Re: Taking the plunge
Yes, still sparkly and clean @CheerBear Thay asked all the corona virus questions, so I’m hoping my imagination isn’t that good, or bad. 🙃🙃
It takes time to adjust, and it’s usually longer than we hope it would be. You will get it worked out. Counsellor was saying yesterday, how over committing is stretching and tiring. It’s learning how much you can juggle.
I’m impressed. 👍👍👍 Did you measure twice and cut once? That’s what the experts say. Lovely working with wood and natural stuff.
Painting lady came. She has a wooden letter. She did really well. It was a lot of, up a bit,to the left, yes. 😂😂 Top dotting next week.
I’m trying a new stone thing. If it works I’ll show and tell

Re: Taking the plunge
I understand how much your brain can play tricks when things like that happen @Maggie. I hope you have a plan and some answers soon.
That sounds fun with painting lady, though also like a patience sapper 😆 Top dots are my favourite part I think. I hope it felt OK to have her company. I am looking forward to seeing your share if/when you do.
I got the big (3m and 2.4m) pieces cut into smaller sections so I could fit it into my car. I've drawn plans and done my measurements soooo many times ready for cutting into final sizes this weekend. I am busting to get my hands on to big saws. Not "on to" literally haha. That sounded funny! I am seriously hoping clumsy me has hands left after this one 😆

Re: Taking the plunge
I have a very big saw @CheerBear . Neighbor entering stuff. Ha ha. Specially on ground level. 🙃🙃🙃
I think it will be lovely once finished. A good weekend ahead. 🤞🤞🤞
Yes, it is a patience sapper. But she needs 100 attention, as I can’t multitask. But seeing her pride is worth every second. Plus black poodle is gorgeous. 🐶🐶🐾🐾

You sound tired @CheerBear 💞💞
Muddling along atm. Wonky head stuff.
Did you manage to work on your desk?

Re: Taking the plunge
🙁 Sorry for the muddle @Maggie. Is there something making it worse or bigger at the moment?
I am a bit sore and tired but in a good way. I made my desk 🎉 It isn't totally finished and needs sanding, painting/staining etc but it's done and it stands and it is suuuuper solid! We need the trailer to get it back to our house so it won't be here for a couple of weeks but yay! I had so much fun making it. I'm getting out of bed, heading to the kettle and am up now so I will see if I can find a shareable pic 😊
How's your today looking?

Re: Taking the plunge
Go you @CheerBear . I didn’t expect it to be that far along. 👍👍👍 WOW.
Yes, the wonky head stuff is to do with the book I gave my pastor. As I haven’t heard anything, my mind has created all sorts of dramas. Counsellor and I talked it through, and by the end of our session I was convinced the world etc hated me. Yes, it got massive and out of control, but my mind just loves this stuff. 🤪🤪🤪
Cleaner help today.
Big work day for you?

Re: Taking the plunge
That's tough @Maggie. I had wondered whether anything came of it. Sorry you haven't heard anything. I can imagine that being a recipe for snowballing 'the world hates me' stuff 🙁 Ugh to it getting out of control too. How does counsellor approach out of control with you, if you're OK to share?
Hope cleaner goes OK today. It will be nice this afternoon ❤
Yep work today and then straight to the shop after as we came home late yesterday and I didn't make it. Have some 'need' kind of things to pick up.
