I LOVE this house!

Jon Brooks' House , and he makes cool furniture too!

If you are into Mosaic, you will love the blog "Make Mine Moasic", I have been wandering around it for a few days, lot's of eye candy!
You will also love this website: Mosaic Atlas, pics of mosaics from all over the world!

I have decided to do a "forever floor" in my living room. I am taking this route for several reasons, first of all it is hard to screw up a 1978 mobile home no matter what you do, secondly it is kid and pet friendly, third it is a cheap fix that will hold out drafts this winter, a cheap fix that is easy to do...and fourth it speaks to my artistic side because of the endless possibilities it offers....if I get tired of it I can repaint it and change it at little cost, and if I hate it, in the spring I can lay pergo over it and benefit from the added insulation it will create. My plan at this point is to paint it to look like cobblestones over all, and I'll do either a main area painted carpet, or a couple of painted on throw rugs placed strategically. Might try to get it done by Xmas... we'll see how the gift making goes time-wise first. I just know the carpet is not salvageable, and the forever floor would be fun to do.

Anyway, I'm not dead... just busy. 3 gifts left to finish and then if I have time I can do extra gifts for fun
