Another close up

A few more

A sampling

Even the box is cool

Alaina's postcard project

Even paying bills is not bad with my work area

All I need is a bongo

My funky chair(s)

So pretty

Easter Sunday

The calm before the storm

Looking for eggs (not my marbles)- No Alaina's hair is not actually this color

This is very accurate

No Easter eggs in the fishtank

So much for personal freedom

That's okay, they are welcome to stay on their side of the country :\

All I want is a room somewhere...

Yes, this room right here!

My new study

So very happy!(The boxes are for Joseph's ebay- at least they are out of the living room!)

Wall to wall books!

And the height ended up perfect!

Are you having a good Friday?

I am!

Thank you so much!

red dress

Pictures of the in-stock e-mail that I got yesterday, and the website- Originally $260- now $69 .99 but you can still get an additional 30 % off (and free shipping).  I so should have done it anyway- guess what ? - The red is ALREADY sold out- no kidding!!!

Have a happy birthday!

My sincerest wishes for you

To have a lovely birthday-

I even framed it in ugg blue!

Guess Who?

She is not posting a reveal on Facebook until after school tomorrow- but you get a sneak peek.

bookcase

It measures 19-inch wide by 11-1/2-inch deep by 71-1/4-inch high. It is delivered in a box measuring 77-3/4-inch by 12-3/4-inch by 3-1/2-inch and weighing 54 pounds. The back surface is not laminated.

Wedding Projects

 Hello! I hope this finds you feeling better (though I understand that there is often a protracted recovery time ).
Do you think you will continue with your consignment and thrift store rounds this week?
I ask because Alaina has a new project for you. (If you are willing.)

Instead of a guest book, Alaina and Craig have decided that they would like to have vintage (BLANK) postcards that people would fill out with words of advice and well wishes and then place in a vintage suitcase.

There are several reasons for this, but one of the main ones is if they end up travelling to Korea this is very portable  and light weight.

They were wondering if you ever see BLANK vintage postcards that are around 10 cents a piece?

Also looking for

a really cool (but pretty clean) vintage suitcase for the finished postcards ,

 and a crate or drawer for the blank cards to choose from.

I already created this sign with a old picture frame and blackboard paint.

I also made the white sign seen here - but Alaina said "it  needs more red"

They are all about the red. 

SO....

It still needs a post attached.

Debbie's birthday table. (Nothing to do with the wedding, but not uggh blue, so fair game.

A picture is worth 1000 words

Project

My current project . You asked for it, so here it is, in all it's "before" glory.

The interior of one of the drawers- you can see the groove caused by the drawer stop.

The replaced hardware - previous owners choice.

VERY shiny brass-

My choice for the drawer pulls  (I had 8 lying around from a previous project and the 3.5 " CC for the holes happened to be  just right.)

Wood on the top of the mirror- putty required.

So I have no clue to the age- Amy might have a guess from looking at the nails.

No drawer hardware worthy of selling, but the front left wheel was broken, so rather than trying to replace that one, I shall attempt to sell the other 3 on Ebay.

By the way Cruz took Kansas and Maine :-)

Still trying

Doug suggested I paint over the drawers, and just paint some birds on it instead.

Probably good advice, but

Not willing to completely admit defeat yet (Much like Marco Rubio  ;P) . I added a cheeky little seagull.

 I mean to say:

 I do not admit defeat like Marco Rubio,  I paint beach scenes like George W. Bush 

and I treat the Rules like Cheney.

We shall see.
