For those who don't know, my youngest daughter was born with Bi-Lateral (Both feet) Clubfeet.She has been in cast after casts, bars and braces at night..minor surgeries etc..since she was 5 days old!<br />

Every time her feet would straighten out BUT they would relapse.. =/ A tendon transfer surgery was our last resort as it is a MAJOR surgery, not too mention that <i>after </i>the surgery..the patient is COMPLETELY IMMOBILE for 6 weeks! eekkkkkkk..but it was the only option we had left. So, we went ahead and did the operation. Boyyyy was <b>THAT </b>an ordeal..The surgery lasted about 3 hours and lemme' tell ya' when your 4 y.o is having a 3 hour surgery..<b><u>IT. FEELS. LIKE. 3 DAYS!!!!!! </u></b>Usually my hubs is the one who kind of checks out and freaks and I'm usually the one to try and keep it light and just try and make the time go by quicker, joke around etc.. BUT this time, I just sat out in the courtyard of the hospital cafeteria with my Diet Coke, threw on my big Jackie O shades and let the tears just stream down my face! I couldn't even <i>pretend </i>and make small talk, this is a HUGE deal. Thankfully GOD must have known that I was slipping into the dumps ,so he sent a crazy homeless lady who started doing her frickin' warm up scale in a FULL OPERA voice! It sounded like when Ursula, the sea witch was stealing the little mermaids voice and she was making her sing "Ah ah ahhhhh, Ah ah ahhhhhhhh"<br />

It was fuckin' hilarious, I couldn't help BUT cheer up! Seriously, this woman must have done her "Warm Ups' for at LEAST 7 minutes! By the time she was finished, both my husband and I were bustin' up. (I know, we're horrible..#sueme)<br />
<br />
Her Dr and nurses were fab and the hospital was so great but, those first couple of weeks after the surgery were ROUGH. She was in alot of pain at night with muscle spasms that would wake her. I told my husband that I think we got more sleep when she was a <b>newborn</b>, fresh from the hospital than after this surgery!! Like they say, "Time heals all wounds" and it did! Thankfully, we are 9 days away from getting the casts off BUT lemme' tell ya'! This had been the LONNNGGGEST 6 weeks of my <b>LIFE</b>. This child has been MORE than patient with all the Shi* she has to deal with and I am SO proud of her.<br />

This kid must have had her picture taken 78,952 times! (And sista' girl posed for EVERY <i>one</i>!) I will do a separate post on the making of the wheelchair costume in case other parents of "Clubbies" want to make their kid-o one. Since, it was actually purrdy easy..THEN my ABSOLUTELY faaaaavorite holiday came up as well! Dia de los Muertos!!<br />

Not because I didnt WANT to paint her...She just hadn't told me the color yet! My knee jerk is TURQUOISE but hell, If I keep painting EVERYTHING turquoise..they're gonna have to call me "Turoquoise LOCO"'N-T, Who..I decided to go with white..<br />

Once I got that sander in my hot little hand I couldn't STOP, something took over me! That distressing felt so RIGHT! Now! It wouldn't be a Shabby Loco Original if I didn;t have SOME turquoise in there?! Duh...So, I dry brushed some here and there for depth and contrast ;)<br />

A GORGEOUS, Antique Buffet. Made in the Early 1900’s by the
L.Kreiss & Sons Furniture Company of San Francisco. This is a 16<sup>th</sup> century reproduction
English Buffet made from a heavy dark Oak. Beautiful carvings and original
wooden, and iron pulls. Strong, stretcher base with tons of wear, charm and
distressed areas. I have refinished this piece in a Soft, Charcoal black chalk
paint and sealed by hand with a dark wax for added protection and a beautiful velvety
Luster! Truly a rare find…Would be a wonderful conversation piece for ANYWHERE
in your home. Dimensions are 41x41x21.<o:p></o:p></div>

Just a plain Jane little end table..I was gonna' go the whole "Shabby" route...Old White...some distressing...clear/dark wax yadda yadda...blahblahblah..BORIIINNNNNG but, I said NO!<br />
<br />
She needs some COLOR! Also, I had been dying to try out some of the stencils Deborah got in at <a href="http://peinturestudios.com/" target="_blank">Peinture </a><br />
so I got busy painting her in a fun Turquoise (A mix up of Florence, Provence and couple drops of Napoleonic)<br />
<br />

I found these at Big Lots! (<i>Or </i>"MacFrugals", for you East of the Mississippi folks)<br />
<br />
They're "Bed Risers" I have no idea why you wouldn't just buy a friggin' box spring, and frame for your bed to get it off the floor??! but what.ev's..<br />
I thought <i>nooooooo </i>I can use them to get my pieces off the FLOOR and paint the legs and everything alot better instead of flipping upside down to get to the bottoms...<br />
Worked.like.a.charm!<br />

O.K Sorry for the A.D.D interruption.. So, got here painted up, painted the top in Pure White then realized I didn't get the stencils! So, I did what every good DIY'er does...I turned to YouTube! I found this lady, Amanda from "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tjY5EUEEDJk" target="_blank">Mommy is CooCoo</a>" blog who did THEE most easy to follow video on how to paint chevron stripes like <i><b>EVERRRR</b></i>!<br />

To get the image of Hello Kitty on there, I used my good ole' $20 Overhead projector from Craigslist and a free image of Hello Kitty from Google images printed onto a transparency..Taped down the image..VERY important..the projector heats up AND it has a fan blowing to keep the machine cool at the same time..<b><i>NOOOO </i></b>BUENO when you are trying to trace an image onto something and the mother clucker justs drifts off the top of the glass! <b>Ggrrrrrrr</b>...anyway <u>take my word for it</u>..</div>

I finished them up and brought them into the store. We had everything in place. Angela had made some really nice tablecloths and chair pillows using Annie's fabric (which is ridic)...by the way..Debbie brought some new art work in, we had a local tea bar set up a tea social in the back with macaroons, and little finger foods...sorry, no crumpets.

I mean, there isn't a pretentious bone in her little body. The First thing I noticed was she stopped dying her hair.. She has the best salt and pepper thang' going on and I <i>lurved </i>it. She immediately came in and was greeting everyone, taking pictures and signing books before we could even get her settled in..and <b>boy </b>did we need to get her settled in! Poor Jose was on the verge of having to crack' some skulls out there! The line was gettin' a little cray cray up in there! Bein' all sassy and thangs' with poor Jose..</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"When's she going to start signing"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Why isn't the line moving"!?</span><br />

Bring it on over!<br />

Well, after that whirlwind trip meeting Annie, I came home so excited to get painting BUT I still had the bug pretty bad..This past weekend I did drag out an older piece I had in my stash that I felt was just screaming Paris Grey! (My hubby & Youngest even felt well enough to garden...Who wouldn't pass on free child labor?!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXBl6m5cSI7iVjHMSqp0NEnY16PQ-jyd4KcnzgCe3gy8OlOzLZ5vAFRsc7lJ_CajKyylvmjAaoYBoXoIejUWeafTozxo7QsBE-_jsT3ytLf8AuiqmHtyBHozoZHVQFPcZV5m27AUrA5zsS/s1600/JOSSY+%2526+CART.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXBl6m5cSI7iVjHMSqp0NEnY16PQ-jyd4KcnzgCe3gy8OlOzLZ5vAFRsc7lJ_CajKyylvmjAaoYBoXoIejUWeafTozxo7QsBE-_jsT3ytLf8AuiqmHtyBHozoZHVQFPcZV5m27AUrA5zsS/s320/JOSSY+%2526+CART.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I did all the usual steps that I always do BUT I did try out something a <i>little </i>different..For the top instead of waxing it<i> and since I don't have Annie's Lacquer yet.</i>.I used my good ole' wipe on poly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://fabulousfinishes.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/minwax-wipe-on-waterbased.jpg?w=655" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://fabulousfinishes.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/minwax-wipe-on-waterbased.jpg?w=655" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Worked like a charm..I also kept all the origial hardware, I just went over them very lightly with Old White and did a wipe back of the paint with a damp cloth after they had dried for an hour or so. I think it came out <i>purrty </i>cute! It's a smaller desk, and would be perfect in a little girls room. Matter of fact my oldest is eyeing it! <i>;)</i><br />

I <b><i>KNOW </i></b>I too, wanna vomit if I see another one BUT! I thought what she used as the actual wreath form itself was so clever! Instead of going to Michales and buying a styrofoam wreath to use, and probably paying 5 - 6 bucks...She went to the plumbing dept. at Home Depot and bought a six foot piece of foam tubing (for pipes) for<b> .97 cents</b>!! Cut it down to the size she needed and just taped up the ends! <b><i>ANNDD </i></b>with a six foot piece she probably has enough to make 3 or 4 wreaths out of that ONE piece. <b>THIS </b>is probably my most re-pinned pin on there..<br />
Alright well, gotta' run..Michael's will be opening soon!! Oh, as a parting gift to you all.. Here's a little Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" for ya'...<br />

<br />
<u>You will need</u><br />
<b>LOTS </b>of painters tape.<br />
Piece of Chalk<br />
Red,White and Blue paint.<br />

Pure White, Emperors Silk and Napoleonic Blue by Annie Sloan.<br />

It friggin' works like a charm bay buh'! So next time you just wanna' tweak it a little and don't want to buy a ten dollar sample pot..head down to Michaels and<i><b> taste the Rainbow!</b></i> ;)<br />

While the wax was doing it's thing..I got all "Bill Nye, the Science guy.." I had read once before that a good remedy for cleaning brass was HOT SAUCE..Apparently it has to do with the Vinegar..and know waahh? IT WORKED! Check it out..<br />

I let them soak in a bowl of hot sauce for about 15 mins....<br />

<br />
<b>OK, </b>Back to the desk..<br />
<br />
I got my curved edge <a href="http://www.rockler.com/cabinet-scraper-set" target="_blank">cabinet scraper</a> and got busy chipping it up!<br />

<br />
Remember...<b>"Karma's only a bitch..If <i>YOU </i>are!" </b><br />
<br />
Now, I <i>did </i>painstakingly take the time to make a cute little button & it would be <i>VERY </i>cool of you, if you could post it in your post or sidebar...So,<br />
Let's get this party train started! I'll go first...<br />
<br />
So here was my WTF of this week... Take a look at this singles ad I found recently... <br />
<br />

I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Old white". (Which you can buy from my rock star stockist <a href="http://www.roundthecoop.com/paint-and-supplies.html">Debbie</a> ;) )<br />
I refinished the top using "<a href="http://www.howardproducts.com/prod-restor-a-finish.php" target="_blank">Restore A finish</a>", since it was in pretty good shape, and sealed it with bees wax. The legs and sides were <i>Stained </i>and distressed using my <a href="http://shabbyloco.blogspot.com/2011/09/oh-mah-gaud-gaudy-mirror-that-is.html">mash up technique</a> of clear and dark wax. So, that's it in a nutshell...<br />

Linda & Sherron over at <a href="http://www.smallholdings.blogspot.com/2012/01/guest-post-from-our-friend-at-shabby.html">small holdings farms</a> asked me to do a guest post for them! Can you believe that?! They actually let me loose on their blog!! Hahahaha,(<i>Don't worry Mother</i>, I acted like I had <i>some </i>home training)...lol...They have the cutest store in New York (Too bad, I'm so far away! <i>I could do some damage in there!!) </i>and their tag sales and "Barn sales" look soooooo awesome! Go troll through their blog and get <i>inspired</i>!!<br />
