Thyme to see what I did with some old windows

These were some old windows from my sisters house. 

She gave me at least 20 and they have been sitting in my cellar for a few years now. 

My husband kept saying what are you going to do with those? 

The bottom window is from a 

John Sliney pattern I enlarged 

 I hope you all take some thyme this weekend 

to relax and enjoy

 doing something you love to do!

Happy Painting!

Thyme to think about back to school

Here is a nice childs desk I found which I decided to paint for back to school thyme! 

It reminds me of the desk I had in grammar school.......I think I'm dating myself now! LOL. 

This is a John Sliney pattern. 

Happy Painting !

Thyme to see what I just won on E-BAY

I am a great fan of 

Terrye French 

This wonderful goose pull toy was painted by Terrye French 

and 

is called Strawberries in the moon.

 I have painted so many of Terrye's designs

 but

 I am thrilled to finally own something painted and signed by Terry herself! 

I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!

Blessings,

Lynn

How did you spend your thyme relaxing this weekend?

This weekend I re-purposed  an old mirror

to make a frame for the Tooth Wash Remedy Char at

The Pickled Pepper Patch shared with us. 

You can find my stain mixture recipe and directions for use under labels.

Soaking in stain mixture

Baking in oven at 250 degrees

Thanks Char! I just love how it came out!

It is in my laundry/bathroom.

I also made this wreath!

The sheep on the wreath is a 

Renee Mullins

pattern. 

You can visit Renee 

at

Plum Purdy Designs

I hope you had thyme to do something

that you love this weekend too.

Blessings,

Lynn

Thyme to change seasons!

It seems like we never really had a spring her in MA. 

Now it's August and it seems like we aren't going to have a summer.

 Rain, rain go away! Like all of you crafters I am busy painting for fall! 

Here is Fiona's Shoe!
Another great

pattern.

Thyme in the garden

I finally finished this garden bench for my Mom's birthday. 

Her birthday was in June, Yes I said June! 

The only reason she has been so patient is because this bench

 is replacing a similar bench that my Dad had made her over 10 years 

ago that had started to rot.( which I also painted). 

Her old bench now has a family of wrens in it

 and 

she doesn't want to evict them!!!!!!

Happy Painting !

Thyme to meet Colby

Learning to blog thyme.........

Welcome to my
Painting Thyme Needfuls
blog.

This is where I spend most of my time painting each day.

My motto is,
" If it doesn't move then I can paint it !"

Lots and lots of brushes

Americana and Delta paints

I have a room in my basement where 

I can store my "finds" 

and 

also work on real large pieces

I also have a couple of spray booths down in the basement

one for small pieces one for furniture

I look forward to getting to know you

and

sharing my love of

painting with you.

Happy Painting!

Lynn
