just for you GREEN lovers out there

this is on the one side of our driveway,

i am typing this friday night

but you will see it tomorrow morning

so good morning everyone



bernie is on a road call down the parkway, exit 8

(down da shore for you jersey folks)



in studio news, i spray painted one of my arco parts cabinets white

it was a sort of gray that had yellowed over the years

so that is 4 more arco to do

and ten LARGE plastic drawers to do as well



then some bookcases to paint or decoupage


i am sorta looking around to find a rubber stamp that may work to stamp fabric.......i would like a toile type image



i am finding all sorts of stuffs in there ........oye......



i am thinking toile, ticking stripe and a small check for whatever soft stuff i need in there..... chair covers i suppose and maybe valances for the windows (when we get the new ones in)


the only thing i can't decide is the COLOR of toile

whatever color it ends up
it has to be on a cream groundi used white paint on the arco but i am going to overspray with cream
i can't handle the white

i guess it's a toss up between, purple, red, pink, blue or black toile
with i imagine the blue, black or purple in the running
i am thinking of skirting my workbench so i want it for that and for shelf liners
and i want it WASHABLE
i probably will go with ticking for the shelf liners

i can't afford a really really nice chintz with violets and lavender stripes (which i can't find anyway)

so ticking, checks and toile it will be
(if i EVER get around to it that is)

so i am doing a little bit here and a little bit there in the studio

now a week from this sunday my sister in law colleen (bernie's only NORMAL sister) comes from galveston
where they are STILL rebuilding her houses....
i love this sister in law
this one i figure is MINE............. the others are just bernie's relatives

i enjoy her so very much i can't tell you all
we laugh until we are hoarse
and seriously we lose our voices for a few days every time we get together

so you may not hear from me for the two weeks she's here
i will however try and sneak in and tell you what's going on
and post some pictures

ok?
