Curves and Feet

Now that the Fourth of July is over, I am in the process of putting together a bake sale.  My daughter is infatuated with koalas – hence the “Save the Koala’s” bake sale.  She has been baking for days, and made a sign, and will hold it this weekend in front of our local pool.  She is trying to save $200 to send to the Australia Koala Foundation.  She is a sweet heart 🙂

What with anniversary parties, swim team, and now saving a species from extinction, it has been a bit difficult to find time to paint.  Here is what is waiting for me in my garage that (hopefully!) I can work on next week.

I have a “thing” for feet and curves.  Yes, I said feet.  If a piece of furniture has feet, it is coming home with me.  I hope to make my little curvy desk with feet…into this…I saw this picture months ago and have been waiting patiently for the right piece to come along and now I have it!  I actually think mine is prettier and – mine has feet!  Love it.

This console table has feet too.  It also has a really heavy shellac job on it as well as a missing drawer.  But, it has feet, hence into the minivan it went!  Drawer, shmore  – I will find a way somehow to make another.

And, back to curves.  Here is a sneak peek of my full of curves, long, gorgeous dresser that I told you has been calling to me for weeks now.  I can’t WAIT to get my hands on this one! 

Hope you all had a great July 4th!  My Sophie won a third place ribbon for “Most Patriotic” – she is always first place in my mind!
