Cabinets, Flowers, and Deck Light

Image
 Slow, slow, slow and a little steady thrown  \ in there for measure, or at least cause it sounds good. My neighbor, Carrie on the right side of me gave me a metal cabinet with doors for the  craft cave. Only I decided that it needed to  go in the tool shed. BUT, yes, you know how life goes, there is always a BUT in  the works. My BUT is that the neighbor on the other side of me bought a home built in 2015, and they are redoing the kitchen area. The kitchen was  built smack dab in the center part of one end of the house.  Yep, one BIG open room with a small kitchen  down there on the end. Anyway, kitchen is now up , about where the wood stove is. It is  BEAUTIFUL. Man who owns builds cabinets and he does a great job. Anyway, Deborah, is wife asked if I needed any cabinets for my new shed. Taking out the bottoms were not easy and they did not fair well but the uppers were just fine. I have two corner uppers, stacked on top of each other, two o...

Chuck Norris and Fossils

Image
Been at that age the last few yrs where I started seeing stars, actors and actress from my generation, passing on.  Although you never like hearing that stuff, this one hit hard. I have always had a soft spot for Chuck Norris. Gone at the age of 86. Matter of fact I  think he just turned 86. Watched several of his older  movies back in the winter.

So, with that said, no pics of our and  about. BUT, I will share what I have come upon lately in the yard. This is what I found, when walking around the yard and just looking down. A spot I have searched before but with rains more appear. No, its not raining fossils, its washing soil away and unearthing  the fossils. This is part of a stem to a Crinoid, a living creature from millions of years ago when Tennessee was covered with a warm sea. Crinoid ...

Horses, House, Surprises, and Cave,

Image
Bet you will be happy to hear, that I think, I am done painting for now. I need to start getting all I have done ready for the craft show. Pricing which I am still not sure about, checking to see if I need to cover up any spots with paint, paint the back of the  door hangers and seal. Seal all the objects  that need sealing, put yard, ribbon,  rope, saw teeth or whatever for hanging. Wrap and pack. Anyway, I thought I would paint a pic I took of some horses.  Keep in mind, what I paint NEVER looks like what the pic looks like. Also, keep in mind, when you are sittingBut up close to a pic you are painting it sometimes becomes hard to see what is in front of your face. But before I move on to that let me tell you about the horse on the right, it was supposed to  be dirty white. That was hell to paint. And if you notice, it did not stay white. I had issues doing the shading and stuff without it taking over. I decided that it would be brown. The horse on the left wa...
