Making some headway

It is so hard for me to complete any projects around here.  I steal a few minutes here and there and it just seems to never get done, but alas...a few have made it to the completion stage.
Here is a desk we rescued from the side of the road with a FREE sign on it:

And here it is with a few coats of red paint:

The color in the picture isn't nearly as great as it is in person.  It's sort of a barn red, I love it!

Next up, Thanksgiving favors:

They are little jelly beans in corn husks meant to look like...little corn cobs. 

I also finished my sewing projects which I cannot show, sorry.

I now have another project which looks like a doozy (sp?).

It is a table of my grandmother's.  It came with 3 leaves and is very heavy.   It was always in her basement and she used it as a sewing table.  I have always liked it.  When I was little, my cousins and I played laundramat in her basement on many occasions and this little table was always right there.  It was covered with mildew so as of now it is mildew free.  I think a lot of stripping ( and I don't mean the 'naked body' kind) is in her future.   My grandparents are downsizing and it was either me or the dump for my little green table :o(  I also got these:

This little Amish salt and pepper sat on a side table in my great grandparents house in Grove City.  I always played with them and then they moved to my grandparents house and their next home was set to be THE DUMP!  NO WAY!  They have a perfect spot on my kitchen counter.  I also picked out some pictures for the frames, a wire basket, a Christmas tin, and Grant got a nifty Ohio State music box that you hook to your door frame and it plays the fight song when you open the door.  Trash to some, treasure to others :o)
