Vintage on line

Friday already you say? Well, how can that be? I'm a busy bee here, buzzing around doing lots, but finishing little. I hate that feeling of working so hard but not being able to mark things off my to do list. Juggling taxes, cleaning, organizing, appointments, confirmation, lacrosse, remodeling and projects is making me a little crazy this week. This picture is my reality right now. I'm feeling so inspired to create and having no time or energy left for it. Supplies just waiting for me, calling to me when I walk by.

You can see some of my to do lists in this picture, just waiting for the time when I can clear that table and get busy but today I will be cleaning, ironing and doing some organizing. I'll also be finishing Em's bookshelf and I have a secret to tell you. I didn't hate painting it. Not even a little. I learned that it's all about the right tools and techniques. For me that means primer, a foam roller, Benjamine Moore White Dove paint in aqua pearl finish (thanks to all of you that recommeded it) and letting each coat cure for a day. I'm actually looking forward to painting her dresser next week. But first I'm going to take some time for creative fun and these guys are on the top of my list.
