Uh Oh!

It's Thursday.

I have no prior commitments!

I've been left unsupervised!

Oh the potential.

I have a couple of plants to re-pot. Love playing in the dirt. Gonna put some good Joni Mitchell and James Taylor music on. The plants really like it and it helps with the trauma.

There is a quilt to finish, just the final touches.

But first, a new project: painting hangers!
Okay, my friends, this may sound weird but I have this idea, probably saw it somewhere because I don't think it gave birth in my head.

I have three wooden hangers for slacks or skirts. Part metal and part wood.

No more skirts for this one!

I've decided to paint the metal in a copper create a verdigris patina. Then I will distress the wood a tiny bit and paint it white with a dry brush. After the three of them are dry, I am going to hang them in my studio vertically and use them as photo frames for 8 x 10's.  I asked the guy if he would have the lab print the photos with two inch white borders and he said it was doable!

Seriously, I should not be left unsupervised!

I'm also not going to juice today but I'm going to have oatmeal with a banana (just in case you cared to know how seriously I can get into trouble).

  1. I hope you show the hangers when you finish painting. I have seen similar in shops which are, naturally, two, three or more times more than a plan wooden hanger.

    1. I will definitely post a picture when I'm done. Martha said she saw some on Pintrest. I think that may be where I saw them. It is always more fun to make your own than to buy!

  4. That's really neat. We were discussing a white paint job here, ourselves. Substantially larger, thought.

    1. Good luck with your painting. I just finished painting bathroom and master bedroom. Lots of work but I love it!
