Hydrangeas and Laced Bottles

I've been working diligently in my garage for the past two days.



However, today, the energy level was low.




So, instead of pushing it, I took a break, picked a few hydrangeas,




and laced some bottles.  You can see how I use lace as a stencil HERE.




I used spray sealer to protect the finish.




Renewing my energy for tomorrow.  I'm making progress in the Abyss.  Unearthing things in boxes I haven't sorted through in a long while. 







I knew I had a lot of small items, but I don't think I realized just how many.  It took me an entire day to sort and categorize just a few boxes.  I'll have to share more of what I discover.  For now, rest.

See ya soon.

  2. Glad you're taking it easy -- and those bottles are beautiful. I love the subtle pattern the lace creates. While I'm not fond of this cool weather for summer, it does make working outside in the garden a little easier ;)

  11. Slow and steady, Rosemary, that's the best way to go through it all. : ) Your bottles looks so pretty, especially with the hydrangeas. I'll bet they would look great with any flower in them though.

  13. Definitely take care of yourself first, Rosemary. I can't believe how busy you are with your shows and your projects. Treat yourself and try to get away from it all at least for a few days. Can't wait to see what you unearth in your sorting quest.

  19. I so need to do the same. I have around 20 boxes in the garage to sort through. My plan was to grab one box a night and take it one at a time. Funny, how that never happened, LOL.

    Your flowers are gorgeous and I love how you know you need to rest. Rest is good.
