Saturday the dreaded wind returned and the clouds were overcast most of the day. I was up by 8 as Diego seems to like that time lately to go out. Coffee and out to the garage to work of more projects. At 10:30 I heard Britt peel out of the yard, it was not long until a phone call came asking for food as it seems she was to be at work by 10 and forgot to set alarm! UM no sorry, phone a friend as I have a person slated to pick up purged frames and you need to get up on time. Apparently I was to remind her.. what?? She told me she did not work this w/e ;)
what do you think of my creative sculpting repair? I had to add more and tweak it a bit form last night.
I also added 2 more stripe to look like the grain sack craze that is so popular as the solid line looked like a Santa tray :-)
The fellow picked up the frames and back out I went. Hardware got touch ups, the dresser/hutch got 2 more coats of varathane. The custom writing desk got a few more repairs but Jessica picked out a new color and will send with Shaina tomorrow. She chose a barn red, ooolala.
some of the art work inside
only time the sun peeked thru, tried to catch her biting her own legs, so funny, self entertained!
New projects got started too, the bread box got 2 coats of red while the narrow frame was painted bold shoreline and top coated a couple times ready to roll.
I put all the hardware back on and just set black board behind to show the plan
and brought the first of the reds in to stage and post
do you like them? the wide chalk board stripe would be fun to write the cheeses displayed etc
Britt grabbed a few groceries for me on her way home from work. I kindly stopped work and cooked up supper for her but she fell asleep on the couch so I ate alone. Brandi stopped after supper with 3 new projects to get reloved. Our consult came up with enough ideas she needs to think and pinterest to see finished. The crappy windy cool day high of 5 even blew snow around as Brandi left but only lasted briefly.
Britt awoke and was off to a sleepover and party with Brooke after 8. I spent the next hour sanding the writing desk and hammering the top on, while sanding the area on top had been filled, the old putty was cracked and needed removing so out it came. This intrigues me, what was this area used for, it is inset on 2 sides and a ledge at the front like something slide in, any ideas?
my hands vibrated after the sanding, hahaha Time to come in at 10 and share my day with you.
I forgot a couple pictures from yesterdays blog so added them but here is one to share today. Lexi and her "favorite" auntie. Lexi loves the ranch!
