The weather here has been crazy good. It is January and it is 70 degrees out yesterday and today. Wow, 70 in January. It is beautiful. I am going to repurpose a pair of crib springs.
I Â also need to work on my squares for the 4 blocks a week. I am behind and I try to stay a little ahead on that challenge. I also feel behind on the Use Your Stash Challenge. I guess last year I really worked quickly. This year I am doing great projects but I also have some custom work that is slowing me down and I am doing some big projects at the start rather than at the end.
So I got out the spray paint. I have been waiting for a warm day with low wind. You noticed that I didn’t say no wind. I live in Oklahoma and that wind really does blow, every single day!
I have been wanting to spray paint these wooden Christmas trees gold, ever since I asked the kids their permission. They were painted to look like Christmas trees complete with ornaments. So, I yanked them out of the Christmas decoration box and got the gold spray paint out. I am afraid I will forget and lose the gold spray paint before Christmas season next year, besides the Christmas season is always so rushed.
I also wanted to prime this baby crib spring. I have done one side with primer and now I am waiting to do the other side.The timer is set and I am hanging out on the couch until time to jump up and put another coat on.
 The trees I want to put on my mantel at Christmas and the weather at Christmas time was just not right. Since I had the tarp out I decided to do it last week and then pack them away for the year.
This is what I am going to do with the crib springs, but I’m painting mine dark bronze. I have two and actually I may give one to my daughter in law. She said she might want one.
Here is another one.
I should have some  great progress to chart this week. I am still working on my To Do list and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
It is time to get out and paint some more.
Talk to you later,
Karen
