If you are a regualar reader on my blog, you know I like to play in various artistic media. One such media is furniture restoration/refinishing etc. This past Thursday was the last day of my "scheduled time" at the location a number of us meet to play. I had this brilliant idea to donate a little half moon table to one of the events I take part in the spring. As you can imagine the piece I chose needed my touch.
For Five On Friday over at Love Made My Home, here is my five things I learned about myself this Thursday.
1. I have too many brilliant ideas, most of which distract me from the task at hand.
2. I love to challenge myself with each piece I restore.
I say this image on The Graphics Fairy site, and decided I needed to search out a piece that would look fab with this transfer on it.

so while it won't be an easel, it will be fab, I'm sure.
3. When I take on a project the juices just flow, BUT, the time is always so limited. Why would I start a new piece on the last day. 'Cause I'm nuts.
4. Most jobs I take on are bigger than I think they will be.
5. The last thing I learned was that I'm more than nuts, I'm efficient, I managed to strip and clean the half moon table , in just a little over 1 hour, I had no intention of a complete makeover, just a lipstick and rouge clean up. It's looking good. It'll be done up and ready for bidding by the time our event rolls around.

I want to be you when I grow up. I want to be crafty but I'm not. I'm going to start with teeny tiny projects a 2 yr. old could do and work my way up.
Number four resonates with me, dear Irene! And I have no doubt you're efficient when you work on your beloved projects. I can't wait to see a picture of your table. xoxo
