Get Ready...

The Boys from Up North, 

are coming for a visit!

I had to step away from orange and black for a bit,

so I could make room for the boys!

Just have to add some finishing touches, 

and then we can all play in the snow!

The Shuffle...

Several years ago, I made this cupboard out of old doors.

And the inside, plus Little Girl, (don't mind her, she has to inspect everything.)

Since I have 10 foot ceilings, this piece was perfect, but 

then my daughter saw it and guess what, it ended up in her house.

I was on the hunt for a new cupboard, couldn't really find what I wanted

and ended up with an old TV unit, from the 90s, but it did 

have a old French pine look.  I wish I'd taken a photo of it, but I didn't!

I took the doors off, painted it, didn't quite finish it because I really

didn't care for it.  

This past weekend my daughter had a garage sale...what a great way to 

unload  the piece!  I rushed to finish the paint job, distressed and

waxed it down, trudged it through the house and out the door...Mr.

Honey did help, he held the door open.

I truck the piece over to the garage sale, unload it, and

what do you think my daughter said?

"OH, I think I want it!  It's smaller and would look better in my 

house than the big one!

I'll trade it for the big one!"  Okay!

So I truck this one back home, which is really heavy, being made of 

100 year old solid wood. 

But it does hold my all white collection.

For now I'll leave it black, and fill every nook and cranny!

Be well!

Witches Hat Finished...Whew!

Remember a few posts back?

I was adding an image, but doing it the old fashion way?

Meaning the hard way!

Here's the finished piece.

and the close up of the image I transferred.

I wanted the image of the lady to appear transparent,

like the many layers on an old billboard.

This is the front, but there are  other images

and pretties that surround the hat.

Now I  need to decide which venue to sell it in!

Be Well!

Whistle While I Work...

And work, and work...!

And I will finish them within a few days!

Really, I will!

By the way, I do whistle while I work. Usually a Disney tune...like

the one in Lady and the Tramp,  when they are sharing

the pasta. Bella More`,  Love that one!

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head while you work?

I did have Stormy Weather whirling around in

my head today, and what do ya know, it's starting to storm.

Be well!

Any Day Now!

This is just an example of how slow I am.

Mind you, I planted all my tomatoes in late May.

Yes in May!

I thought surely I'd have August tomatoes at the latest.

But no, not me! 

I was thrilled when I went out this evening and 

spotted  color

 in this mass of over-grown greenery.

Maybe, just maybe, it'll be ready on the first day of Fall!

I know it's tiny, but it's my first tomato of the season and if I slice 

very carefully ...nah I'll probably just pop it in my mouth as soon as I pick it!

Be Well!
