Transformations

Given the top secret nature of my cold fusion research I am unable share the project I worked on most of February, (which gladly I've finished!) but I CAN show you some other minor non-fusion projects that have helped me keep my place a continual train wreck.  

Both of these were Craigslist finds that I gave a mini makeover to. Sadly I don't have a before picture of the number dresser, just an in progress shot after I did the numbers. No drama or big reveal here.  It was just a great dresser that had a drawer with the bottom out. I sanded it a bit, stenciled numbers, sealed it and put in a shelf where the drawer was, new knobs and..... Viola!

The mini bookshelf doesn't look so amazing either, but trust me, it was a horrid band aid color (see how it matches my house?)  and it is now a lovely seafoam and periwinkle.  (which you can't really see)

 The last transformation I once again do not have a before shot, but to be fair, I was not aware I would rupture my tendon and therefore did not take a photo of my chicken skin calf before the bruising showed up. I should have taken the shot a day or two earlier as it was a great green.   It is now a lovely yellow green on the hard to photograph back and in a strip on the front, which I find confusing.  (yes I am aware of the unshaved hair in the photo... now that I took the picture)

The leg is coming along fine. I can walk without a stability boot. It is slow and methodical, and I am sore at the end of the day, but I think it is healing up quite quickly. I'm awfully fortunate that it snapped just before spring break so I could heal up in private and not be sweating it all out in front of the students.

I've got a few other projects (ok... a LOT of other projects) started, but no completion date projected. I have done a better job of documenting on a few and only hope they turn out a bit more impressive than this lot.
Some things (like chicken skin legs and furniture in dim rooms) just don't photograph that well!
