More Unfinished Business

projects to complete
Remember these three frames from months ago?

Still waiting to be finished.

I like the blue and hate to cover it up, but I need to slather on more layers to get patina perfection.





Once they were cabinet doors.


I glued on some fancy plastic frames.









There are four layers of the paint I learned to mix in the Farragoz course.

Which I have not yet finished.











The first layer of this project completed and then discarded for another time.


A paper napkin Mod Podged onto the back of a canvas.











I may be creative and use the front instead.

Or maybe both sides so there will be a secret piece of art.
















These are usually stacked but now residing in the guest room waiting to be painted.

I tell myself I wanted five of them.





But really I am just procrastinating.










Stacks of shutter slats waiting to become Christmas stars.

And yes, I do realize that holiday is less than 100 days away.

I am trying not to wish my life away.






I am taking my unfinished projects over to Gigi at Saturday's Studio Glimpse (Old World Patina).

See y'all!

Unfinished Business

projects to be finished
Gigi at Old World Patina is encouraging all of us to reveal our unfinished business.

Just put it right out there.

Then share it on Saturday's Studio Glimpse Link Party .

This past week I posted on Departing Baskets and Basket Babies.

BUT what I did not post was the stack of vintage linens to be sorted.





Mount Basket has greatly diminished, but I still have these left to finish.

There is a whole box of items from the store which need mending.

I have dragged home three table whose legs had been broken in the booth.

They sit waiting.




I love this divided crate.

I have started and stopped several times on this.

It has been cleaned.

It has been sanded.

It has two coats of paint.

Now what?






I will be honest this metal piece has been hanging around since before I started blogging.

A friend wanted it painted white for a memo board.

Then she gave it back.

I painted it silver and used it for awhile.

Then sprayed it with blue and black.

Now it stands in the workroom where Horror Monster, my beloved craft stash, resides.




My newest unfinished project involves the vintage hangers I have painted.

Then inspiration died.

I promise I will do better next week.

Or the next.






A finished project of sorts.

My Sweet Autumn Clematis has overtaken the yard with drifts of white blooms.

My vintage green shutter is under there somewhere!










See y'all!


Calling for all projects of any types - both new and old - to be linked up Sunday - 7PM Eastern - at Make It Monday.

Oh, my gosh, that is tomorrow!

I cannot leave that project unfinished.  

I am a co-host!

YIKES!!!




Tamara had this link party for quite awhile and then took a break. Read the Party Announcement at Etcetorize!
