Work, Work, Work

30°f /-2°C this morning with a few snowflakes floating around...after a high of 81°f yesterday! Crazy weather.

It's a wonder this weather doesn't give us whiplash! So warm yesterday, then crazy winds and a 50° temperature drop. Still it is better than what we had on this day 4 years ago:

Today was actually not too bad, and warmed to 46°. But tonight? In the 20s I think. Brrr. Poor daffodils. Some are already dropping.

I worked on this cabinet too, just need to put the handle back on and it's finished.

And I finished up this shelf that too far too much time and patience.  Why do I get into things like this! Definitely won't sell for enough to cover how much time it too to paint around all those glass panes. But it looks 100% better than it did originally. 

I staged it with sone faux tulips and milk glass, and may do the same in the booth. I can see this being a display for a farmers market or home bakery,  maybe.

Last night Sarah, my friend Suzy and I went out to play trivia at a local
