Staying Motivated

I didn't head up to the church this weekend. One of my crew had a death in the family and since we are all human beings, we let the schedule be a little flexible. I hope that the forms come in and the concrete foundation walls are poured this coming week. It makes me uncomfortable that the old girl has been on stilts for almost three weeks. I'll feel better when she's set back down.
I did get some good news. I heard from the delivery service that the windows and doors are ready to be delivered and to arrange a time that works for everyone. THAT will be a big change that I can enjoy all the time. I can't wait to see more light come into the east side of the house. David says he'll install them as soon as the foundation is done. So I'm on the brink of seeing a lot of things happening but just not right now.
One of the things that keep me motivated is thinking about what artwork I can hang. Here's some stuff that I'd like to get framed and put in the music area. There's a sweet Matt & Kim poster with their personal inscriptions from our trip to Coachella this year. Next to that is a Seth illustration with an inscription from Aimee Mann and the far right is a Hatch Showprint poster with an inscription from Mary Gauthier.

And here's some photographs that I really love.

It seems so far away, the time that I'll be able to hang pictures, but it helps me stay motivated to keep on when I'm losing hope.

One of the things that I love about upstate is going to yard sales and buying interesting ephemera for design inspiration. The book above was in a garage sale and I paid $2 for it.

I think these are called "tracts". I  love their simple graphics and alarming messages.

Next week: hopefully a basement comes into being...
