Projects

                    This is a project I decided to see if I could do myself.  I have been looking for giant block letters that can sit up on their own and just haven't found what I have been looking for.  So to start off, I made these stencils.  Then I traced them onto cardboard and cut them out...

    ....then I took a break to take this picture of my Goodwill purchase that I repainted for Mitch's "Hideout"...I LOVE this table :)

   okay...now back to my letters.  Let me just tell you...the letter A was very time consuming.  Trying to hold it all together while the glue set up; So Mitch helped me tape it...but later I discovered rubberbands work great and I wont have tape marks later.  My goal is to paint them a rustic red and brown (each letter only 1 color) then rough them up with sandpaper to give it a "beat up" look and may even Modge Podge a letter or 2 with vintage writing or music notes.  I know it's hard to visualize the final outcome; it's still trapped in my mind just waiting to come out :)  I will hopefully finish this project and share pictures when it's done!....to be continued!  :)

                On to another project...painting my house.  This is the 4th room Ive done.  This color is called Gardener's Soil.  I know you can't really see it, but it has a touch of plum color in the brown.  Very pretty.  I was scared Mitch might think it was too dark, but he loved it!  Yay!
