Tomorrow is Saturday and I’m going to attempt something pretty wild. I’m going to take 1 day, $27, 1 pieced together dinning set and give you a makeover reveal. Yep that’s the plan. I so wanted to do it today after I got home from teaching but Greg had made other plans. Those plans were to spend time with me. So I sat it aside for my Saturday project.
I’m planning on getting up at my regular time around 4am and start the process of the makeover. I already bought the paints and all the pieces are sitting in my garage. I had to spend a few hot hours down at my storage digging out just the right pieces to make one set. I try to always have a plan for every piece I find or buy. Sometimes I know what I want to do with things but I have to collect other parts. So until then I keep those pieces neatly packed away for future plans.
This set will be charming and full of color. In all there are 6 colors in this piece. I know, I got a bit carried away but it all works when put together. This piece will be a great pop of color to any kitchen or small dining room. Later next week there are plans to add a side serving piece to compliment the table set. I’m not a person that needs everything to match. I like for all the pieces in my home to compliment the other pieces but matching isn’t important to me. So when I do pieces for the Blue Happy store I like to offer pieces that compliment each other. My plan is to get this done and have it delivered to Doc Holliday’s sometime Saturday afternoon. I’ll post it on the Blue Happy Facebook page when it arrives. So be looking for a Saturday Blog that’s fun and colorful!!
Someone said to me the other day “I wish I had half of your creativity”. What a compliment and I so appreciate those words. Sometimes all the creativity in my head can cause me to come off a bit weird and odd. Most people think I’m moody or emotional. Recently some even thought I was going through something life changing. If you aren’t of a creative soul it can be hard for you to understand those of us that are. Just know I’m not crazy, not going through something, moody or emotional. I’m just an artist with many creative things going on in my head that sometimes makes me seem distant, withdrawn and quiet. I use to be afraid to tell people I was an artist when they ask “what do you do”. I wasn’t grown from a place that approved of the arts. My home place was made up of blue color, hardworking and farm to table kinda people. All good people but lets face it to be an artist, a true artist you have to be somewhat of a dreamer. Back home over 35 years ago there wasn’t much room for dreamers in a dawn to dusk working lifestyle. I don’t care much for my childhood but I do appreciate those small parts of life I now see as learning moments in my life. Good people walk through our lives and sometimes we don’t see the value until years later.
Life is funny, confusing and full of learning points. Recently something changed in my life that I had NO control over. I questioned it and still I was given no clear answer. I’ve prayed about it and still I’m not clear on why or what it all means. There are days I think I have it figured out and there are days I still feel so hurt over it all. I keep hoping that the person involved will open up and explain to me why. All I get is more confusion and more unanswered questions. I know God has a plan and He can see the full picture and I only get a small peep-hole. Sometimes the hardest part is Faith in the waiting. So for now I’m going to trust in my faith and pray for peace. I’ll watch for the value in all of this because I know He has a plan. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future”. These are words to settle my heart.
