Happenings in the Workshop

I have not posted in a while.  Probably because I have so

many unfinished projects on the go and wanted to show

the pictures of the finished pieces.

The shop has been too cold too paint but the electrician

is coming in and fixing us up. 

Here are some of the projects we have been working

over the past while.

The buffet and hutch was built around the antique doors.

I love this hardware. 

They are called Rattail Hinges.

Mousey Hinges would have sounded better.

They are a little tricky and time consuming though.

 Well worth it when all is completed.

There are doors and shelves for this armoire.

When I get a chance I will paint it blue

and add a saying somewhere then

antique the whole piece.

A friend picked up this piece and painted

it white. The mirror is so pretty.  It sold very quickly.

I will post pictures of the kitchen we will 

be finishing off over the next couple of weeks.

I love the pantry so will get those pics up as

we are finishing it.

So many wonderful things to create.

Change The World

Change the World Movie:

(Click above to view movie)

I truly believe that most of the time...less is more. Sometimes, certain things viewed in certain ways have the ability to make an impact on our life in a positive way. I think Eleanor Roosevelt said it best, "It is not fair to ask of others, what you are unwilling to do yourself".

I hope this movies inspires all of us to be our own best this coming new year. 

Marianne Williamson once said:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, 

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not

serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that 

other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God

that is within us. 

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people permission

to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others.”

 

A Happy New Year to you and yours.

PS

I am so excited about creating new things

this coming year.

I already have quite a lengthy list of great things to share

with you in the upcoming posts.

 

Nothing will get done though if I do not stay off

Pinterest :-)

A Little Reminder For The Season

I just wanted to share this with everyone.

A little reminder of how such little acts of

kindness and compassion can change

the life of a stranger.

Charming Blackboards

Blackboards add so much charm to any room.

I love the one in the bathroom.

Thank you to those who shared these pictures.

Please enjoy this second video by Napoleon Hill.

He has some great advice.  I actually

do listen to this stuff while working away in my shop.

I need all the help I can get sometimes :-)
