Finished

My theme for this weekend was "finished " because I was desperate to finish something. Anything. I have so many things in states of "half finished" I'm feeling like a crappy failure.  I REALLY  want to start something new but promised myself I wouldn't start anything new until I'd finished something old. Or several old somethings. Let me just say promising yourself sucks.  

Indy and Lola's quilt - Finished.

Devil's food cupcakes with chocolate maple icing. Ummmm...Started and Finished. Literally.

 Mug Rugs 8 of them. Finished.

The Blackwood Chair.  Finished. Finally.  

Sanding the desk- Finished.

My assistant sander. I'll mould that kid into a tradie yet. I'm starting early.

Sneak peek of yummy bits for the desk....

More painting...It's NEVER going to be finished. Confession: Mr. P did this painting. It was easier than listening to me whinge. These are meat safe bits. Yes. Still.

Started . Sanding the old door we brought home two weeks ago. Which at some point will mean more painting. And a lot more sanding. What was I thinking ?  I'm an idiot.

I'm so tired I can't even think about next week. No goals. No pressure.  I hope your weekend has been fabulously creative! 

A Chair Tale

I'm in the process of losing my voice. Mr. P is secretly thrilled. There will be no respite for you lot- I can still type. Sorry.

It's been a lazy day at Maison Pyjamas. I wasn't completely idle but Sunday certainly lacked the frenzied  sewing achievements of the past two weekends. Sometimes you just have to take it easy ya know? 

Today I set about finishing the stripping of THE BLACKWOOD CHAIR.  (Yes we have come to think of the chair in capitals ) Cost of Chair 20 bucks. Cost to get it to this point- about 50 bucks worth of sanding sheets and paint stripper, four fingernails  and approximately 1287 hours of labour.   Madness. I'd better love the socks off it when it's finished.

P.S. Thank you everyone for your comments on my "Yay , I'm not dying post". I was a little overcome to be honest. Who says bloggy friends aren't real friends eh? (Yep I'm practicing Canadian, Nanci)

Finished.

It was a weekend of finishes.
