437 Reasons Why JWS Should Not Be Unsupervised At An Auction

-


Laughing and chuckling
at 
10:30 last night, 
JWS 
arrives home from the auction
where he was 
serving food.

Two indicators that it was about to go bad:
1. The truck is sitting at the side door and not in the garage.
2. The side door is propped open. 

And
He is excited
about his finds....

As a side note, 
I did not go to this auction because:
1.  I am still tired from the fair.
2. The cleaning lady was supposed to come today and I did not want a mess. 

Apparently, 
JWS did not get that memo. 

So this morning found me 
washing 
and 
sorting
and 
cleaning
and 
wiping. 

Piles to be junked,
piles to go back to the auction,
piles of treasures for other people,
a small pile to keep
and 
piles to be priced to go to the shop.

He did get some good finds,


But there was a lot of sorting to find them. 

And a lot of questionable purchases...





This being the BIGGEST 
questionable purchase. 


Is there a clown lover's anonymous?
Because this obsession 
definitely 
needs help!

The clown is creepy looking but then I am not over fond of them myself. I don't hate them but I wouldn't go out and buy one for myself. With that being said, I sleep in my daughters old room and have never charged the wallpaper cause it still looks brand new. What's the motif? You guessed it....clowns! LOL!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
