Project 26 Ebay for August 2019

This will be short and quick.  I only sold 5 things for the month of August.  I really didn't list much.  My heart just wasn't in it this month.

Project 20 Maryland China Box

It's been a long time but the finally I have a finish.  I bought this at Goodwill for $1.99.  Of course I thought I could save it.

 

There was an indention so I thought this screamed for tiles.

 

I decided to try alcohol painting.  It took me a while but I got the hang of it.

 

What I liked the most was you could erase it and start over.

 

A long time coming but I have a finish.

Project 15 Here There Be Monsters

This took me awhile longer than expected.  It's summer and I was up and down not concentrating at all.  This is Elizabeth's Needlework Designs Antique Celtic Sampler.  I saw this on an ebay lot and knew I would be stitching it.

 

 

It is framed and hung.  You can't see but it does not have glass over it.

 

Charlie decided to help me.  I put the frame, glass, sticky board, fabric in the chair and went to get something.  I came back and he was sitting on it.  The glass was cracked.

 

 

 

This is my collection of samplers so far.

Working on more finishes this weekend!

Project 4 Living Room Window

 

Finally this project is done!!  I've been working on this one since June.  I have lived in my house for 18 years.  I have replaced all of the windows except for this one.

 

 

 

It was the biggest and I really didn't know where to begin.  But it was leaking air bad!  Begin with a call to Pella and this is what you get.

 

 

I love it.  The room is cool instead of hot and humid.  The coating (tint) resists the sun so I'm no longer baking and hopefully I won't freeze either.

 

Very happy with this finish!!

Project 21 Ebay July 2019

Forgot to update this one.  I only sold 8 items in July, 2019.  All I can say is that's more than June.  I listed a lot of items for August today.

Hopefully, I will do even better in August.
