When a task has been completed, I put a check in the corresponding box and then I rewrite the list, minus the completed item. This is called a neurosis.
Today's list is brought to you by Stuff Hanging On My Walls:
1. Owl Girl
The P-Dawg gave me this print for my birthday last year. It's by a Japanese printmaker named Akiyama. It is my understanding that owls give a lot of people the heebie-jeebies, but I love them, at least when they are only one dimensional. The owls in this print are supposed to be protecting the girl with a single red earring.
2. Crate and Barrel Tea Light Holders
3. Guy With Blue Hat
This is a Japanese print the P-Dawg gifted to himself.
4. Flowers
My parents gave us this painting as a wedding gift. It was done by a relative of mine, whose name is Rimas. You read correctly! A bit of trivia: You can make almost any Lithuanian girl's name into a boy's name by adding an "s" at the end. You are most welcome.
5. February
Art for the month of February on my kitchen calendar. If you suspect that each day has been crossed out up to the 21st, you guessed correctly.
6. Frank Lloyd Wright Chair
A framed poster from my old office. Ugly.
7. The Moon in the V-Meister's Room
An eerily real looking moon that can go through all of the lunar phases with the click of a remote control button. Leaving the remote controller in your pre-schooler's room overnight is not recommended.
8. Curious George Triptych
9. Yet Another Japanese Print
10. Flea Market Find
11. Wedding Day
12. The One and Only Cross-Stitch I Have Ever Done
I did this when I was ten or so. By force.
13. Pots and Pans
Why did I think it would be fun to post thirteen photos that take ONE LIFETIME to upload to Blogger? The V-meister is now ready to begin completing college applications and all I have to show for it is a Thursday Thirteen meme of stuff from my hut. Huh.

This is really cool! I might steal this one Thursday... if you don't mind that is.
I really like the Japanese prints and especially the POT RACK! I just got myself one for Christmas and I love it. No more having to dig through the cabinets and re-stacking everything and banging my fingers. Who knew one piece of steel could make me so happy?!
That's awesome stuff on your wall, I really love your taste in ART. Cross-stitching by force - ha!!! That would also be me, not crafty, not one iota.
Great idea for a list too.
Happy TT!
I get the feeling your house is absolutely lovely - thanks for sharing.
I wish I had that moon on my wall. Seriously. (When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. I still dream of traveling in space one day...)
I know, T13's are a whole mess of work once you start uploading photos.
I like your taste in art Rima. I especially adored the wedding photo - straight out off of a bridal cover I might add!
Here's hoping V gets accepted at MIT. Or Harvard should she get desperate.
Ooh, I'm totally coveting #1 and 2. What a lovely post - I am way too lazy to upload that many photos.
That moon is awesome! I'm thinking about getting one for our room. Cuz I'm big on ambiance.
Your house looks very pretty! I am going to get Charlie a moon someday. I think they are so cool!
What a great idea! Loved this!
I may just have to copy you next week. ;) (With linky love, of course!)
I loved that! Voyeuristic house posts are my favourite.
Glad the college applications are going well. Was probably worth it. Love the photos.
Does number 10 have an image by Chagall on it?...
Jennifer - I think it is, indeed, a Chagall.
