Time keeps on slipping........................

GMA & C!!!

So today I finished the 2nd table from the 2 I bought last week


The bigger one ended up like this


and when I pulled out the smaller one to paint it was screaming " transfer "

so I painted it out first in paris gray and pure white - and than found the perfect transfer  - a clock face which fit in with the circle top of the table -
however, I decided I would just hold it down  ( instead of taping it down ) because I'm always in such a hurry  that I actually didn't want to take the time to go get the tape.....................and you guessed it - the clock graphic " slipped " and I had to repaint the surface and start over.
ALWAYS TAPE YOUR IMAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES PEOPLE - BECAUSE I DON'T SEEM TO!

Here it is taped -



I used the pencil rubbing technique again - and I didn't bother going over it with a marker this time - I kind of like the faded look on this piece so just left it as it was.





I sanded the edges on a little bit ( and only the edges ) and there she is





Here's the image if you'd like to use it courtesy of the Graphics Fairy


I should be finished the dresser I'm working on this weekend - it's never taken me this long to do anything but in all honesty I only work on it a little bit every day.

But I AM working on something that brings me nothing but pure joy - which I will probably be able to show you on Sunday -
Hint?
It's bigger than a breadbox lol


Have a wonderful Friday -
