Ok. I've been a lazy blogger which bothers me more than you would think. Unfortunately, as long as I remember it, I struggle with keeping interest in one thing long enough to finish it. I fight it with my "multiple personalities" because I have to ability to self-motivate, as well as I self-delude.

So, I'm in New York. I have gotten myself temporarily out of a rut so really I have no excuse not to write anything.

I have painted a few pieces last month and even painted my stairs railing with Annie Sloan's chalk paint but I need to post the pictures when I get back. I find that posting them needs to happen almost immediately after painting in order to capture the essence of excitement and pride and in order not encourage the "been there, done that" feeling. So as I'm writing this, I'm struggling to keep my promise to post the pics soon after I get back. (Just being real - I find everyone makes blogging look easy but really, it's not alway!)

Anyway, I have a plan to visit one of the Annie Sloan stockist here in Long Island. The store is called "Suite Pieces". It would be fun to try to visit a stockist wherever I go. It could be one of those small personal goals that doesn't satify anyone else but me.

I am trying to relax on this trip. Maybe it will bring back some inspiration. I will post again as soon as I have some news!
