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.

Taking Nana around the valley while Bev and Brett are gone

Nana, whose 98, and I went to the copper mine, Saltaire and the marina.  We had a great time.

 Great Salt Lake behind me and to my left with the Saltaire to my right.

 A reproduction of the original Saltaire.  The first two burned down and the third one has flooded.  The first one had a roller coaster, roller rink and the largest dance floor in the country at the beginning of the last century.

New Watch bands

Made some watch bands and stretchy bracelets that I'm putting into my yard sale next week.  I hope they sell.  The best way to get a picture was to put them inside the top of a box.  Everything else seems to glare from the camera flash.  These look pretty good.  They are different sizes.

finally done

I have finally finished the first of two baby/lap quilts.  I have a little more to do on the other and will post photo when finished.  I have also done some hair barrettes.  All are for sell.  Let me know if you're interested and we'll talk about price. I really need to figure out a way to get better shots.

 The bows are on the back of the quilt.

 Quilt with borders and quilting done, but no binding yet.  This is the finished one.
