Weekend

I spent Saturday in Boston browsing the shops for some inspiration for Christmas presents.  I came home a little disappointed I was not enthralled with very much at all.  Even some of the bigger stores were a let down.  I have to admit the price tags were a little off putting too.  Back to the drawing board I think.

Time was also spent finishing the table that was started some months ago.  A chair and cushion have also been added with another one half finished and will be completed today.

 

The wrought iron singer treadle was purchased sometime ago and was in quite a mess, so it was painted using enamel paint in white.

 

The table was bought from a car boot sale and the legs taken off.  It was then stripped, painted and sanded back a little to give the shabby chic look.

 

 

It was then stamped using archival ink and finished with a thin coat of wax.  I am impressed with it, a wonderful addition to the craft room.

 

 

I just need to go in there this morning and rearrange all the furniture, exciting times.  Another project ticked off the list. 

 

Have you got projects that you never seem to get finished?

 

See you soon.
