Busy day..

But, I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels..did get some household chores done and finished up 2 more little houses..




This one I'm going to keep..it was all cut 'wanky' so I had to do some extra soldering to it. I like how it turned out..but, it's not good enough to put on Etsy...





This one is telling me it needs to go to someone..but has not told me who..so I'm sure it will get put in the mail in the next day or so..just like another one did today..

But the photo of that one came out blurry and it's already out in the big black mail box..so you won't get to see it..dang it..oh well, my BFF since 1st grade is getting it..she reads here sometimes,, so maybe it's a good thing I can't show it..wouldn't be a surprise then, would it?

Here is the "married" table top and bottom:

We are going to keep stuff off of it for another few days so the finish has plenty of time to cure, but we had to bring it in the shop shack to see how it will look..we love it..hub did a good job, didn't he? and he beat his 20 day deadline too! Brownie Points~

Thanks and hugs to all of you who have included us in your prayers, they are working but we've not see complete "daylight" yet on the subject at hand with our son, so please continue..

Have a good Tuesday..

Beautiful things...

Were found in my mail box:


From my friend Sharon @ all Norah's art...I cried when I saw that this. I had admired this wonderful piece on her blog the other day never knowing..she said she left a 'hint'...Sharon!!!! it's beautiful and seems the postal service must have loved it too for not a scuff or mark other than on the stamps were to be found :)


Inside were promised goodies! At Paper Cowgirl, Sharon had told me about the 'super duper' huge Watch/clock crystals she had and promised to share with me...so those were in there and a couple of her prints were in there too! Thank you soo much Sharon! Such a sweetie!

The setting sun was beautiful on this side of the shop shack this evening...

But then, the Moon was beautiful on that side of the Shop Shack.

I found a happy medium on the South end of the building and snapped away at both..

I almost burned the cornbread that was in the oven for supper:

It was good and crunchy..yummy with some butter on it while it was piping hot..Went with the stew that had been simmering the crock pot all day...



Here is the Door to the "man can"..hub's bathroom in the shop..

I'm making it look like the Texas flag..Tomorrow I'll add the star and the white section tomorrow after it all dries good tonight..





Here is one more of my Sally Jean versions of Home Sweet Home:

One more....hang on...

This is the table Hub is making..he's just finishing up the grinding and such so I can prime it tomorrow too..we are then painting it satin black..a red cedar plank top is going on next..

The huge canvas now has a bit of color on it..I glazed it with a bit of raw umber too today..

cup cakes, sparks and trucks..

Salted Caramel Cupcakes!! eeeewww..they were wonderful and we could have ate them all at once but I doled them out for a few nights as dessert...super yummy..I just googled for the recipe and this one had a butter cream icing..deeelish..

Give me some ideas..this necklace seems lacking to me..Can you see how big it is? I think it needs a bigger chain/beads something..I'm at a loss..should it not even be a necklace?? Tell me what you think..

Hub throwing sparks as he cuts the tubing for out new table..he's now got the frame welded up and we found some stars and such for him to weld around the apron area of the frame..we are going to have the top ready to sand this week..found some red cedar planks on our way to Austin a couple of weeks ago at a wood place..

This is what's in my drive way at the moment..not everyone has hole drilling trucks in their drive..All our Oil Field guys are worried about jobs with this new President..it's not looking for for our lively hood out here in the oil field..tough times are coming..we can feel it in the air..When our Government allows China to drill in our waters and not our own companies our government people are making huge mistakes...pray for this country and our leaders...we are..

Thanks for the prayers for our son..please continue..
