as you have now resaturated my laundry, my almost built duck pen
my almost built chicken pen
and my hopes of finishing them up today
yesterday was majorly productive
bernie got one duck pen almost done, and fixed the hoses on the washer, ran and got mail and bird food and hay
i got the living room mini blinds scrubbed, the windows clean, laundry washed and hung
lunch and supper made
food shopping ( we both went)
and i got a bargin on beads at ac moore
plus (with the 40% off coupon) the latest 'where women create'
it's ridiculously expensive and i would have preferred the 50% off coupon for it
but it's a real treat
and today i have to run for bacon, at 1.99 a pound
15 pounds should be enough
caluclated at about 1/2 pound per week and not every week
maybe i better get 20?
i got ten more pounds of butter, it will go on sale again and next time i'll get 15
plus whatever i get at sam's to freeze
and the stuff i have canned
since bernie's cholesterol is fine and mine is actually a bit too low
we are ok with the bacon
now this rain is going to put the stop on the porcelain end of things as i can't bring the molds out and brush them/clean them out
nor can i wrap them with all this moisture
i have to find another area to work on
now i have a question for you all
i got a new workbench for the doll dressing/general crafts/miniature making
it's got gray (ewwwwwwww) metal legs
i am debating on the following
vi's new work table
which one should i do
skirting the table
painting the legs either a cool girlie color, or black and white checkerboard
decoupaging roses on them
hand painting some funky swirly thingies
now remember i am going to end up with toile one way or another in part of the studio
most likely in reholstered chairs and pillows for them
possibly also a lead edge on some drop cloth drapes
so i could use some votes for this ok?
edited to add
btw
on the way home last night
we almost HIT a trio of deer
two BUCKS (about 4 pointers ) and a spotted fawn!
no does!
shocked us silly
I vote for painting!! Whatever fun pattern you want.
ReplyDeleteI have read bacon only keeps in the freezer for a few months.... food for thought.
don't believe everything you hear
ReplyDeletei have regularly kept the bacon for over a year
vi
I'd paint the legs with a little pattern. If that ends up taking a long time, I'd switch to just a nice color. If you can get something pleasing as quickly as possible, I think it will help push things along. I know I can get hung up on a project because I want some small detail just so, and it is counterproductive on some things for me.
