Even though today we had all three: sunshine, rain and snow, right now it is sunny again...some of the plants are popping up outside and we have started watering them. There was a chipmonk on our front porch today and the birds are gathering stuff for their nests. I think SPING is finally here!
My project is almost completed. I have painted three chairs, and the table top. One chair is in the process of being stripped, three times! Then the table legs are going to be stripped too. I wanted to leave the table legs "chippy", but Roger felt it looked too primative...a look I love! However, the paint keeps falling off on the area rug! So, I am going to strip them too and paint them. I have to get this done soon, as we are expecting company in about a week and a half.
I am also trying to work on a new lampshade made from denim (old jeans) and old lace too. I'll show a picture when it is completed.
Well, you all have a great week. I am changing jobs soon, and will be very busy...but will try to write while all this is going on!
xxxooo

You sure do sound like a busy bee. I'm jealous of all your energy and delightful projects. I'm feeling a bit lazy lately. Please post photos of your completed projects...I'd love to see them.
You must do the before and after thing so everyone can see your lovely project! It is fun to connect with others from around the Northwest! Please stop by my blog and visit!

I can't wait to see your table and chairs when they're finished. And I hope you will let us see the denim lampshade. My sweetheart is heading for a retreat in Antelope this weekend. That's not too far from you - it's on your side of the mountains! I hear you will probably have more snow in the next couple of days. Nice days to stay in and work on your projects! ~Adrienne~
That was me who deleted the post! For some reason Blogger did something strange and it looked like my first attempt had not posted! Strange!! ~Adrienne~
