I could have stayed in the French Provence
and not have come back to reality....how about you?
and not have come back to reality....how about you?
Thank you to all who came along...I hope you enjoyed our little virtual vacation.
O.k....so I am back to my life...
O.k....so I am back to my life...
Not that I have a bad one...
I am very grateful for my blessings and the life I live.
The reality I am talking about...
Projects...
too many still unfinished and making my life chaotic!
Everyday a little closer to having our lives back to the so called "normal".
I thought I would share just a few of the
many projects I am currently working on...
As you can see lot's of things still a work in progress...
hopefully though, I will have some of these finished to show next week.
I have been unpacking lots of boxes and
now have to find a place for everything.
Here is the dresser after I stained the top...this wood is gorgeous!
It has a mirror with a frame that goes on top of it.
At first I had decided to use the mirror elsewhere,
but since have changed my mind...
Here are all the pieces that go to the frame for the mirror.
I have stripped the old paint and stain and will have to
put it back together and then finish painting it.
I am in love with the detailed carvings...so pretty!
This is the base to our kitchen table that is getting painted.
It's primed and now needs to be sprayed with the paint color.
Next post I will be showing what I added to my lampshade's.
A peek at some new designs I have been working on for my Etsy...
Light grey dupioni silk, glass beads and honeycomb smocking...
A pretty soft blue-grey linen and fabric butterflies...
As you can see many things to still finish...
I need more time, energy and hands to get it all done! :)
As my husband always says to me...
"How do you eat an elephant?"
(my question,"Why would I want to?!")
his reply..."One bite at a time". ;)
I hope to visit soon and catch up on all I have missed...
I think of you all often. Thank you for your friendships and support!
I will be lost in projects and trying to get my life back to some kind of "normal"!
Have a great weekend!!
Hugs,

Wow you are one busy lady!! Love that dresser
ReplyDeleteI think you need a cute apron to wear when you do all of that work so come by and enter to win an apron from my giveaway!!
Cannot WAIT to see the finished pics of that dresser. It is STUNNING!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm in love with the gray silk and honeycomb smocking...whatever it is I want one. I can't wait to see all of your finished projects, they all look well on there way. I totally understand taking time off to get life under control. I often try to eat elephants, but I'm a little greedy and bite off more than I can chew. Good luck with everything. So glad to see you and know what you are up to these days.
ReplyDeleteTake Care, { hugs } Carrie
