I am soooo excited.  I just got a banged up old solid wood coffee table that needs some love for free!!! Yes, absolutely free.  I could kiss the ground the giver walks on!  I have given many almost brand new items for free over the years but this is the first time I've gotten one.

I took a picture of it for you all to see and once it's refinished I will post a new picture.The other project I have on the go is 4 beat up old kitchen chairs that look like someone left them in the garden for a couple of years.

My husband sees garbage but people like us see potential.  I told him that you need to have a vision.  Anyhow, I need a new hobby since my cowgirl dream kept breaking my bones. This last time has been really hard. It't been over a year now since I broke my back and I' still suffering. So sold the horse...very sad, and needed a new hobby. So added furniture refinishing onto my list of crafting adventures.

I'm also waiting to get a kiln from my bestest friend Kari. So whoo hoo then I can try my hand a pottery.

I'm sure like many of you, there are not enough hours for everything you want to do. It's sad that we have to have a full time job to pay for our creating addictions! I wish I was like Kristen Nichols who lives on a sheep farm and has a studio where she gives classes and creates. Check her out, she is amazing in everything she creates.  I love her work so much. She inspires me and my dream is to have a life like hers.

I took her course on Craftsy on Crewel embroidery and it was so informative.  Sue Spargo is also someone who inspires me. She also has a course on Craftsy on embellishing stiches Check her out.

Till next time.
