It scared me then.......................


I can still the feel the terror and sadness I felt watching Dorothy's world be swept away in a devastating tornado........................

Because it's pretty much the same way I feel today


I can't imagine such devastation in real life.
And though I know how little comfort it brings, in the immediate aftermath,  I also know there's a planet full of grief and love and prayers - much larger than any tornado could ever be - heading that way.

With sadness,

Blue eyes crying in the grain..........................

Good morning all!!!

One of my repeat customers ( Monica ) brought me 2 book cases that she searched high and low for - it took a long time to find 2 identical ones - but she's a lesson in perseverance let me tell you and they are such a great CL find.  The owner apparently just had them piled into his garage - and they hadn't been used in years.

Last year I had painted a coffee table ( and had fallen in love with it and decided to keep ) when I received
a frantic email from Monica - " please please please tell me you are selling that coffee table you just did - I've
been looking for one just like it forever " ( you can read about that makeover here )


and so now it resides in her living room - and this whole time she has been looking for the perfect 2 book cases to compliment it.................

Friday night she brought 2 of these over


Now most of you know that I'm a vampire - and that I'm up most of the night - for some reason I get a lot more accomplished in the middle of the night then I ever could once the sun comes up.................

BUT sometimes it's easy to get a little creeped out when you're working while the rest of the world is sleeping.
Sometimes it feels like there's eyes all over the place watching you

SHE'S GOT BETTE DAVIS EYES 

Suzan says - They creep me out, totally
John says - They're only knots in the wood
Suzan says - YOU see knots in the wood - I see dead people
John says - Oh for God's Sakes - what is wrong with you?
Suzan says -DO NOT TELL ME that  you don't see eyes John - because you're not being honest if you don't
John says -Actually I think they could be boobs
Suzan says - uggghhh - you're sick, you know that?
John says - And you're not?  It's a rational thought to see eyes all over a piece of furniture?
Suzan says - You're becoming a pervert - get away from me
John roars - and walks away
Suzan worriedly runs to a mirror - because I'm in worse shape than I thought if he can equate them to to any part of my anatomy..................

There were at least 8 sets of eyes on one of the bookcases

TURN AROUND BRIGHT EYES..............

IN THE TWILIGHT GLOW I SEE   -   BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE GRAIN


I CAN SEE FOR MILES AND MILES AND MILES
John says - where are my reading glasses?
Suzan says - ON the bookshelf


John says - I suppose that's a photo op for the blog
Suzan says - NO - I did it for you - I thought you'd get a laugh out of it
John says - You didn't do it for me - you did it for the blog
John says - Why didn't you hang a brassiere from it?
Suzan says - BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BOOBS - THEY'RE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!
Suzan says - I'm not posting this conversation anyway -  trust me.......................


THAT THE NIGHT
HAS A THOUSAND EYES........................

Or it did - I've quickly taken care of that.
AND not like this either


weird post calls for a weird bra

  I just used paint..................



What does everyone else see?
I mean they're so obviously eyes, right?
I've never heard of a ghost exposing themselves before - what would be the point?
Unless they were haunting a certain type of establishment of course................
And though our home could be classified as an insane asylum - it is most definitely 
not a brothel.

Hopefully I'll have this finished tonight and can show you all tomorrow this transformation 
( it's now officially as blind as a bat ) I'm going to take this from a boobcase to a bookcase - mark my words!!!!

Have a great Monday,
