~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Good afternoon blogger friends,
Here is what Stush made for my birthday...a stepback cupboard!!! This is how far I've got with it what with Easter and birthdays plus the weather keeping me from doing more. I wanted to show it to you all done but to be truthful I'm actually afraid to continue on it, this is the biggest piece I've ever worked on and I don't want to ruin it if you know what I mean:)
My plan is to paint it blue with the dark walnut stain over it as you can see I've already stained it then did the wainscoat back a tan color, just really dry brushed it.

This is a better pic of it doesn't make the tan look lighter like in the pic above...Maybe someone can help me here I just don't know what to do next...I'm leaving the wood between the shelves the stained walnut but I don't know if I should paint the top and insides of the cupboard tan or leave it stained. Should I paint the blue on to cover it all or should I sort of dry brush it on then stain all over again? Like I said I don't want to ruin it, I know the look I want just never did it before and Stush put alot of time in doing it...I've wanted one since 1983, dreams do come true:)

I finally finished one of Betty's designs... she posted it on her blog which always gives me a thrill to see my work on there.:) Betty has such a sweet giving soul what with all the free designs she gives, believe me I so appreciate it especially with the way things are here.

I'm working on another one of Betty's designs which I can only do during the day just can't see to do them at night that's why it took so long to do the other one but I did get it done for Easter just had issues with my camara and couldn't post a pic of one:) This one I think I'm going to make into a little pin keep...I'm doing it on 22 ct that I bought at JoAnn's for .99 on sale!

I guess it's also time to put the Easter bunnies and grunged eggs away for another year but I think I'll leave the blue eggs out that I bought at the Rusty Angel...I just love them.

I also need to do some tweaking after the Easter things are put away:)

I wanted to thank each one of you who left a comment on my last post about Chris...he works so hard as manager for Best Buy, I know how hard because I worked retail and the schedule is just so draining especially around any of the holidays ...just so tiring. I do miss him though, I had a hard time when I moved here because I felt like I was abandoning him even though I knew he wanted out on his own...sometimes it's so hard being a mother .lol I got over it though and he calls me practically everyday and I wash his clothes for him saves him a trip to the laundry mat and money plus it also makes me feel needed:)

I'll be putting these little piggys on my selling blog which has suffered because of Easter and birthdays.

Stush cut these out for me and I painted and stained them!

This one is painted Butter Pecan over walnut stain then stained again...

On the other side I painted it black so it gives you two decorating choices:)

This piggy I did with the Butter Pecan then stained...

The other side of it I left just stained...so I have two for sale and both have cut marks and are cut from a thick piece of wood.

I'll give the measurements and price on my selling blog as soon as I get to posting them:)

It's so rainy here and chilly but Thursday thur the weekend is supposed to be in the 60's and close to the 70's. I really try to understand the need for the rain but boy is it hard after the winter weather to not want to feel the warm sun again:)
