I think I see beads in the future of this furniture!

Luckily,
Mary Clare volunteered Tom to make Pixie a new table on which to dine.
Yes, she has her own table.
As I carried her old table out to wash it down,
the table, literally, fell apart in my hands. 
By that evening, Pixie had a new table!
However, I do have to paint it,
so, until the painting is finished,
Pixie is eating off a kitchen chair.
She's such a diva!!!!!

Here's her new, unfinished table.

Isn't this nice?
We calculated, roughly, that the old table, having been through 2 dogs and Pixie was almost 20 years old.

Pixie will enjoy her new table.


This is the table with primer drying.
Do you see it drying?  :)

I plan to paint the table white with a high gloss white paint.

Now, you get to vote.
Do you think I should glue beads onto the edge?

Still thinking.
Let me know!!

I'm Still Amazed By What I Find When I Clean

More Cleaning,
Another Great Find in an Old birthday card
handcrafated by my son, Nick.

Isn't this great?
I'm still smiling about this "coupon."
I can't remember if I ever used it or not.

It Seemed Like a Good Idea At the Time

I own a Big Kick Machine.
With this machine I am able to emboss and add texture to metals.

I put in the template for the design.
I added the polymer clay...
She skids to a stop!
What?
I thought it was a good idea at the time.
I opened up the template.
There was my polymer clay
STUCK
in all the impressions.
I still haven't been able to clean it all out.
We'll see what happens,
but it seemed like a great idea at the time!
Oh, well!
