Interesting Info, Painting on Reused Boards, Blooms, Light Switch Plates, Gift, and Clue

Here I am again!

I am hoping that everyone is doing well, able to get out and enjoy
the nice weather, it that is the type of weather you are having. I 
know not everyone is seeing spring as of yet.

I found thie next two items interesting. But anytime I can learn things,
I enjoy it. 


You know, I am thinking I need to get a life!
Just about all I am doing is staying home and 
painting. haha. With that, my number have come up but even with that, 
my body seems to be taking its time building up my energy.
However, the last few days, I have had a little 
more than what has become my normal.

You know I like repurposing items, and when it comes
to painting of surfaces that I can revamp, I will.
These were gifted to me several yrs ago by Julie at the 
venue and they needed love.

I stripped the vinyl lettering off  of all four and
primmed the wood since it had a shiny finish. 


Here friends is what I painted on two 
of them. 

That is painted on two pieces of the wood.
This tree lines the neighbors and 
my yard. Cherry Blossoms.

Bradford Pears


Little bitty purple flowers that grow
in the grass. I got down and close
to them.

See, down close and personal.


My grandson Alistur loves
dinos. So I made him this switch
plate for his room.
And Felictiy loves Mermaids.

These extras are for my craft show.

I have a friend (yes, I have friends), 
her name is Pam also. Last yr when I had
surgery she had a nicest set of pastals and a 
nice set of watercolors to me. 
I finally got around to making her
something for doing that for me.
She loves birds so I painted these for her, 
included a crochet dishrag, a towel that I 
sewed snaps on so that it can 
hang on the oven handle. You hang the 
snapped part in the rear, and once you hang
it over the handle, you pull the snaps around
and snap in place. I also included a bookmark.

This is a pic that Pam took and posted on 
FB. This is what she said, 
What a wonderful surprise from my friend
Pam Montgomery Jackson! TWO beautiful original bird
paintings, a handmade dishcloth, a pretty dish towel,
and a bookmark! I don't know what I did to deserve such
a treasure box, but I love it! Thank you, P1!

That was so sweet.

Sat. night I went to Ambers for dinner and
Amber, Will and I played a game of
CLUE.


Not played that is yrs. 
Dinner was amazing.
Country style ribs and so much 
more. Not sure where Amber learned to 
cook cause she will tell you that it 
was not from me...
and she is right.

Hoping you are have a great 
week,
Pam

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Coffee Table Redo

Image
Morning all. Couple weeks ago I found this at a neighbors home put out on the side of the  road. Loaded it up in my Prius. It was heavy and LONG.  Standing it up next to me it comes to my shoulders and I am 5'2. My daughter Amber had told me just that week that she needed a coffee table. I think it was meant to be! Basic maple with a traditional  look and a formica top. that you can't do much with. So after checking with my daughter to be sure size would not be a problem I got to work. I built a frame. My thoughts were that if I made a frame and attached wood to that I could slip it right over the top of the existing table top.  Oops....forgot a step... before making the frame I spray painted the base in an ivory color.  Now with that step added in I  move on to what it looks like with the wood attached  to my frame. It slipped right over the top ...

Another Chilling Day - Brothers HOuse

Image
House/dog/bird sitting at my brothers house.  Of course this was Lily's first trip there. Dakota  has house sat with me many times.  Lily was not too sure what to think about Ms. Lola. She loves the ledge at the large windows! My brother has some really pretty sunflowers.....all about to give it up for the summer. Wasp drinking from the hummingbird feeder. Just wondering if these are hot... haha...I will pass on trying them  out though. Bell pepper hiding from  view. Check out the spider web. Loving this shot with the barn in the  background.  This is a form of a bush called Datura stramonium ,  known by the  English names   jimsonweed  or  Devil's snare , the seed pod.  Lily pads. Another bell pepper. Hovering over the pond. My sis in law has been canning.  Messi...
