New Year's Resolution to FINISH started projects!

18 years ago

Anyone care to join me in that commitment? Or maybe I'm the only one with a problem in this area! Anyway, here are a few of the ones I want to complete, before I begin anything new!

The picture of the edge of a mirror, I need advice on how to finish the edge! It is double thick cardboard on the back of a heavy old mirror. I'm thinking of painted rope or something? The napkin holder will have the edges painted and the sides mosaiced.

    I'll join you in that resolution! Mine mostly just need to be grouted. I LOVE your lazy bill and the silver bowl! OH, and the rock tray and the chair! Oh, and the silver tray and npakin holder and pitcher! IT'S ALL GOOD!!

    I`won't even pretend to join in that resolution LOL!!

    But I'll be happy to nag you until they are done

    Love your started projects! Is the first one a tray or lazy susan??

    No idea for the edge, I try to avoid them whenever possible ( doing an edge!!)

    Thanks Cindy and Maria, the top one is the lazy susan for my table, want to do a napkin holder, tissue box and ?? to match! The rock tray is tile I got for $5.00 a box at a local tile store, broken pieces, show boards, etc. The place is now gone, and Color Tile isn't as friendly! I mostly use dishes anyway! Whoever gave the idea for using BB's, THANKS! I love the look they give, I had bad luck using cheap beads!

    Wow, there's a lot of grout in your future :)

    My resolution is to actually START a project in 2008 : /

  • 18 years ago

    I'm with Maria "won't even pretend to join in that resolution" but I love what you started!

  • 18 years ago

    You've got some great things started there!!!!! You're not alone is that resolution....but I've already broken it....I am on 3 of 9 projects.....but I have finished a new one in between.....I'm not right.......and I really probably have 15, not 9 waiting in the corners not done......I'm a sick person.

  • 18 years ago

    I'll join in ......lately , I seem to jump to another project before one is finished.

    I HEREBY VOW TO FINISH ALL MY WIP'S .......AT LEAST BY THE YEAR 2009.

    No one said anything about the year ,did they ?

    DIAMOND - you REALLY have been busy. I love every one of them, but don't envy you on grouting day - I don't like grouting. I REALLY like all your projects, and I especially like the white tray design. What is the filler for that one?

  • 18 years ago

    oh that blue combo took my breath away... I couldn't stand NOT seeing what those gorgeous things will look like finished. My impatience drives me to grout all night long sometimes. those are all so beautiful!

  • 18 years ago

    I promise to finish headboards........Soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

  • 18 years ago

    ...sorry, my wall is waiting until the temperature is a bigger number than my age LOL!

    They are all great pieces! Get them grouted so you can enjoy them! So we can all enjoy them. I know better than make resolutions, so I resolve not to make resolutions.

  • 18 years ago

    YES ANNIE YES!!!! I'm so excited about those headboards!

  • 18 years ago

    Wow! You have a lot of grouting to do. They are all really nice pieces. Should be fun to get finished!

  • 18 years ago

    You have some really beautiful projects going there.
    I am going to join you.. but not to finish but to START some.. ( besides my ball,, it's almost done)
    I vow to get all..( well .. some) of those projects out of my head and on to my worktable..


    See ya'll when I have one to show !

  • 18 years ago

    Can't wait to see Annie's headboards too!

    Grouting will probably be DAYS, not day! NICE, I wish I had that kind of energy when it comes to grouting time!

    TooMuch, anytime goes! My hope is to stop STARTING without finishing!

    Gypsy, it's a GOOD sickness that we all share!

    SLOW, it's more white plate middles on a lazy susan.

    Thanks for all your nice comments. It is a fun passion!

  • 18 years ago

    WOW! Just love all of your things. I can see you don't like to grout either. I have 3-4 things waiting to be grouted. I can always go in the basement and break and glue, but the grouting is another thing. Good luck.

    meadel, love the brain thing!!

    I took another look and notice the bookend - are those tacks. I bought some at Lowes yesterday to add to my stash. Those look great on your bookend.

  • 18 years ago

    Meadle -LOL cute, but where is the GEII fumes spot!!

    Maria

  • 18 years ago

    Meadle & Shrty: TOO FUNNY!!! LOL!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Adhesives! but that space in your brain shrinks inbetween projects as you get fresh air. Which stands to reason, because substrates needs the room to swell abit as you shop..

  • 18 years ago

    Slow, it does look like a bookend, but is a napkin holder. The silver balls are BB's, or better said, slingshot balls!

    Meadel, love the brain!

  • 18 years ago

    Ok, I think I can do this ONE little thing:

    I vow to finish up the 'touch-up' work on my backsplash that never got done after the install (grouting screwholes and section lines, re-glueing a couple missing pcs, etc)
