a color! I think red with white dots would be classic, but I can't decide completely since I still like the idea of gray, green, yellow, blue, black... Oh the decisions!

This chair was a steal from my favorite thrift store, only 6 euros and in perfect condition!

I crocheted a granny square cover for the cushion (that is a bit too big but was free and readily available) and I think it's just adorable!

Oh boy, I just love it all!

Thanks for stopping by for my launch! I'll be wrapping it up now over at my first blog "A sorta fairytale" now, so start following over here to stay updated! :)

I just love change and progress!
