The BLUE Ladybug

08/09/2026

Yesterday I challenged myself to clean and organized my garage and all my projects. As of now, I have 19 projects to completed. Some are small like a bread box or picture frame, others are side tables, benches, or a really cool 1940’s waterfall dresser.

The act of restoring a curb side discarded table is what I enjoy. I love sanding down the old and creating something new, beautiful and useful from something someone did not see value in and just threw away.

So today I will be doing what I enjoy! I will be tinkering in my garage and painting in my driveway….and I will be creating…which is the funnest thing to do to me💖

Finished pictures to come and a complete refresh for Fall at The BLUE Ladybug vendor space inside Words and Music-Birch Run Outlets.
