I’ve recently decided, after several years at another hosting provider, to move this website to Bluehost. I’ve hosted a number of websites at Bluehost for various purposes, but just never got around to actually moving my personal blog until now. This post will walk you through the 4 steps to move your site!

Build Your Own Float Frame
I think that the Float Frame (or floater or floating frame as I’ve heard them called) is a particularly stylish way to display canvas art from paintings to canvas photo prints (also check out my video on how to stretch your own canvas). The thing I particularly like about float frames is that they’re easy to build, look great and they’re pretty versatile as far as framing different styles of art. In addition, if you want to frame non-standard sized paintings or prints, you can save a ton of money doing it yourself! In this post, I’ll cover building one from start to finish. And, if you stick with me until the end, I’ll show you another cool float frame project!
I’ve been craving some middle eastern fare for the past few days and after spending an afternoon in downtown Birmingham at the Magic City Art Connection with the enticing scent of gyros wafting in the afternoon air, I think it’s high time to get my falafel on for date night dinner!
I’m beginning to think my LG LDF6920ST dishwasher is a lemon. After I fixed the leak in my other post, the door started falling down without any resistance. Obviously something else is broken! But it’s my only dishwasher and the prospect of buying a new appliance just doesn’t get me very excited. And besides, when it works it does a pretty good job.

For Those Who Feel Different…
I ran across this beautiful scene early in the spring and it immediately brought to mind those of us who feel different; like we don’t fit in.
Needed an appetizer the other night, so I went through my usual routine of perusing the internet for some ideas & then concocted these Pear & Goat Cheese crostinis. They actually turned out to be really good. So much so we made them again the next night!

Rustic Farmhouse Nightstand
I am working on my next project, a rustic farmhouse nightstand to match my rustic farmhouse bed. Since I finished the bed, we’ve been on the lookout for a nightstand to match, but haven’t found anything that we particularly like or will fit next to the bed. The few options that we sort of liked are pretty expensive, so here’s a shot at a design that I created to make use of some wood I’m reclaiming from some old shelves that I’ve removed from my garage.

Storm Picture
So I’m taking a break in the middle of my storm picture. It’s really quite horrid at this point in it’s life, kind of like a troubled adolescent that’s rebelling against everything I want it to be. And as I’m reflecting on why, exactly, it’s giving me so much grief I think the analogy is a good one – like the angry kid, it’s simply reflecting all of my mistakes in bringing it to this point.

Bistro Style!
We wanted something a little more casual for this week’s Date Night Dinner and something that we could make while talking and having a little fun. That translates to a meal where we don’t really have to think too hard or have to concentrate on a recipe. Homemade flatbread pizzas fit that bill perfectly!

Midnight Blue
Shot this picture very early the other morning. The “real” view was a beautiful midnight blue sky through the trees just before the sun began casting it’s early morning glow. But my camera was still set for some pictures I’d taken inside with some funky lighting, so the white balance was totally off. However, I rather liked the otherworldly effect of the blue and the ghostly pattern among the trees. Sometimes a trash picture turns out to be something interesting.
