I've just discovered Annie Sloan paints and am thrilled with the results so far. I painted a buffet and am going to do my dining room chairs next. Kind of nervous about that but I love the paint so it should turn out OK. I am so ready for Fall and can't wait for the days to cool off. 92 forecast for today.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675573152135600754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-55933059677418236932014-09-04T00:27:04.324-04:002014-09-04T00:27:04.324-04:00The secretary is wonderful and all of those cups a...The secretary is wonderful and all of those cups are gorgeous.<br />What a fun quilt.

In a nutshell, it was nothing exciting like a bender, though my knees and hand got bent well enough. LOL<br /><br />CHURCH was the scene of the first episode. Some young lady crunched my hand in an alleged handshake at church.Yes, you read that correctly. Episcopalians don't shake quite as hard as the Baptists, and I came out on the losing end. ;-) I was with a friend at a special service at her church, and the young lady was, I think, keyed up from a stellar performance of violin. Then again, she could have been strength training as her mom is also a personal trainer. Take your pick! But now I know I would no longer win in in an Indian wrestling competition. The second it happened, I felt it go, and then it swelled almost immediately. To my credit, I did not holler out loud. Only silently, and that was LOUD. ;-)<br /><br />The knees are compliments of FPL whose truck parked itself outside our front windows around bedtime with a flashing yellow light that was akin to a disco strobe and a Diesel engine running. I got up to ask him to move since I ascertained he was doing paperwork and not working on power lines, and being sleepy and still favoring my right knee from the fall last fall (out of habit), I tripped. Naturally, he left the next second! I mean it! Literally left as I was lying in a puddle of broken Chinese porcelain and papers! And the worst thing is, he parked in front of a fire hydrant and didn't even get a ticket! ;-) <br /><br />Doing much better, but my knees are still skinned. I would like to skin one lineman. Yet, they keep our house nice and cool in the Florida sunshine. So I'll give him a pass and the girl, too. At least she wasn't out getting all tattooed. Thank goodness for small wonders. :-)<br /><br />xoxoxo<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-54197381807630546262014-08-29T07:19:15.487-04:002014-08-29T07:19:15.487-04:00I am guessing that your block is either the purple...I am guessing that your block is either the purple one to match the agapanthus or the pink one in the front that looks like it might have slices of lemon. My guess is the latter. ;-)<br /><br />I love your table, your new cabinet, and that delicious lemon dessert. I love lemon, too! <br /><br />I am so sorry to hear your husband hasn't been feeling well, and I send prayers to him for healing. <br /><br />I have been MIA but decided to pop back into the water before summer's end. I think Kathleen's challenge is he perfect opportunity. I had the photos from last year and hadn't posted them yet! :-)<br /><br />Sending warm hugs and love your way...<br /><br />xo<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.com
