aluminum instead of chrome
kitchen is done

a rerun

 I stippled what I think is the last coat of white enamel paint on the kitchen countertops this morning.  I'll let it dry today, then tonight I'll burnish it smooth with a piece of wadded up paper bag.  That's the same technique I used when I painted Susan's tomb....which made me think of it, so I thought I'd rerun that post. 

Susan, can you believe it's been five years since I made the tomb for you?  Which also makes me think I need to get my butt in gear on this year's present.  I got off to a roaring start a month ago,  but haven't done much on it since.

It's the showpiece of my Halloween decorating every year, and always the start of great conversations when we have people over - I'll always consider it one of your greatest masterpieces, no matter how many great works you create.
And honestly, I feel blessed to be it's caretaker.
I would have paid hundreds to own it, but it's in my possession because of friendship and love, instead of money.

Five years??
Nuh uh!
Really?

You know you never have to make me anything - our greatest gift to each other is knowing that there is never any pressure to create - if it isn't fun, it's not something we should be doing for each other.
I know you know that, but wanted to reiterate.

Now I need to figure out what I'm going to make for you this year - I have three ideas running around my brain, getting caught in the cobwebs up there.
