Finally Another Post
I can't believe it's been two months since I've been on here. Life has really gotten in the way...in so many ways. But, I'm back! I think another reason for not posting in so long is that I have TOO many projects going at once.
I bought a few chairs to upcycle. All are for AmyLyn's new apartment. Two kitchen chairs and one livingroom chair. The two kitchen chairs will be painted with milk paint (missmustardseed.com) and the livingroom chair will have a new slipcover made from canvas paint dropcloths (www.pinkandpolkadot.net/2010/02/how-to-make-custom-slipcover.html).
I still have not finished the crate coffee table. I needed Nathan to help me get the crates screwed together...they were not "squared" and the slats were all "wonky". That's finally done. I have all the parts stained and just need to get it all assembled.
I have another crocheted throw in the works. A small shelf and vase in the process of being painted/antiqued, throw in some gardening...and more...it's ridiculous. Add to that a sick family member, birthdays and Easter.
But, I'm not complaining...I am truly blessed. I just wish I could finish ONE thing. Nathan was offering to help me get the table put together today, but, after working in the sun potting some new hydrangeas and blueberry plants...and chasing four dogs (doggie sitting for my son's two little ones, plus my two) I was "pooped".
We had a very nice Easter. An early service, breakfast, egg & scavenger hunt, and then another service. Someone raised their hand during during the closing prayer indicating they accepted Jesus as their Saviour...awesome! Then lunch with the family. God is SO good!
