an after.

For the longest time I had planned to paint our old farm house table cream, but I wanted to do it right.  After a real good priming and letting that set up for several days, I was able to put a couple of coats of cream paint on.  I love it!  And I can't wait to finish my room with the same method.
I have shown this little table in the past.  It was sort of a guinea pig in the process, to see how the paint and primer would work out.  Plus it was small enough if need be I could "fix" any issues I ran into.
So gradually, the bigger pieces are coming around to be painted.  The weather is nice and toasty and my little sewing room is actually the best place to do the painting.  So one of these two will be up next.  I have an old sheet that lays on the floor under a sturdy cutting table, which is just perfect.
This has not been a very speedy process, getting my little sewing space just right. Thanks for your patience, as I show each little step, one at a time.
The fried squash was delicious!  The fried squash king is back on his throne!!  ha ha ha.  To keep the house from getting stinky, we do it outdoors.  In a way it is sort of like camping.
For those of you who have inquired, Woody is recovering nicely.  It is a slow and steady pace, but it is going in the right direction and that means everything!  We have learned so much from this journey.  For starters, God is indeed more than faithful.  Attentive to every prayer, meeting every need.  Never once did we feel out of His presence, and because He saw fit for this trial to occur, He supplied the faith and stamina needed to endure.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6

One of Woody's favorite scriptures.
