Immediate Gratifi-what??

Okay, so maybe I'm a wee bit more patient than I give myself credit for: I mean, if I were THAT much into instant gratification, would it take me 10 pathetic months to get 3 little 8"x10" paintings done for one of my friends? It was supposed to be a baby shower gift, and her little boy is 10 months old. (Phew!! Just made it under the 1-year old b-day mark! ...insert rolling eyes here).
Anyway, they were fun to do, even if they did get done a square inch at a time.

Sandie: You're a great friend, even tho' we don't get to see each other much. Please don't take the delay as a reflection of what I think of you and that danged cute little Kegan!

May you always have much happiness, and I hope these pix will bring you a smile or two.

Anticipation

Can you tell that I'm a practitioner of "instant gratification"? Instead of waiting until the set was entirely done, I keep putting up partial and "almost there" photos. OR, since it is the political season, I can spin it and say: "I did this for your benefit, so you could see the process". Yeah--I'm a giver.

So here is the lotus flower table which means the set is basically done. When I purchased the set, one of the tables was missing a "finial" decor piece in the base. I'm still trying to see if I can get a matching, or at the very least a similar one, to fill the little hole that is left behind. If not, a little wood filler spackle-ish stuff and more grey paint out to tie up any loose ends nicely.

Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend,
Leona
