Long, Lazy Weekend

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......
