Procrastination

 

This project is really scaring me. I have been looking at it for days now. Everyday I say to myself today is the day. But being a full time nurse and mom is really exhausting. I have 300 painting projects I would just love to do. My average is now down to 1 project every 3 weeks. That really, really stinks. At this rate I will be 85 when I paint this china cabinet. I have to make a pack with me. OK here I go. I will paint at least 1/2 in the morning, no blogging. OK...it's a deal. Starting to feel a little multiple personalityish. I'm pretty sure that one will not pass the spell checker. I really have to overhaul this cabinet. I would like to rid it of it's clutter and rearrange it in a more pleasing pattern. Wish me luck! 

Trash To Treasure...$2.00 Night Stands

 
Here's a project I completed a little earlier this year. Paid $2.00 for each, love the price. $4.00 for 2 side tables for my bedroom. They are simply beautiful now. Constructed well! I used a stain and Poly mix from MinWax, love that product. Covers the worst messes ever. Of course I had to sand just a little. Nothing major. And here they. Of course Months later and I still have not managed to fill them. I will work on that. Organization project I guess. Please check out the Minwax site for some really great projects. Here's a link if you would like to check them out yourself: http://www.minwax.com/projects/storage/ They have downloadable project sheets which are really great.

Pretty Pillows

Pillows are my absolute favorite. They make the home cozy and just beautiful. They create personalization. I love to create them. The pillow with the “R” was created out of recycled fabrics. Sheets. It is so great when you can take something you may be ready to toss and create a beautiful project. This is actually a project I created in 2008. It is still displayed in my home and an absolute favorite. My plan is to start creating lots more as soon as I gut my studio/ office...again. I'm just not happy with it. it's not comfortable for me. This project is starting A.S.A.P. I hate disorganization and clutter. As if you haven't caught this one already. Working full time as a nurse makes all projects difficult to accomplish but I push on. Fall is upon us already and I better get busy.
