Little people and the land of lost things
One of the few things I got done while hubby was off fishing earlier in the month was painting these little people. I carved them 5 or 6 years ago and I just kept moving them from spot to spot when I was looking for something in my creative resources and projects c.r.a.p. closet, it could also be called the land of misplaced or lost things. I was looking for some little votive jars to decorate the rehersal dinner tables and could not find them. I looked in all the sensible places where I might have put them since the last move but then I couldn't remember seeing them since 2 moves ago and I knew exactly where they were in that house. Where did I put them? Did I move them? To get the brain worm out of my head, does that ever happen to you, I can't stop looking for something until I find it like some musical tune you can't get out of your head. So I pulled these little guys out and the paints and painted them and it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. Then I enjoyed an afternoon on the deck in the sun with the paste floor wax buffing them. When I put things back in the magical closet of disappearing and reappearing things I say that because the next time I am tearing things apart looking for the latest misplaced item I will find what I was looking for the last time I dug through all the baskets, boxes and totes. Anyway what I found was the little glass yogurt jars that were extra when I sorted my buttons last fall. They are the perfect size for a votive or tea light. And I have an excuse to eat more of that delicious yogurt. --Ann--
I love this post! Your precious and adorable little people have knowing grins; I suppose they know where the lost things are hiding. Yes, I become obsessed with searching too, you're not alone.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that you carved these little people! The painting doesn't surprise me, but the carving does. They are just adorable. What a great finish you have today. :) It drives me crazy when I can't find something that I know is here. Usually, once the item is replaced, the lost item is found.
