Spray Away...

I know... still no sewing or quilting going on. We have so many functions coming up at our house this summer, we're doing projects all the time. This past week's project was to paint the rockers from the front porch and an old patio set for the back porch.

I love to do things fast, so I can be on to the next project. That's why I love spray paint! However, my index finger on my right hand does not like spray paint anymore. Last month I spray painted 40 business sponsor signs for a golf tournament...all the letters and a 2 inch wide border. I think my finger tip is still numb. I could probably do some hand sewing and not need a thimble!!

Well, here are the 2 project...four rockers

and the oldest patio set you've ever seen. I'm trying to save it one more time. My father thought he was doing me a favor a few years back when he decided to paint it for me. However, it was the ugliest brown you've ever seen. That set stayed on his side of the yard until it faded out!! Now it's mine again. So we'll see how it turns out.

Here is the paint!!

and here is what saved my finger. It's a trigger handle that slips over the top of the spray can.

Just make sure the hole where the paint comes out is facing out of the opening on the trigger handle. I won't tell you how I know this!! Now you are all set to Spray Away!!!

Here's the after picture of the rockers on the front porch. No pictures of the table and chairs yet. They need another coat and I ran out of paint. That dry wood soaked up the paint. I'm also trying to make some cushions for the chairs, but we'll see how that goes.

Have a great night everyone,
