Sun was shining and snow continues to melt hopefully soaking in all that fertilizer S spread. After a couple cappuccinos and getting caught up on work stuff I got busy working. First order was to head out and toss the horses a bale and give supplements. Even at 4, with no wind and lots of sun it felt warmer. Now time to get projects under way. The dark chair was painted a coat of my new Jolie paint that arrived last week in a pretty green.
While that coat dried and I had the paint out I painted a sweet little jewelry box.
A short lunch break of my usual salad of late then both had another coat added. The tray I scrubbed up before the paint class and during the paint class I painted it white was sanded. Then a word was needed in the center. I put out a suggestion box and Amanda had a great one: enjoy. I created a fun font, printed it out and tried my usual way transfer way but no luck so resorted to stenciling.
Now back to the jewelry box; it was sanded, distressed and clear waxed.
While the waxes were out I did the tray after sanding the stenciled area in clear, dark and black. Then photo staging for these two pieces.
Chili was made for supper as Shaina will be here later and I needed something filling. Seeing the weather is to be cool and the nights below freezing I hauled my planters back in I put out this am along with Lola. The green chair was partially sanded and will finish it tomorrow. Time for some chili.
Then it was back to computer work. The jewelry box needed to be posted on my Etsy store and blog posts worked on and photos sorted. Shaina arrived at 10 after her gym stop for her work days. She gobbled down chili and got busy with her homework. Sheldon arrived a little after 11 from his short week. Sadly there was a fatality at his worksite today making for a somber end to his shift. It is the first work related death he has encountered.
