| GLUEING & CLAMPING |
Well.....
This gem was given to me by my mother-in-law to do with as I pleased.
Obviously the left photo was taken last spring as evidenced by the lush green grass.
It needed a little help in the sturdiness department
so out came the clamps and wood glue.

And there on the work table she sat and sat and sat,
for almost a whole year!!!

My idea was to make her into a screen divider for
behind my sewing machine.

Enough already, finish it for pete's sake.
So....
A few months ago I purchased some paint
in hopes of moving this project along.
Had these awesome hinges, maybe I can work them into the project?

Purchased four of these shelf brackets at Canton First Monday last fall,
thinking I could use them as the "feet".

| THINGIES |
Had five of these thingies in my "stuff" stash,
don't even know what they are or where they came from.
Doesn't matter, they're cool!

| ROSETTES |
I was at "Wally World" a few months ago looking at fabric
and purchased this piece
which is really strange because "I don't do blue"
and even had a blue sheet that matched, even stranger.
I guess this project was in the back of my mind percolating
without me even knowing it.
Everything just kinda fell into place in it's own time.

| STRANGE BLUE FABRIC PURCHASE |

| "ALIEN" CLOSE UP |
 |
THE LOWER HALF IS THE BLUE SHEET CHECK OUT THE "FEET" |
The lower half will be behind my sewing cabinet,
The main screen is burgundy, the trims are medium green,
the spindles are light green, and oddly enough,
the solid fabric is light blue and
the floral fabric is burgundy, white, light blue and black.
My grandson Nathan helped me with this project.
He chose how the rosettes were placed and his thoughts are....
~~~~~~~
The two upper roesttes are eyes, the thingies are eyebrows,
the center vertical wood strip is a nose,
the center horizonal rectangle is a mouth and the spindles are teeth.
"Some strange alien thing".
Those were his words!
I see it!
What do you think,
trash or treasure?
Till next time.

Very cool! I think Nathan is a chip off the old block! What else you got in your "stuff" stash? You come up with the neatest little stuff from there!
Tell Nathan "I see it too!"
We have those exact screen doors on our house, Terry! Yep -- they were rather cheap -- and don't always perform as they should.
I like what you've done with this. Repurposing is always better than throwing it in the trash. You and Nathan did well.
It's fantastic!
I love what you did and I see what your grandson saw. Lots of big teeth there.--Inger
