I am off on a four day weekend with Monday
being BC Day (a Canadian Civic Holiday).
The Stellar Jay is the Provincial Bird of BC
I must admit I have been a lazy girl...reading
and puttering but not getting much of anything
done! (Don't 'ya love it?) Here's what
I am reading:
It's riveting!
In the meantime....
I did find this little mirror to fit over my dresser:
I am still not great at remembering to take the "before"
picture but here it is with a base coat of white (it was
just plain pine from Ikea).
I liked the fact it has the little pegs across the bottom
to hang my bracelets and necklaces on.
Here it is with a coat of pink:
Next I put some little stencils on using Stayzon Ink.....
I sanded the mirror and the stencils and added some
"Distressed" Walnut ink with a makeup sponge:
Once it was all dry I added a light coat of Verathane to seal
it. And voila - the perfect little mirror for my coved
ceilings (so low you have to duck unless you are dead
center in the room!)
So that's what I've been doing - how about you?
I have quite a few projects lined up and am going to fly 'atter
tomorrow....but that's tomorrow....
Until then, blessing you and yours - I'm
back to my book......
