Howdy, Howdy

So here we are, a Fall chill is in the air.  The aspen leaves are turning bright yellow.  And Linda is running around like crazy getting ready for show season.  I always say, during Show season, meet me somewhere for a cup of coffee.  Don't come to my messy house!  Ha Ha.  So this is the time of year that I work on finishing up projects and digging thru my collection of treasures to repurpose.  I finished up some of the furniture that I had bought and stored for most of the summer....some longer than that.  These antique chairs, nearly got the better of me:

 I painted them, not once, not twice, but three times  before I found a look that I liked.

 I found this little table at the thrift store for $8.  It might be my favorite remake yet.

This little table was at a thrift store for $5.  The makeover was an easy one.  

I bought this little stool at a garage sale for $5.  The chrome was in good condition but the ugly brown vinyl was paint spattered and had to go.  Wouldn't it make a cute addition to a sewing room?

And this little stool was intriguing when I found it.  I just knew it had to be a snowman.

 I hand painted the snowman but the flakes were from a chalk couture transfer.

I used the transfers on some suitcases as well:

And I love this transfer on this galvanized pumpkin that I bought a year ago....

Well there is too much to put on this humble little blog.  I will be posting more on my facebook page so have a look see and like me too!  facebook.com/3ppod

If I get time, there might even be a tutorial posted.  Busy week ahead.  Gonna go see two old age docs on Monday...hehe....one for my leg and one for my hand.  Tuesday I am getting my windshield replaced and doing a bit of shopping.  Finishing up errands on Wednesday and off to Nebraska for the annual Junk Jaunt on Thursday.  I will be posting all my treasures to be sure!  Have a great week ahead!

Recovery

I really cannot believe that I haven't posted since August 15!  It seems like I am always posting something, facebook, etsy, pinterest and this blog.  How do other folks keep up with it all? 

I had some minor surgery on my leg last Monday.  I thought it was supposed to be easy, peasy, but it really kicked my butt.  I did not get anything done for most of the week. 

It really looks worse than it is and everyday I feel a bit better.  But I get so bored just sitting around.  So, like I always do this time of year, I canned.  I enjoy this so much and I love how beautiful it makes my pantry look. 

Dilly beans, salsa, tomatoes, pickles, relish, and jalapeno jelly.  Yum!

I did work on a few crafts as well.  I have some painting going on but not ready for publication....haha..didn't that sound professional.  I worked on a bit of floral today:

Working on Chalk Couture tomorrow.  Have you checked out my videos yet?  

See them at facebook.com/3ppod  If you haven't liked my page, why don't you do it now?  Lots of good stuff there.....

Well, I am off to put my leg up for a while.  Have a good week, y'all.
