I haven't been blogging, but I have been working on my chair.  It's beginning to take shape which is great.  It's just been toooooo hot to sit outside and work on it. I hope we cool off soon.  I don't care that it is the end of June.

I was too tired yesterday to work on my table and chair set.  Since I was off today I wasn't too worried about it.  But I worked 4 plus hours on it today and I'm nowhere near done.  But it's nice to see how it's coming along though.


I got the white done on the table and the chair.  I got the first coat of purple on the table and it is really beginning to take a nice shape.  I'm hoping to have it done and finished by Saturday and I will post pictures.

I am exhausted!!!  I started on my table today.  I worked for two hours today.  I sanded the table nice and smooth.  It had a layer of mint green [like mint chocolate chip ice cream] and then a shade of medium olive green paint.  Then I brushed off all of the dust from the sanding and then I used a sponge to wipe off all of the left over dust. It looks soo much better.


After that dried I painted the first coat of white paint.  Tomorrow's POA is to put on the second coat of white paint.  It looks like a four day project, but it gives me something to do other than the boob tube.


And that's just the table.  The chair is in good shape.  No sanding there.  All I need to do is to clean it off, let it dry and then paint.  Lots of painter's tape used today and some more to be used. Oh boy...

Today I got a square table at Deseret Industries for $5. Then I borrowed my friend Kathy's electric sander. Tomorrow I will start on the sanding.  When it is nice and smooth I will be painting it both purple and white.  I hope it looks as good as the table I did two years ago.  Stay posted.
