School #10

My last class was a textiles class. I just finished the class yesterday, but thought I'd give you just a little glimpse of what I've been up to.

The assignment was to take the given floor plan and decide what furnishings and textiles to use. They gave very little client information. The first is a family room for a young couple with three small children. The second is a small business reception area. In working with commercial settings, there are all kinds of annoying codes and regulations to follow! In both of these cases I considered my clients and decided neither had a large budget considering.








This assignment was to take the given drawing of a wall with an un-centered window and create a soft window treatment that "fixed" the imbalance. I just used paint to draw the curtains on right on the computer. I can't figure out why it made the one picture is pink and teal! . . .



Now I'm on to Basic Drafting. . . :-(

The thing that really caught my attention, however, was not the flat screen TVs and computers and living room furniture and mattresses and jewelry. . . Like I said, I looked at this thing last night. It wasn't until I picked it up to throw it away a few minutes ago though, that I realized some of the things I had seen listed! Would you believe they have purses and sunglasses for sale on payment plans?!? This to me is just wrong! I've thought this whole craze was nuts before, but the idea of making a $...

Anniversary Dinner

It's kind of hard to really celebrate a special occasion when it takes place early in the week. Jon worked today, and I did homework all day, but we DID manage to get out for a nice dinner this evening. After thinking all day and trying to come up with someplace good and unusual, yet not TOO expensive, Jon and I finally decided on Mama Lucia's in Potsdam. Jon had been before, but it was my first time. Just think Olive Garden. . . The atmosphere was amazing and the food was great!! It's an old train station which is absolutely beautiful inside and it has a nice patio area outside (which is where we ate and just barely missed a HUGE thunder storm). Here are just a few pictures. I brought my camera and then left it in the car. I realized before we walked away from the car, but was just going to forget it because I get tired or fussing with Jon to let us get pictures. HE surprisingly enough asked if I was going to bring my camera in and didn't argue at all about getting pic...
