This has felt like the longest weekend- but exactly what I needed to get all that I wanted done! I miss my fellas like crazy but it was so much fun being able to do all this and await the look on his face!
Saturday I awoke to rain and settled into a cup of tea until the rain ended so I could dash to market before I started painting. I picked up some gorgeous blueberries, tomatoes, cucumber and beeswax. I could not resist stopping by a little garage sale on the way home and had another pottery rescue moment. I got these 3 sweet green handmade bowls for .50- yee gads it is painful to see what pottery sells for at garage sales- all the love and soul gone into those pieces- I am a pottery rescuer!
The bulk of yesterday was spent painting. It was my first shot at doing 2-tone walls in one room- I was really happy with it and am painting Silas' room next weekend in a reverse scheme. Before I knew it, I had a dinner party to go to with my family and took fabric along to make curtains at my mama's sewing machine!
Today was spent mostly putting everything back together. Just something about re-arranging and Murphy's Oil soap to love your home! I finished up the new little wood knobs for the thrifted desk for Jasper and made one also for his night stand. These are little arch scraps left over from when I make the marble towers. I just toss them in a bin and they always seem to find a purpose! The monster/imaginary friends art phase Jasper did when he was just starting to draw have always been some of my favorites! I am not sure why but I just love them! So I sanded them up and made them into the knobs- they crack me up!
So I did not take a before picture out of embarrasement of how it looked- but here it is waiting for Jasper to hang art on the walls, I think I might have to make a wall pocket treasure keeper that Soulemama talks about as a project in her new book.
I can't wait for my boys to come home and see! I could not resist and snuck a new little wood present in each of their rooms- I got these from a great Etsian with the intention of saving them for x-mas but they are so cute, I could not resist giving them early- it is the cutest darn alien I have ever seen! I split the set and put Jasper's astronaut and rocket on his desk, and the alien and ship on Silas' desk- so cute!
Thanks for sharing in my photo journey of my solo work weekend- how you had a wonderful freedom weekend also!
