In my second year of potting, I am trying to repeat pieces that were somewhat successful. After a couple of missteps, I was able to remake my #midcentury style vase - this time in Blue Yonder.

If you are a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work like me, this article is a must-read.
Did you know about his 1956 plan for a mile-high (yes, 5,280' above grade) skyscraper in Chicago? 520 floors, four times as high as the Empire State Building.

@RickiTarr The abstract by the mirror is my fave; nice #midcentury vibe. Floaty beard guy would stop me in my tracks if I came across him in a thrift store, however, I would not be tempted to buy it ;)
I'm wondering if the charity shop will realise... (part 3). Da Vinci meets Tretchikoff's "Green Lady." I had to paint all of this one from scratch. Plus all floral clothing ornamentation replaced by 70s cigarette/booze brands. I might make this one available as a print.

#Introduction
So I am new to Beige Party, but not new to the Fediverse. I decided it would be prudent to have a 2nd account for when my other instance is going through “shenanigans.” But I also thought it would be nice to have a place, on this here #Mastodon, where I could maybe have a little respite from the overwhelming seriousness of life. So this account will be about silliness and #whimsy and #art and #knitting socks and #crocheting colorful blankets and planting a #NativeGarden and #BloomScrolling and favorite #tv shows and #movies and #writing and the poetry of #SongLyrics.
I live in the #Midwest with my husband and my son in a #MidCentury house where we desperately run to fix the breaking or broken or falling apart thing before the next thing breaks or falls apart. (We have grand plans for this house which includes #chickens and gardens and #compost heaps, but so far the only thing we’ve done is paint the den chartreuse.)
