Get R DONE FRIDAY

Today I am taking part in a new MEME called GET R DONE FRIDAY be sure to go to ClassyChassy's blog to see the other items that your friends have been working on.

I want to thank her for hosting this great MEME it helps give me a little push each week to finish projects I've started and a chance to see what others are doing.

Yesterday I posted a blog about a cute chicken Rissa had bought me, you can read about it here.

Today I want to show what I did with the little "henny penny" as Rissa calls her...she loved it and DH said it was sooo me...wonder why, never painted anything like it before...oh wait I may have painted one or two things like it before..lol...Any whoooo.....Remember this?

I spray painted the whole thing black and then just did my own thing...I started by just making comma strokes and then what I call rain drops to make it look like neck and body feathers...

painted the comb and waddle red, added shading with black and high-lited with yellow

The beak was painted yellow and shaded with burnt sennia and high-lited with pale yellow

Don't know where I want to put her yet, but I do believe she is a keeper....NOW...Maybe I'll keep it here to hang my aprons & hot dog griller on...

Chicken little and the shopping trip....

Good morning ladies, can you believe how long it's been since I have posted on here...I think my excuse is called life..it slipped up behind me and knocked me to my knees...DH is finally feeling a little better and my GD is back in Richland, for a week, she is going to Girl Scout Camp this week. She will be back next week for about 3 days, then it's vacation in the Mountains with her Mom and Dad and Nana and Grumppy, then she heads to Johnson City TN for about 3 weeks with her Nana and Grumpy and then back to Richland before school starts...boy I'm tired already thinking about her schedule...lol...8 yr olds are alot better equip to handle it then us old folks are.

I want everyone to know how sweet this little girl is, Last week we went to Pearl to the Flea Market Mall, of course she had her little purse, never goes anywhere without it, I noticed her over in the corner talking to the lady who was running this store....she took her little billfold out and handed the lady some chance....So nosy me, I take off over to where she was and as the lady handed her a bag, she looked up at me and grinned from ear to ear...I just figured she'd bought her Mom something, cause she doesn't go anywhere without looking for something for her Mom...

Look what was in her little bag,

She told me "I know it is pretty ugly like it is, but I know you can make it beautiful, Granny...

How sweet of her to have that much confidence in me....and she even talked the lady down from $1.25 to .75 cents, smart, cute and a wheeler dealer too.....lol....

Well you all know me, I grabbed the can of spray paint as soon as we got home and this is what it looks like now, BUT...... if you know me at all, you know I'm not through yet...just a little teaser...stay tuned for part 2, to see if it looks better or worse.

Hope everyone has a great week...

Hen in Flowers, Trish McMurry pattern...

Hello y'all, I finally found some time to paint...yea me...I didn't have to go to Jackson (Richland) this week so I took advantage of not having to babysit or work on the house. Already had my house clean so...with DH under the weather, with another sick headache and sleeping most of the day, I tried to be real quite...so I headed to my paint room and lookie what I did.

This is one of my most favorite patterns by Trish McMurry ...

I have had this tray for awhile, my DIL's Mom bought me 3 of them at a yard sale last summer while she was down for a visit. The largest of the 3 I painted for her Birthday last year.
This one is a 14" x 10" oval, just perfect.

I started off by spray painting it Black...

Then I transfered the pattern

This is what it should look like after it is tranfered then the painting begins...

This is the finished project. I have painted this pattern at least 25 times on one item or another, but....I have never painted one for ME. This one is mine. It will go in my new black bedroom next to the bed to hold my candy dish.... or what ever I need it for.
