MARS

Still no pictures of the house but we did do an install on a new sign that I designed tonight!  Looks pretty darn good don't you think?  I must add...it's really nice having a tall and handy husband :)  I don't know what I'd do without him!

Crazy Birds!

WHAT is wrong with Cardinals this winter??  The last few days I've been working on my "real" job again....doing some big signs.  Isn't it great that we bought this new house so that I could do my work right there in the dining room?  lol.  That BETTER change when we're done and moved in!  So anyway, back to the cardinals.  While I was working today (and I mean ALL day) this pair of cardinals went between the dining room and clutter room windows and continually flew into them!  You'd think after they did it a few times and didn't get anywhere that they'd just fly away...I guess that's where they get the term "bird brain"!  I'm not kidding, from the time I got their at 9 until 5 o'clock tonight they were doing this.....it was very distracting to me  :)

 

It has taken me a few days to do this many and such big signs.  I've had a few problems too...like the vinyl wouldn't stick.  So frustrating!

 

I ended up making templates for the main info...and then just doing the particular property information in vinyl.

Here's what I got by using a stencil and painting it....UGH!!
I can't let that out of my hands...gonna have to fix all of that "bleed"

It only took me about 4 days to get them up to my standards....ridiculous!
(and that was with Kade's help!!)

Back to work tomorrow....we've been putting off the meet up of the flooring in front of the front door for long enough  :)

Signs, Signs, Signs!

That's what I did today!  :)  Gotta keep some of my favorite boys in business! (and do my "real" job I guess, lol)  At least the weather was nice - not 104 when I put my last batch together!  I think they look pretty nice!

 

So we went tonight and got the supplies to start making the wooden countertops.  Looks pretty funny doesn't it?  16' boards in a 6' truck bed :)  We used the toilets to hold the boards in place (and straps of course!)  Not sure I'm ready for this big project yet!  Why do I do this??

Work...

So my "real" job has struck again, lol.  I spent several VERY hot hours this morning putting together signs for Market Pro Realty!  I must admit though...they do look nice  :)

 

I only had 50 of these to do and 10 Open House Signs, lol.

Did I mention that is was SO hot outside??

We worked on the tongue & groove this afternoon....oh...we can finally turn the A/C on too!  YEAH!!  Makes working in a sunroom MUCH easier...although we did have the door pretty much blocked off from the rest of the house so that we could at least TRY and keep the dust contained out there in our work area.  Hopefully we can finish up this space tomorrow!

My "Real" Job

Had to do a little bit of my "real" job this morning for Live Your Life, ink.  Drove up to Godfrey to put down a floor vinyl for a Wedding that's tomorrow night.  This bad boy was about 42" square.  I just love the way it looks on the dance floor....

Congrats to Adam & Carley!

Take it from me...14 years will be here before you know it  :)
