stain/tools in Second 1st

This morning I’ve done dishes and laundry as usual. I prepped lunch and snacks for work for the weekend. There was enough Nacho stuffs to get me covered :). Now I’m working on the frame. I am trying to make a stain. Apparently you can put steel wool in vinegar and let it sit. It should change color and BAM you can paint with it. I’ve watch a couple videos and set some out last night. It hasn’t changed color :( (either one, I did it with Apple cider vinegar too). I filtered it anyways and painted a test piece that is drying right now.

I went to prep the boards. Just a little sanding on the edges and ends and take off the bar code tags. i figured up the measurements and had the guys at Lowe’s cut them for me. I’m doing a different thing for this one because there is not a whole lot of extra canvas around the edges to wrap onto a frame. The stain I’m trying to do is to make it look more rustic. I don’t think a NEW wood frame would look all that good with The Wolves. I’m hopeful this turns out well.

Joseph wants to give it to Kerri for Christmas. I have no problem storing it here. I’ll even wrap it. She is a strange and Crazy chick but Joseph is out there himself.....

I went to take the tags off and they have a staple in them :(. I was able to pry half of one out and now I have looked everywhere and can’t find any pliers. I didn’t want to leave the house today but I guess I’m going to have to in order to finish this EVER. After the 9am Justin batch I’m going to run out and get something like this and may God save him if ever he touches it. I can never find tools when I want them because he always leaves them .... anywhere.... when he actually does things. I was raised in a house in which you put things back when you were done with them. “A place for everything, and everything in it’s place”. i think I may use my mother for that. Come help me organize my home. Some things are getting stupid. Like tools.
