We are beyond the halfway mark of January . . . as in January 22, 2012 already . . . I’m gonna let that settle in for a moment . . . if you’re like me, you’ve got whiplash right about now . . . but we’re gonna carry on as if this is the most normal thing in the world and share a little recap of what life was like this week at Smith Bites . . .
My last painting project for #OperationPantry is this hutch and I have to tell you, getting the right color on this baby has proved more challenging than anticipated. The Professor leaned toward a butter yellow color but I wasn’t a fan; I then tried my pick of orange which also didn’t work so today we tried green . . . the paint store didn’t mix it correctly and we didn’t notice until we got home . . . a big #paintfail on this project so far . . . white and gray are the colors so in the meantime, if anyone has suggestions, please leave me a comment . . .
This winter weather has been crazy . . . one day the sky looked like this . . .
And the next day like this . . .
Some of us . . . ahem . . . had a jelly belly . . . or two . . . or three . . .
We squeezed a bit of citrus . . .
And made this . . .
And then we stirred together a bit of polenta and made this . . .
Both of which will be posted here later this week . . .
Thanks for hanging out with us – enjoy your Sunday!

Oh my gosh those trees and those sky shots are stunning!
A lovely look into the last week… looking forward to your posts with those recipes!
Picking paint colors can be so frustrating. What if you make the hutch pop with barn red or a medium blue? That’d be a fun contrast to white and grey.
Debra – how did you do the collage of the three pics – on Instagram??
Carol ~ I have used two different collage apps . . . one is called CollageMaker (there is a ‘free’ version and one that costs $1.99) and the other app is called Frametastic (thanks Kim at RGBistro!) which is free. CollageMaker allows you the freedom to place and size pics randomly whereas Frametastic has set templates; I like both depending on what photos I’m placing and what story I want to tell!
You’ve been such a busy bee! Can’t wait to see how Operation Hutch turns out! Hope you get some rest today
Wow that first photo is a stunner! And personally I love January… because every single day leads straight up to my birthday
So, so very creative and interesting! Your point of view is unique and beautiful… love looking at your pictures!
You did such a great job of capturing your week in pictures!
