The Ugly Truth

The picture below is what my kitchen table has looked like for years. I know. You're embarrassed for me, aren't you? This is the painting, playdoh, coloring station. Plus it's where we eat a large percentage of our meals. It's one thing to have family and friends that love you see something like this. They won't judge you. Well, probably not to your face, anyway. Since soon strangers will be parading through my house, poking through my things, I decided to do finally do something about it.

I got the idea from my fave Farm Chick Serena who inspired me with her project. I got the oilcloth from here. I'm not ruling out the possibility of painting this table one day but right now if someone tried to make me pick up another paint brush, I'd probably beat them with it.

From the perspective of someone who just finished every project on her to do list from the last 5 years, let me say this, stop lollygagging and get moving. What are you waiting for? What are you afraid of? Maybe your vision won't pan out. So what? Instead of being iritated every time you see that unfinished project, you will feel satisfied, proud and content after you have tackled it. I promise it's not as hard as you think it is. Now go get off your kiester and get started and when you've finished come back and tell me about it.
