Projects, projects, projects.....

Can't stand watching basketball but can't stand to miss it.  Our Mo. State University Bears are playing for the conference title and are losing by just a couple of points.  I had to turn it off or have a nervous breakdown.

Thought I'd show some of my projects I've been working on.  I was bummed because the door on my little chimney cupboard didn't turn out the way I wanted it too .  I've resanded but will have to wait to paint until it warms up a little.  Such a waste of time.
 

Did get Linda's chair done.  The chair ended up being more of a re-upholstery job then a slipcover.  Too many things to go around so just got out the old staple gun & went to town.


These are two of my lampshades.  The first is a chenille and I had several of these little while milkglass lamps.  They're perfect together.  The second is a work-in-progress.  Thought the red ticking would go with lots of things.  I'm thinking I'll make one for myself to go on the backporch.  I love a lamp on the porch.



I purchased this painted canvas with wonderful tags on it.  It's really a work of art with wonderful little treasures attached.

Better get back to work.  Spring Open House is this coming weekend and I still have a million things to do. 

Have a great week!
