Amazing Painting, Door, Stripping, Painting Crafts, and Boxes

 I was scrolling through PINTEREST today and found this.

BEAUTIFUL.

So real looking.

Amazing. 

I love it.

I also saw something else but this

was on FB.

I follow a page called

An Okie Girls Favorites and Friends

https://www.facebook.com/groups/457467191337917/

This is what was posted on that page.

BEAUTIFUL...

So today I was in the garage 

STRIPPING.

You read that right, I was stripping.

I still have not finished the antique

sewing machine cabinet I am doing

for a friend. This fall and winter has

been really hard on my body. 

However, today I was going to work

on it come heck or high water.

I moved it out into the driveway only

my stripper was getting to CoLd!

BRRR.....it was cold out there.

So I pulled it back in the garage but

left the door open for more light.

I worked for a few hours but I 

was so cold that when I came up

to feed the furs, I decided I had 

enough of that for the day. 

After feeding though I went to the 

craftroom and decided to do 

something. Back a couple months

ago I borrowed a stool from 

James and Julie at Tn. Tiny

Weddings for a shoot I wanted

to do. Shoot did not work out

the way I wanted so I gave up 

on that, forgetting to take the stool

back. Today while stripping I 

decided that I had to make it pretty

before taking home.....cause believe

me, it was UGLY. It was painted white.

A dirty white from being out in the 

James garage. It had places where 

it had been peeling before it was painted

white but I was not going to sand and

give it lots of love. It needed to look

rustic for the venue anyway.

Slapped some paint on the top.

Then I put Tn. Tiny Weddings

across the top.

But it needed more.

There again, keeping a rustic unfinished 

look and not spending hours on it I 

did a hit and miss on the legs.

I liked it. Posted on FB and Julie

had a fit over it. 

But after cleaning brushes and 

stuff I decided it needed more.

So I did the pattern down one

leg.

I will seal it so that it will hold up better. 

Next, I had picked up these cute little boxes at Dollar Tree.

My youngest grands are not sharing a room anymore

so I thought they would like a special box

for their room to put their small

treasures in. 

D for Dustin

B for Braden

I stayed cold all day after being in the 

garage so finally I gave it up and 

took a hot bath. That helped so much.

Today is also Friday and our temps are

dropping to 26 tonight. Tomorrow will be

49 but sunny. Then Sunday, here comes the

rain again. Had rain come in two days

ago and it put me down and out, hoping

that Sunday is not like that. 

I really need to get the stripping done,

get it stained and sealed. 

And of course, DUH, that would

be me, did not take any pics before. 

But I will take pics once stripped.

then some of it finished. 

Have you been working on any projects?
