Time flies

when you're doing your own thing and enjoying it. It's been almost a month since I was here. I've been sewing and painting furniture and just doing a lot of most enjoyable everything I want to. I love this life!
My most recent project was to paint a plain wood sidetable - it was a bargain at the cost of totally free by picking it up from the side of the road - my favourite green. Once green it looked a bit plain so I used some lovely "shabby chic" mactac from Michaels and lined the drawer. The drawer inspired lining the inside drop-down door. Now the floor of the inside of the cupboard looked pretty plain so that got mactac'd. Then with the two drawers closed the front looked plain so I mac'd the outside of the door. The drawer needed a bit of dazzle so on went the mackytacky with a co-ordinating pattern. Hinges on the drop down door too dark? Painted them. Thought I was finished last night and now I'm looking at it and have to do the top too. At least my personal description of myself as "the luckiest girl in the world" held as I got the crystal "shabby chic" drawer pulls in pink and green I needed for my roadside work-of-art. Michaels had them and they hadn't had them in over a year - lucky, just like I said. :) When I saw them I danced about like a ballerina on crack. Having fun!
