Sun glorious Sun

In Michigan you don't take sunny days for granted. We have had a stretch of gloomies. Warm but gloomy. Today a bit colder, 40's ( for us it's actually warmer than normal) but there is SUN!

Todays project. In the background you can see our filled to the brim with rain and melted snow pond. Also the blue sunny sky.

I figured between now and my March show, I may not have an opportunity to paint my new tissue pack rack so I figured today was the day. I have no stock or receive any financial gain for my endorsement, but Krylon metal spray paint is the best I have ever used. It claims to dry in 12 minutes or less and its true. I have used other metal paint and even after sitting overnight it was still sticky. I went to 3 different hardware stores in 3 different towns just to get it. IT IS THAT GOOD! I am an impatient project girl (ADD perhaps?) and cant wait for hours between primer and painting.

And I'm not sure if I am boring you yet with my "new" den. I just can't stop spending time in here. The room even makes our old metal giant desk look good . I'm waiting for more furniture in here before I hang artwork. I need a large bookcase. I have books scattered all over the house and want one spot for them as well as a place for my kids art pieces. I looked at Ikea on line and none of the shelving units appealed to me. I don't want particle board and the real wood one was too pricey and not quite right. I talked to my dad today and I may be running to the lumberyard soon with a DIY project in mind. He is an incredible builder and it gives me an excuse just to hang with him. I love my dad.

Well it's almost time to get the kids from the bus and believe it or not I am in jeans and wearing a bra! I actually had to change from PJ's (don't want to ruin my best outfit) to my grungy old painting jeans so I'm all set.
