Someday Projects

We kept saying someday we should clean up that old woodshop/greenhouse.  It became a dumping spot for many projects and lots of wood that might be a wood carving someday.  I finally finished cleaning up out there.  That was a long project...36 days but some days were too warm or I was too busy to work out there.  I am so happy to be done cleaning in there.  Now I can enjoy the space again and work on some more dish flowers.  Far Guy still has a bit more wood to sort through and some "stuff" to organize whenever he feels like it.

I have a big project waiting in the wings.  Not sure I am ready to revisit this project yet. It was a project I started back in about 1986.

The old milk can was painted by my friend Susie.   I kept something inside the can all these years.  The milk can sat in the kitchen at the resort and at the house in Harwood it sat in the foyer.  The box on top holds two special tools to  help with this project.  It will be an adventure.  Take a guess if you like...what am I up to now?

    Hmmm, repainting it? Stencils? I love it as it is but am very curious!

    My guess is you are going to refinish it with new stencils and refinish the box as well.

    I have so many 'someday' projects. Some are started, some are only in my mind, but none are finished. You just might inspire me...

    It's funny how this isolation thing has us discovering things we've had right here all the time. I have no idea what you are up to but I can't wait to see what it is! Araignee

    Not sure--repainting? turning it into a planter of some kind? You will probably surprise us all.
    Congrats on finishing such a huge cleaning project! :)

    I have no idea what you might have planned for that milk can, but I'm sure it will be fun and creative. Can't wait to see it. I hope my husband develops some kind of hobby before he decides to retire. He plays golf nearly every day and works in the yard - as long as the grass is green. But winter can be pretty long up here and I might not be able to handle months of him watching TV and playing games on his phone. LOL

    I have an overwhelming number of projects, some of which are actually started. I have hopes of getting back to some of them.

    Painting it? You're so creative so I really am not sure. You get so much done everyday that I feel lazy.
    Blessings,

    I'm curious what you're going to do but can't begin to make a guess.
    I have a milk can and also the smaller, cream can. The bigger one is painted but not the other.
    Good job cleaning up the workshop. My DH has his wood piled up for future projects on his lathe. No way would he let me in his workshop to "tidy up"!!

    Congratulations on fnishing the workshop! I have many "Someday Projects" and unfortunately some of them end up never done projects. You are so talented and creative that it is hard to imagine what wonderful project you have for that cute milk can. I'm going to guess a bubbling fountain/birdbath or maybe a small table?

      I just had another thought - a lamp? Okay, I'll stop now!

    I don't know. A lamp. My old milk can, unpainted, is an umbrella stand in the front entry.

    I've no idea but I'm certain whatever is contained in the can will be part of the project. AND I'm also certain it will be beautiful!

    I have a feeling that whatever this project is, it isn't a run of the mill. I feel like it's going to be something unique and different. Something I would never think of... I can't wait to see what it is!

    You are going to make a fountain out of the can.

    It's a mystery, but I will keep with you to see what happens.

    I'm going to take a far away guess and say you're going to try your hand at making soap. Am I anywhere close? Love, Andrea xoxo

    No idea. And I read all the comments and still have no idea. It will be fun to find out, though. :-)

    Make an end table? And paint it too maybe without changing the part your friend painted?

    Table top with lamp in it.

    I can imagine how relieved you must be to be checking all these projects off your list, especially the bigger ones like this.
