Projects, etc.

This week has been so busy for me.  One of my daughters broke her foot a couple of weeks ago and the other one moved into a new house recently so I've been trying to help both of them.  We've had fun working on projects together.


My personal project has been working on this metal chandelier that I got at an estate sale a few Saturdays ago.  It had been used on a covered porch in the city so it was covered with dirt and grim.  Cleaning it took hours and hours and lots of Q-tips to get the inside area.  Since I didn't take a "before" picture, I can only tell you about it.  It was the same ivory but the flowers were red and blue.  I painted it to match the colors in my dining room.

I love hot air balloons and have been up twice.  This light brings back memories of those wonderful experiences!
