I did sweep off the deck yesterday and it felt nice to be outdoors. Love the carpenters bench and would love something like that in my (future) garden shed! lol! Yes, it's on the agenda. If not this year, next.

That's a great idea about using shadows to paint things, you can always do it some other time, and I'll have to remember that too, easier than stencils... Did you feel the earthquake last night? It was right between you and me! It woke me up! Ice storm, earthquake, what a weird week, huh?

How I long to be outside and painting something... anything. Your bench turned out just great. Love the flower shadow. I leave my stone crop up too and usually it looks really pretty in the winter, but this year it's buried under snow and can't even be seen. I'm sooo hoping for an early spring.Tuula @ Thrifty Rebel Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774298996059905890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-52762084777221946842014-02-13T09:27:15.589-05:002014-02-13T09:27:15.589-05:00How nice to think of the sun on my face and a pain...How nice to think of the sun on my face and a paint brush in my hand..!

Too bad it did not last longer so you could paint some more furniture. The bench looks great and it would have been neat to paint the flower shadow. This is a good idea for future projects for you, painting shadows. I do not have a steady hand for painting like that, but a good thought. <br />Hope you are enjoying some warmer weather and no ice.<br />Hugs,<br />Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517124107548276200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-74961626280716304762014-02-11T12:12:37.580-05:002014-02-11T12:12:37.580-05:00It looks wonderful.
