As soon as Happy hour rolls around, I'm going to pick up stuff to make layered bean dip for my little bean dips and their friends. One has to be entirely vegetarian/vegan (boring!) but the other will have hamburger on it. Then I get to make homemade pizza for the crowd too. Will stick the dough in the bread machine this afternoon on my break.
Then over the weekend, I get to go to a tea room for lunch with the ladies and Meri needs to finish a couple 4H projects. She'll probably have to scrap one of her ideas... She has the aspirations to refinish and reupholster a rocking chair, but I just don't think she can do it before next Thursday... Today she is spray painting that milk can. Here is her progress on it so far.
Before
At this point
She had sanded it down, sprayed it with (get this Mimi!) Hammered rustoleum primer. Then she's blocking off the sections of the can and spray painting each section a different shade of green. Meri is planning on making a pillow for the top to tie onto the lid and it will look very pretty in the corner of her bedroom.Well - that's all she wrote from her little corner of Iowa... Have a great weekend!

Uh?...What?
Who's getting hammered??lol
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Have fun making your bean dip and pizza. It's going to be a bad hot day here so I cooked off a bunch of stuff already for dinner while it was still coolish....
Have a great weekend!!
my kids are finishing up their woodworking projects. I doubt that my 16 year old will finish her other projects. She always gets big ideas but she doesn't pass herself.
I had a painted milk can with a tractor seat welded to the top in my room when I was a young teen. It wasn't very comfy, but I thought it was cool...at the time anyway.
You and your kids are so industrious!
I am ready to be done with work for the week so I can go home and veg out.
Well, I WILL have to do errands tomorrow, but the rest of the time. I plan to do nothing.
I haven't seen an old milk can like this in a LONG time. It brought back fond memories of visiting neigbors who had a working dairy farm.
I love her ideas and hope you'll show us the final product!
Hi
Love your new look - neat and tidy. Isn't it wonderful to run home at lunch and start dinner? I come home every day. Can't wait to see the finished milk can - love the green!

I hope you had fun at your tea! It's been too long since I've done that!
I love that shade of green. The can is looking good.
Can I come spend the weekend with you and let you do the cooking?
Bahahahahaaaaaa!
Hammered.
That's gonna look really cute!
