698 - more projects underway & 1st SALE!!!

Day 698 was a typical Monday, Sheldon off to work in the city early and Britt on the bus to school. I was up at 7:15 to make sure she did not miss it. Today I had plans to get a few more smaller projects underway to move some stock.

I started with the round corner accent table. I made up some chalk paint with my new mistint can and put on 2 layers. In between layers I worked on sanding the tops of the pine coffee and end tables.

Today was also cleaning and sheet launder day. I spent an hour or so putting things in the hutch but am finding myself quite picky with a few things moved back out :-) I really like the white pottery and items in it with the blue background.

and here is the painted frame in place

Today at just after 5 I made my first official sale for my furniture business. A fellow from Calgary came out and picked up my rustic round table taking it to a new home.

Amanda text that Britt won a door prize at last week's Bangles celebration. Lucky Britt!

A funny story I forgot to share over the w/e was my acupuncture beads. Early Saturday morning I found I scratched one out. I got up and tried to put it back in but groggy and still dark I decided to wait. Once up I had Sheldon insert it again with tweezers. Seemed easy until later in the day and I scratched the other side. This time he seemed to actually pierce new skin rather than find the existing hole. This had me concerned he may have hit an activation spot I might not have wanted.. such as the bowel :-) But it seemed to be ok!

We family watched Wreck It Ralph after we enjoyed a hot chili supper. It is a very cute movie.
