ALL IN GOOD TIME...

I hope

 you all had a lovely and restful

 Labor Day weekend.

We went for a ride

 up in the mountains.

  The weather was beautiful

 and the road meandered

 along some peaceful and scenic sights

 as only a country road can.

Wouldn't you love

 to get your hands on

 some of these old, worn and weathered,

 red boards,

 not to mention 

the rusted tin?

As many times 

as we take this little journey

 we never tire of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A while back

 I picked up this clock for free.

 I knew it wasn't 

a particularly valuable piece

 or even a collectible one, 

as it sat,

 but it wasn't bad 

and it was made out of metal.

 I had been seeing

 a lot of larger clock faces

 on Pinterest,

and thought it would be fun

 to have a go at it 

and to come up with my version.

I like chickens

 as an item of decoration and,

 if fact,

 I have a few,

 but on the face of a clock

 it was past time for it to go.

  I removed the hands,

 the  frame and scroll decoration,

 and decoupaged a black paper place mat

 that I found onto the front.

 I thought that would do it

 but realized along the way

 that I really didn't want to

 work the red into the scheme of things. 

 So out came the AS Old Ochre...

  

...and I painted out

 the existing roman numerals

 and sent for a stencil to replace them. 

 I then covered it all

 with Vax

from Shabby Paints.

I like the clock much better now

 and look forward 

to adding it into 

some future vignettes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weather

 has been warm and somewhat balmy here 

as we move ever closer

 into fall.

KAI'S KORNER

King of the Mountain...

...and he wanted to tell you

 that his buds,

 the Gentle Giants 

are coming again soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some progress.

  Do you think I'll ever finish? 

 Only time

 will tell!
