I’m in my fourth year of writing for Apartment Therapy, and I’ve been an Apartment Therapy/The Kitchn reader for even longer. Like all of you longtime folks, I’ve definitely found many tips from our sites that have changed the way I operate, while others that I was so gung-ho on—projects and tips that I was sure I’d get right to work on—have been languishing on the island of I’m-never-going-to-actually-do-this for years.

Since I was a child, the idea of being a stay at home person (SAHP) was, and still is, painted in a particularly negative light. The choice to stay at home is often seen as an act of laziness, cont…

Shel here: Lots to report and not alot of time to do it in (speed blogging): 1. i CLEANED what used to be the garage -- it all started with an innocent, "hey babe, can you park your car on the street for awhile so i can shoot this film in the garage?"---4 years later, we finally banished all things "garage" and the space is now strickly, beautifully STUDIO......this is very exciting...... my friend nancy generously gave me shelves and extra "studio stuff" she wasn't using, and i had a date to start making ships for LINE (working title of our new film) the day after we got back from NYC. so i MADWOMANED the place before we left and it's so ORGANIZED!! it's all STOP MO--tools, materials and equipment......it makes me way too happy (i don't have time to psychologize that right now......but i just noticed how "organized" and "orgasm" sound sort of connected.....) STUDIO/GARAGE MESS BEFORE: ORGANIZED GLORY AFTER Aedon demonstrating the studiness of the new shelves i built (not, maybe, completely necessary, but there was some empty wall space.....) 2. the night before we went to New York, Jeff Set Master Cross came over and we discussed how we'll go about building the ships when we get back. stop motion coninues to put us in contact with the coolest people ever, and jeff is no exception. we made up a tool and material list (what's a DREMEL?) and got on the plane the next morning. 3. Tribecca - we saw our film on the airplane....that was very much fun. we met cool people, saw some good films, got to hang out with my sister and neice (my fav part), walked ALOT, went to the awards party.......we didn't win, which is too bad cuz that would have been a pretty feather in our cap.....but in truth we've gotten SO MUCH from all the exposure.....very interesting and cool people continue to contact us saying they've seen the film on the airplane and loved it, "made me cry" (aww, thanks!) and can they buy a DVD (not yet), or would we like them to work with us on making our next film 3D (yes!), or can they distribute our film (not now but we'll keep your info for later), or are we looking for investors and what other projects are we working on (let us tell you!!). it's been incredibly beneficial and we are GRATEFUL! 4. Came home sunday night, went to home depot, bought a BAND SAW, DREMEL and BELT SANDER (okay, this is like christmas for me!!). monday morning jeff comes over and we start SHIPS. Jeff is teaching me how as we go and i so excited to be learning this stuff (and i'm in love with my new Dremel!). Jeff's such a kind and open teacher, to have a SUPER PRO be so open and comfy with my ideas in the problem solving is giving me tons of confidence........ 5. Oh yeah, and the week before we went to NYC i put together an investment package for the new short. Complete with a Deal Structure, Detailed Budget, Cash Flow Schedule, etc., etc., etc. this was so interesting and insightful......clarifies the project on a whole different level (we're pretty clear on the art level). Writing it all down from a financial/marketing POV helped us look at LINE in relationship to our BIG GOAL of making our feature, and what we want to get out of the experience of making this short. 3D is a big part of that, but that will have to be another post, cuz i have some ships to build!

A 2011 Kentucky law requires judges to consult an algorithm when deciding whether defendants must post cash bail. More whites were allowed to go home, but not blacks.

Hello! Welcome all my new Email Subscribers! I believe a lot of you are new from the perk of joining our Private Nesting with Grace Facebook Group. I have over 600 new requests that we are working on adding today. If you are not a part of our private group and want to be join HERE (promise we will get you added!) One question I have gotten from several readers is "How do I make my home cozy??" I gave 4 simple tips that I think anyone can easily apply. Also added another video from my Instagram Stories when I styled our bookcases in our front room- they are super cozy and I hope the video helps you! BTW- we keep our wireless printer in the cupboard below the open bookcase and a ton of books that we don't want displayed right now- it is OK to not have every book you own in your bookcase! I snapped this grainy- imperfect picture when my home was feeling super cozy and imperfect. I think that is the key to remember- cozy is NOT perfect! Read the post HERE
