Curveballs and Chili: When Projects (and Life) Don't Go as Planned

I have a couple projects going that I’m excited to show the world about, but they just keep throwing me curveballs.

Blue End table

First- This cute end table I am re-working I’m so excited to show before and after but I’ve had to start over on the doors twice now with icky flaws I’m just not ok with.  But check out how cute it is looking! 

Then after 3 years here in my showroom I have finally found a console table to put in my entry way.  I think it will make a great mailbox table.  I fore see a seasonal floral arrangement on it with a mailbox of some kind so that when I’m not here I can leave something for someone or vice versa!  My brand color is purple so I am going with Deep Purple for a paint but the next steps are not exciting me yet. 

A couple coats of paint waiting for finishing touches…

Just feeling run down!  End of summer blues, humidity, a sickly kid- its just all I have to give this week so far. 

Meal planning only went as far as the most basic way I start a meal plan for this week- what type of protein.  Beef, Chicken, Pork- on repeat at our household and can we grill or do we cook inside?  Tonight is back to school night- don’t you just love that it's always in the middle of dinner hour…  So we have chili in the crock pot.  I know 80+ degrees out and chili?!?  My thoughts were ‘in summer, yuck’ and ‘oh whatever’ after my hubby and son requested it. I take requests, it helps!  But with a protein ‘planned’ for each day I just have to pull something from the freezer and go from there.  

I was amazed last week after I spilled my woes and thoughts about business, and while I’m not out of the woods by any means.  Within hours someone called me to purchase a greenhouse- poof just like that, so much for a Friday afternoon thrift store search but hey.  Monday a window treatment customer walked in and again Tuesday..  I am feeling heard.
