Can you hear that collective sigh of relief?

OK, what next? I still have some paint left...

Word for the Day:

Matthew 23:27

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! 

You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside 

but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.

Lord, let us be whitewashed YOUR way, 

and not by our own devices.

Rabbit, Rabbit...

If you find yourself in possession of a couple of rabbits, 

this might be a good time to post about them. 

This fella is made of terra cotta. I spray painted it

with Rustoleum gloss white. LOVE that stuff!

The little guy below is a ceramic planter.

I stuck a little dusty miller plant in him just for a photo, 

though he is so small it won't last long.

If you think these guys are cute, 

I wish you could have seen the little rabbit

chess pieces my friend Cathy made

in a college ceramic class. They were

so adorable and full of personality.

I had one for years, but it broke finally.

But, I still have Cathy!

:)

Word for the Day:

Leviticus 11:6

The rabbit, though it chews the cud, 

does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

Remember - only CHOCOLATE bunnies allowed!

I'm hopping over to White Wednesday with these guys.

See you there!

Little White Houses

I have a "thing" for houses.

Not just big, real, life-size ones.

I love objets d'art that have

the subject matter of houses.

Maybe the reason 

I am drawn to them is 

that I like home and 

everything it represents.

These little wooden ones were

all found at thrift stores or

garage sales - at different times.

Since I'm attacking everything

in sight with white paint, 

they were in my sights, so they

also got "the treatment."

Here are photos of a

 couple of them before white:

They were so cute, I almost decided NOT

to paint them. But in the end,

I chose to go with the graphic white silhouette.

Now, they're charming, but not "cute."

Because, cute is not really my thing.

I like plain and simple.

Word for the Day:

Exodus 20:17

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. 

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or 

his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, 

or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

During this week, the holiest week of the year,

may your house be blessed with all the blessings

your Father has arranged for you!
