(maybe my husband is your husbands long lost brother? :-) <br /><br />the artwork looks lovely with the matting and framing and no doubt will find a place that will give you months and years of happiness. <br /><br />today i am tidying up my studio as well, putting everything back in it's place, new red rosin paper down...i love the feeling of a freshly cleaned and orderly studio. <br /><br />thank you for the inspiration. xokatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105114819455505824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-52647532146168230182009-08-30T17:19:04.900-05:002009-08-30T17:19:04.900-05:00Thank you for sharing that story Sharon!Thank you for sharing that story Sharon!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661632858613259023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-36357827655263282622009-08-30T00:11:42.355-05:002009-08-30T00:11:42.355-05:00Your story about your husband made me think about ...Your story about your husband made me think about the differences in how we operate between Tony and I - hmmm.

Just beautiful pieces of work alrady to hang that is such fun and feels so good that one cannot stop looking.<br /><br />You speak of function and beauty which I understand, my husband is the same, EXCEPT get this, he has been cleaning a large shed all summer, the other day he had fashioned some tables along the wall for his things, and it had an arrangement, a very old primitive box, some old horse harness for when machines were horse pulled, a couple very primitive pots made by the daughters long ago in school.<br />It was an arrangement of things he wanted to look at. It was one of the things one learns about people after 44 yrs. Otherise he is much the same about function and stuff.<br /><br />I am over stimulated today, not all your fault, my quilting is going rather well, I went to see about a new cat, the cat that came here was diagnosed with a brain tumor 3 weeks ago and had to be put down and I was so sad over that.<br /><br />Enough chatter from me.<br />Warm in the North, EmelieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-82861856804331124042009-08-27T14:21:57.852-05:002009-08-27T14:21:57.852-05:00Men really are different than women.

But even beyond that we seem to be attracted to differences I think.<br />My son once asked me, "Mom how did you and Dad ever get together, you are so different?"
