I have been so busy these past few weeks I don’t know if I am coming or going.  I went to my first craft show of the year this past weekend and it was fun.  I love to show my masterpieces to people and see their reactions.  I refinish furniture and some of it is really out of the box.  Momma Said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” 

 I love to go out and find old pieces that need a little love, sometimes remaking them into something entirely different from its intended use.  I really enjoy saving old pieces of furniture and I can usually envision how I can remake them into something beautiful. Most times it is crazy paint or a beautiful transfer and viola, beauty.

My motto is:  rescue, refurbish and reuse.  That will be the name of my business when I get rich and can open my own store.  I know when I send a piece out the door it is going to be solid and will probably last another 50 years.  Most of the pieces I find are solid wood and not pressed cardboard.  I won’t refinish something that I would not put in my own home.  

Working with wood is very therapeutic for me.  Sanding is getting hard on me with the pain that I have in shoulders and neck but it is worth it to run your hand over a piece of wood that is as smooth as glass.  Momma Said, “Pain is just a state of mind and I lost my mind a long time ago so I am good to go.” 

Salsa Fresca

Ingredients

2-3 medium fresh tomatoes, seeded

½ red onion

1 jalapeno chile (remove seeds for less heat)

Juice of one lime

½ cup chopped cilantro

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.  For a smoother texture, you can pulse half the salsa in a food processor, then combine it with the remaining chunky half.  Cover tightly and refrigerate.  Chill at least one hour for more flavorful salsa.
