Go ahead and say it, I'm a bad blogger. It's been MONTHS since my last post.
Well, someday I'll have the funds to fix my stupid garage and I won't have to keep cooperating with the weather to get stuff done. So, until then, erratic posting it is.
In my defense I have been doing some pretty freaking cool stuff.
Here's a list!
1). I've been collecting orchids. Well, amassing orchids is more accurate. Ok, I have a problem. A very serious orchid problem. It's called Compulsive Orchidacia Acquisition Disorder, or COAD. I rescue them from the discount rack at Lowe's, I take in poorly cared ones from good meaning people, I've even bought a few at retail prices.
Here's one of my favorites.
Isn't he beautiful?
2). Another cool thing (which is sort of an extension of my COAD) is that I've been making plant containers. Mostly hanging ones since orchids are epiphytic but I've made a couple of super neat-o containers that are for sitting somewhere. Like my "trash to treasure swan container". Sorry, no pictures, I'm teasing on that one.
3). I've learned a new and infinitely more efficient way of getting paint off wood. Two words: heat gun. It's quite possibly my favorite toy.
4). I've stripped 6+ layers of decades old paint off a chest of drawers and stained it. That's an active project. I'm still deciding what to do with the drawer pulls. I have all the originals and they're the same wood as the chest. How freaking cool is that!?
Here's a preview:
5). The staircase railing is up. It's gorgeous.
6). I FINALLY hung my stained glass.
7). The monkey and I started on a cat tree.
8). I glittered A dead composer.
9). Oh yeah, I also turned a 1970's model Magnavox cabinet stereo into a terrarium. It's the sexiest terrarium I've ever seen. And, by far my favorite project ever. It even has a waterfall!
I think that's all.
Wait, no. I also decided that Etsy is entirely too complicated and started a store at Storenvy! There's only one item, but I'll get more on there! Also, if you're interested, feel free to ask about custom stuff that you've seen on here.
Here's a link: Accumulated Artifacts Store
THAT is all.
Until next time!
