Howdy Loft E Peepers!

Well how y'all doing?

I have been busy painting furniture, window frames, statues, plant stand, fiber glass pots, store signs, etc. Ya, been mucho busy lately. Oh, and also put a high gloss protective coat on the little bamboo bath stand I got at auction. Have started gluing mosaic tile on the three shelves.

Found the perfect high gloss paint in pale sage type colour for two bucks at ReStore. Its for the hideous mailbox. I will take before and after photos. The wicker chair I repainted looks brand new again! ! One arm needs repair, which I will fix as soon as I find a good wicker supplier. Yes, I am a woman of many talents.

Oh, and scored 14 gorgeous rugs for a buck fifty a piece ..... retail price? fifty bucks each! !!

Beat that tighwad fans

Hi Sulene, welcome to the second half.
Sweet Bliss, I get exhausted just reading your post. I laze about on pinterest and dream while you are doing it. Strong? You're invincible.

Yeah, 50 was a bit rough for me at first, but the years since have been a breeze. lol

Thank you Sir Galahad!

I will wake up before dawn on the 57th anniversary of my birth tomorrow.

I am so grateful for all my gifts and blessings.

Thank you all for joining my celebration of life.

Sweet Bliss,

Top o' the mornin'. I can commiserate with you about rehab. Just this week I am having a decorator begin the tedious process of making a silk purse out of a sows ear. More succinctly, "covering up" old and tired looking wood paneling in 3 rooms. I am eager to see the results. Good luck on your re-do.

Sweet Bliss · 11-13-2013, 06:06 PM

Hello Lofty folks!

Lord am I tired! Been putzing around doing this and that. Repurposed four faux suede curtains. Turned them horizontal, added tabs on top, voila'! perfect size for Grace's windows. The yard sale rods look fabulous with my new curtains. Sewed casing in canvas painters cloth, now i have fab heavy curtain for windshield area.

On Pinterest someone pinned these beautiful hand painted pillows, look like water colours. So gorgeous. Well, according to an enterprising woman we can create the same effect with sharpie pens and rubbing alcohol. Guess what I just purchased?? Yep.

Call me loony, but i am going to have some fabulous soft furnishings.

Finished re-painting bathroom door leading to garage. Two coats of lovely pale blue. used large floor fan to speed up the drying process. It needs some kind of sumpin. It's too plain. Painted wall behind toilet. not sure what I will do to spruce up that area.

Earlier I used a stencil to create a soft floral design. Didn't like it at first. am thinking it needs a different touch. Not sure about the effect I want. Will dream about this.

I'm hungry... did more stuff ..... mint tea sounds good.

Not much of a camper type but what a treat for the women who enjoy that kind of thing.

No dogs....say what?!

What self respecting licensed and registered lesbian has no pooches?

Excellent question.

How many do you live with?

Happy_Go_Lucky · 11-15-2013, 07:49 AM

All five of my hairballs shed their fur at my place.

The GD dog is the newest childrenz knowing that the oldest rescue was on her last leg. The old girl had been limping, sluggish. Being 14, well you know....

By a sheer miracle however, old limpy was replaced with a bouncy dog full of vigor and sudden mischief when The German Shepard pup arrived. Alas! a spring in her 14 year old paw and doesn't meet a ball (or round object) she won't chase.

Having a young 'un around has evidently been her Fountain of Youth.

Lots of fun at your place! Little Mister is old and disabled now. He has 3 cat sisters. They love him because he never chases them. He is the baby. Cause he needs the most care. Cats are, well, cats.

Post pics of your babies in the pet gallery if you wish, am sure I am not the only pet lover here.

The only thing that is ticking me off right now is that my neighbor is NOT picking up his leaves!

I have been mulching, raking, raking and mulching.
What good does this do when we have 40 mph winds today?

My point and I DO have one (besides the one I put a cap on) is that my life is so calm and relatively peaceful (less dealing with a pervert) that my biggest complaint is my neighbors leaves????

Life is good for me. Any complaints would be a huge fat prevarication!

Well, you could rake his leaves and use them for YOUR mulch and compost. Do you save egg shells and other organic material for your garden and lawn?

eggs are good for roses i read somewhere.

I take 25+ pills per day just to feel good. I am thankful that I have great insurance that cuts my cost to make it affordable to feel good. Red and I talked about our rising medical costs and came to the conclusion that a better life through chemistry is awesome!
