Old Wood

I think Steve might hide my paint and brushes after my latest project.

Yesterday I decided to paint more signs using an old cupboard door and a pointed piece of wood I found in the wood pile.

First, I painted both pieces with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Greek Blue.

Next I used stickers to spell out the words.

I like these stickers I bought at Michael's because they are almost 3" high.

I used the same letters on a tablecloth and napkins I made last summer - you can see the project here.

I used small alphabet stickers to spell carol's garden on the pointy piece of wood.

The washed out sign  (I like it that way) is serving an important purpose in the garden - the yarrow always falls to the ground so the sign keep the yarrow standing tall.

Steve would have been quite content for me to leave this sign as it was, but I had ideas which involved him.

Steve drilled holes in the sign and helped me attach a jar to the sign.

Then Steve had to hang the sign for me, but I can't show its home yet - that's a project for tomorrow.

Yesterday was a pretty productive day :

1 keep it simple sign
1 carol's garden sign
150 chocolate chip cookies
75 ice cream sandwiches - and I only ate one.

I hope you had a relaxing Memorial Day - ours was quite relaxed because our street party was yesterday.
