Get R Done Friday

It's time again for Get-R-Done Friday over at ClassyChassy, so be sure and go by and check out the other great projects and tell Classy thanks for hosting this for us.

OK, I am going to make a statement that I am ready sad to say...I should love what I had to do for Sat night, but for some reason I just can't get in the mood to paint, I am either burnt out or could it be because I just have no where this year to sell my paintings. Have tried Ebay..did real good last year but since the Election and the failing economy, I just can't sell anything. And what does sell, sells for less than I have in it and I'm not going to spend my time to not make anything.
The lady where we usually have our Christmas show has decided not to have it this year, she has moved to a large show at the Trade Mart in Jackson, and I just don't want to fool with spending hundreds to get into that show only to make just enough to pay my expenses. So I just can't get into the painting mode....sad.
But anyhow my Get R Done project this week took 3 weeks to do when it would normally take a couple to 4 hrs...
Our Church is having a Fall Festival Sat night and asked for some of us to donate gifts for door prizes and I volunteered to paint a tray with a hen on it and also a set of 4 frosted ornies for the Christmas tree.
I did a bunch of these ornies and sold them last year and thought that this would be a good gift. I painted them much the same way I painted the snowmen faces on the snowmen wine glasses, you can go here to see how they are done....these didn't take long to do, did them in between doing the platter and setting it aside...
This next item took me too long to do, I already had the 16" charger painted red so all I had to do was transfer my pattern and paint, I transferred the pattern the Sunday evening after the Preacher requested the door prizes..pretty good start
That's as far as I made it that day...then Tues, I decided to do a little more and got the black back ground painted...whee I'm getting to be speedy Gonzales...lol and painted some of the leaves...

well I got side tracked the rest of that day,,,hummm don't remember what I did but I know it had to be important...like watch TV or play on Computer..you know, important...giggle
The next Sat it rained so I decided to do a little more on the plate..couldn't do anything else, took several hours to get the hen done, just kept finding reasons to do something else...Well a whole week past before I decided to go back in the paint room and work on the flowers and remaining leaves......sigh...time is running out...got to get busy...
I didn't paint anymore untill 2 weeks later...and I knew I had to finish it because I had to take it to Chuch Weds night for Sat night Festival..so Tues I set down and made myself finish it...painted the centers of the flowers and all the little finish work...The finished project and it got delivered to Church Weds night on time...This is one Get R Done project I was beginning to think wasn't going to get done....Got to get to painting have several Christmas gifts to finish, it's a long time to Christmas...not...
