Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

 I shared with you the staining sealing stage, I got in the  other day.... here are a few things I  messed with. This guy did not need staining but since I painted him a few months ago, I  went ahead and sealed him. I will prob put another coat on him before putting him out, but I need to pick some sealer up first. Couple days before the staining sealing stage I made  a C table. I sit in the middle of my sectional most days, but there is no table in the center. So, I grabbed some wood from the shed and got busy. Then it got stained and  sealed. The pic below I pulled  from pinterest and this is  like the one I made.  Pics of a C table via Pinterest   But there are all sorts of  C tables.. But being that I have not purchased a welder yet, The style below would have been difficult to make,  unless I did it with stripes of wood. This is an actual C table. This one fits up over the arm of the couch. Or over the cushions.  An a...

 Friday morning coffee. Do you put up more than one tree? I have the big one in  the living room of course and one smaller one in  the dining room. If you put up a tree in  your kitchen or dining area,  what would you put on yours? Here is what I put on mine.   haha.... I ran into an issue with  wrapping the great grands chairs. One day at Dollar Tree I picked up plastic table clothes, figuring that  would work. After thought was, I should have gotten Christmas designed ones but I went  colorful. Pink for Evie,  purple for Felicity and teal for Alistur.  Kids don't care.  I even fixed them up with name tags tied with ribbon so that all they have to do is  pull the ribbon and untie the  package. haha I got Beckham some rattles, teethers and  such for Christmas but I wanted to make him something for his wall. I think this is perfect, it will match the 16x20 painting I did for his room. This is what I get for raisin...

 Morning! My mom always taped Christmas cards to the back  of the front door. I learned that from her and I have mostly  done the same. For a few years I just placed them in a basket  decorated with red ribbon. But for the past few, I have went  to taping them to the door. However, I made this on Tuesday for displaying my  Christmas cards.  I went to shed and grabbed a piece of board. After thought,  a longer piece of board would have held more but  I was not thinking that  at this point. Stained  it, glued small crafty clothe pins to it, made a bow and it turned out perfect. I posted this a few days ago,  showing you part of Ambers bday gift. I finished it on Wed.  It will make a great key holder for her. I know Amber, she will love this. Thursday I will be cooking dinner for her and the  family here at the house.  Gifts are wrapped and  ready to .... be unwrapped! haha So, on Wed. I sat down  after do...
