I planned on painting my desk, doing a lot of gardening and catching up on chores. BUT, instead I went thrifting (no treasures to be found), watched a DVD, took a nap, and went to a concert in the park. I think I'm not so surly now. I just need to stop beating myself up for not accomplishing anything. And I need to apologize for disappointing you, my friends.
I will, however, show you a simple and fun project
you can do this weekend.
No, this is not the damage a surly woman
can do on her ugly day.
It's actually a creative and easy project.

All you need is regular pliers, needle nose pliers,
and a fork.
(You should probably get one from the thrift store
and not use your fine silver)

With the needle nose pliers,
curl the outside tong ends forward.
Use the regular pliers to bend the two inside tongs back and out. Play with the bends to make sure that
the fork can stand on it's own.
You have now made a cute, inexpensive little easel.

Now it's time for me to get some things crossed offyesterday's to-do list.

That is such a cute idea! I am so loving your site! I hope you are having a better day. :)
We all have our "off" days. Too bad you didn't find anything at the thrift stores as that probably would have perked up your day.
Hope today is better for ya.
Have a great weekend! :)
Oh my word that is the coolest thing ever....you always amaze me :)
I appreciate your well wishes! I am having a better day, and I'm getting a few things accomplished. Yay!
Hmmmm, I think I have more "off" days than "on" days... LOL

I love my visit here. I hope you will be feeling better tomorrow....Mary
too cute! so wish that i didn't have so many off days. Surly is such a great word! never thought about it before. I would say that describes me perfectly!!!! Good luck on the projects! I am off to garage sale in about 7 hours-maybe I should go to sleep!!
I did your fork project for a birthday present. I couldn't remember where I saw it, but remembered I had one here, so I used it for a pattern, so mine is a little different. I'd love for you to check it out. I used and old fork and those prongs were pretty hard to bend. I love the way it turned out, and I am considering doing some of these for Christmas presents. I figure I have maybe a dollar in them. By the way quit beating yourself up you are an inspiration!
Someone must have been reading your blog. My daughter saw these somewhere and we used for holding the table signs at her very eclectic DIY wedding. They were a hit!!!
