Sometimes, it seems like I’ll never get ahead in business. I’ve been doing this for two years & I’m lucky to still be making it. However, I see other’s instant success & get jealous. I was inspired by Project Runway this season. For several episodes I thought that Leanne would be eliminated, but she ended up winning. The judges seemed to be really harsh on her. Her track record looked like this:

IN
LOW
HIGH
IN
LOW
IN
WIN
WIN
HIGH
LOW
LOW
HIGH
HIGH
WIN

She hung in there & ended up winning. She actually listened to the criticism that was given & it paid off big.

I recently read the quote “When at first you don’t succeed, give up. There’s no sense in being a fool about it.” Andrea from Top Design may have read this quote as well. I was shocked when she decided to leave the show last week. She’s been in the bottom every week. However, she was growing as a designer. I really felt like she was getting better. All of the other designers just do the same thing every week, but Andrea was trying to become a better designer. Besides the fact that she’s beautiful & fun to watch & the only person on the show without a huge ego. Granted, she makes me feel like I need a weight loss pill, but I still like her.

I’ve never seen anyone walk off a reality show unless there was some kind of emergency. Yes, I’ve seen several people be kicked off, but never seen someone go home just because they missed their family. She almost seemed to be saying “I know I’m just going to be eliminated next week, so I’ll leave before you can kick me off.” She was either trying to have class or she was being a big crybaby. I can’t decide which.

On the show Top Design, they’ve designed for every possible situation. They’ve done everything from a bomb shelter to a bachelor pad. It made me wonder how a baby would design their own nursery including crib bedding. Would it be the same way an adult or designer looks at it?

There seems to be a trend in crib bedding toward neutral colors & geometric shapes like circles. I think this is a lot more soothing than some of the designs that I’ve seen in the past. It also means that the nursery can match the rest of your house. Plus, I find the taupe colors really soothing. I haven’t been an infant in awhile, but I bet they’d feel the same way.
