Antiquing Trip

Hubby and I spent yesterday afternoon browsing Green Oak Antiques. What a fabulous place to visit! They have everything. I am chomping at the bit, ready to get out there and start yard saling once again. Spring is getting ever so close!

New Magazine


As I was looking for Ki's latest "Flea Market Style" magazine, I ran into a new premier magazine, "Flea Market Gardens" for $9.99. Wow! I knew I just had to buy it. It's right up my alley. It was worth every penny. Loaded with great ideas to decorate your garden with those flea market finds. I was going to get my veggie starts planted, but after browsing the magazine, I want to make sure to get lots of petunias and other flowers started also!

Remember the Chair?

Do you remember the chair that I've been painting? This is the latest. I don't know what got into me? I think the winter blues drove me to this madness. I've been roaming the house just looking for anything I can set my paint brush upon. My husband is cringing as I'm eyeballing a dresser in our bedroom. Hmmm...looks like fun! I think I'll call this chair finished unless something possesses me to add more design. This project has really stirred a list of goals within me. I've been busily writing them on paper. It seems like I went through a long dry spell, not wanting to work in my little workshop. I was getting worried. Thought the creative spirit had left me. So I'm just rejoicing because it's back!!!

Tweaking the Chair

Finally! I am finished with the chair project. (I think!) I ended up changing the paint. I wasn't happy with how dark it turned out the first time, so I brightened it up. I'm still trying to decide if I should paint designs on it, but for now, I will leave it the way it is.

Harley

This is the latest picture of our little Harley. He will be six months old on Friday. To think he's only half grown. I think he will be a moose!

Funky Chair

The latest project I've been working on. I am going to repaint the purple. Not happy with it, I think it's too dark. I am so happy that my creative juices are flowing once again. I put it on the shelf for several years trying to tap into it several times, but just had some kind of blockage in that area. I love just cranking up the jams and letting loose. I think I will set this chair on my front porch with a flower pot this summer. What do you think?
