Before and After & Mya Fix

I still have not figured out what happened in the previous post.  I decided to give it one more try and it is working fine again...???? 

So I thought I would share a quick before and after with you. 

This was an old piano stool that was headed to the burn pile by a fellow worker.  I pretty much have all my friends and peers fully trained to not throw anything wood out before checking with me first.  I must say I got a very strange look as to why would you want this ugly thing.  What can you do with that?  ...

This is the top and body of the piano stool (legs were detached at this point)... dirty ole vinyl and you can see the top doesn't quite line up perfectly... but it is solid wood.

solid wood legs... cut down to 14"

new table top made ... I framed out a 12" x 12"  piece of pine and stenciled the checkerboard...

another top made with chalkboard paint...

painted some old handles...for easy transport

full view of tops added... now a perfect little child's work table or lap desk...

tops can be removed and used independently with storage underneath for books and crayons etc...

and the...  

final cost... $0.00

All the pieces used were scraps (that would have landed in the garbage) 
that had been given to me. 

Now for the Mya Fan Club... seems I can't do a post without it anymore.   We got to spend the whole day with her on Saturday... I loved every minute of it.

Sharing the doll cradle with Dora...lol

has to get that blanket on just right...

she finally decided that she likes her doll house shelf...

this kept her busy for a good hour or so... putting things in and taking them back out. 

and a good ole belly laugh... no one can make her laugh this hard except Poppi...
she is at that fun age now where her sweet little personality is as unique as she is... I never thought being a Gramma would be this much fun.

Sorry for hanging you on for so long... hope you have a great week.

Hugs,

Love what you did with the bench, I am amazed at what you do with "trash"!

I can't believe how big Mya has gotten, seems like only yesterday that she was born.

Take care, hope you are enjoying your summer, btw how is that garden on the side of the yard doing?

Blessings,
Denise

Nice save and nicely done! I'll bet it's an adventure for Mya to go to Gramma's house. She's a little beauty!

pain control or algiatry, is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with chronic pain. The typical pain management team includes medical practitioners, pharmacists, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, nurses. The team may also include other mental health specialists and massage therapists. Pain sometimes resolves promptly once the underlying trauma or pathology has healed, and is treated by one practitioner, with drugs such as analgesics and (occasionally) anxiolytics.

Medicine treats injuries and diseases to support and speed healing, and it treats distressing symptoms such as pain to relieve suffering during treatment, healing, and dying. When a painful injury or pathology is resistant to treatment and persists, when pain persists after the injury or pathology has healed, and when medical science cannot identify the cause of pain, the task of medicine is to relieve suffering.

In this fashion my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's report starts in this SHOCKING and controversial video.

You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.

THESE are the EXACT same methods tons of famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.

That's really because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe that expression has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years back, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up bucket of a car without a license and with $3 in his pocket.

"I'm so frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"

You've been a part of those those thoughts, am I right?

Your own success story is waiting to happen. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
