Time to face reality.....


Remember last August when I was getting ready to take button painting seriously???  I set up one of my beloved little hospital tables  and I think I made some brash statement  that if I confined my area I would have to limit the numbers of bottles of paint I was using at one time...

Well I must have made that assumption after a couple of G&Ts because it was pure wishful thinking on my part...








By last month my painting table was looking like this...  There was about two square inches that weren't covered with bottles of paint and, with the ends of the table open,  bottles of paint were falling to the floor...  Of course Morris was always on the watch... chewing the top of paint bottles is one of his favorite pastimes.

So it was out to the barn last week to make a new "topper" for my hospital table.  It is about 4" longer and about 3 " deeper but the biggest change is the long tiered paint rack at the back and I have screwed on trays at each end to keep bottles from falling off...  (Morris going"Grrrrrrr rats! )
Now if you are new to my blog and haven't seen my incredible clever mobile work areas than you might try this  post. (toot! toot! That my own horn)

Wow! What a transformation! That is really wonderful. As I sit here enjoying MY g&t, I can appreciate your verve. You have created an amazing work/play space. Love it. And, I must say, I LOVE your new header! Suzie in Idaho

I read the three connected posts (this one, the one it links to and the one that links to). Wonderful. I especially like the screwed on measuring cup. My mom paints and I think she will like that because she's a;ways worried that the cat will knock over her water jar. And I love what you did with the formerly white, tall cabinet. The ideas are starting to swirl...
