Thrift Therapy: What the rhomboid?!

August 11, 2014 By Danielle Hatfield Leave a Comment

20140811-073700.jpg 4 days ago I discovered what the rhomboid muscle was. . . The hard way.

If you have ever pulled or torn this muscle then you understand the special kind of hell it is.

I could not for the life of me figure out how I did it. Sure, I’ve been cleaning out a few closets and moving furniture around. . . but nothing that would injure myself (I think). My husband suggested I moved something and pulled it. But I resisted that notion. I’ve been moving and lifting DIY projects for over 20 years and I thankfully learned a long time ago how to lift properly. My husband then asked me what I had changed recently in my daily routine. Hrrrmmm.

After day two of excruciating pain and no sleep – this bit of shiny is what I came up with. It was to be my new water pitcher that I keep on my desk.

Isn’t it lovely?!

We picked it up last week whilst enjoying a bit of thrift therapy.

Sadly I’m going to have to rethink my plans to use it on my desk (boo!) or get a bigger water glass.

My dear @thebrandonpierce found it at the local #HabitatReStore and it’s a near match for a desk he inherited that once belonged to his great grandfather. 

I have BIG plans for this beauty!

It will become home to my new @singersewingcompany heavy duty sewing machine and all of my sewing notions. 

This means I can *finally* begin sewing curtains, cushions, and tackle a few other upholstery/restoration projects. šŸ¤—

With temperatures in the mid 60s and a cool breeze ahead of the thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow - it is the *perfect* weather to show our #GardenLove.

This #Iris is one of many transplant successes … I moved it a few years ago and it is nearly waist high! 

Is our #CottageGarden picture perfect? No. 

But slowly, with patience and hard work, it’s more lush and colorful… I dare say it’s well on its way to resembling #BeatrixPotter’s beloved garden. 

Now, about those children’s books I’ve been meaning to write and illustrateā€¦šŸ¤”

I didn’t share this #watercolorpainting before because I thought it was mediocre at best. I still feel that way - but that’s okay. 

#WatercolorPractice never makes perfect…it makes improvement. 

I’ll probably paint another portrait of him this year to see if I’ve improved my fabric, skin, and hair painting skills. 

I’m thinking maybe the next painting will be a still from his 1968 One Night With You special...or of him in uniform from WWII. šŸ¤”

Do you have a favorite memorable photo/video of #Elvis?

The first #watercolor #painting (on the left) I finished last year. Good, but a bit dull. 

After receiving all of my new #artsupplies this month (thank you @thebrandonpierce 😘) I *HAD* to paint it again… isn’t she a beauty?! (on the right)

I’m slowly working to improve mixing skin tones, painting eyes that have a bit more depth, and a fabric that doesn’t look splotchy…

This #watercolorpractice is inspired by the February 1927 #PictoralReview #CoverArt by  #illustrationArtist #EarlChristy.
