I have been a busy bee lately! Saturday through yesterday, I painted our new kitchen door. The reason it took so long was because I painted the stucco patches and the stucco on the frame as well as the outside frame itself on Saturday and wanted it to be completely dry before I started on the door. Then on Sunday, I painted the trim on the inside of the house and the door on the inside. I wanted to make sure it was completely dry before taping things off to touch up and doing the second coat. We were able to leave the door open to let the frame dry and do a second coat.
Sunday I painted the outside of the door, but it starts getting dark kind of early now, so I didn't have a chance to finish second coat and inside of the frame on Sunday. Monday is was SUPER SUPER windy and so I didn't do anything to it. So yesterday, I did the second coat and finished the frame and it just looks so super beautiful and I am so happy to have a door that doesn't squeak and scrape super loud every time we open it and a door handle that's not janky!!
How gorgeous is this blue? It's Outer Space by Behr. It's the approved color for "Tardis Blue".
Other fun things- we went for a walk yesterday and look at this tree across the street from our house (that's our cute yellow house in the background)! It's a natural Christmas Tree! I wonder if they will decorate it for Christmas... I tried decorating a couple of times outside when we lived in Hutto, but it gets so windy that it blew everything all over and some days, we get wind like that here too, so I just have my solar faerie lights on the porch.
Speaking of, when redoing my faerie lights (I had to move the solar panel on them so I had to totally remove one set and what a pain in the ass that was to get them back up!), I heard this loud squawking, like a goose, approaching me and I was like "What the fuck is that squawking?" Then I realized it was coming from overhead. It was a pack of geese flying south!! In Texas, I never saw that. Or if I did, they were already too high up for me to hear them. It was really cool! I didn't get a pic because I was too busy oggling!
I also finished my Tree of Gondor cross stitch last night. It was a pretty easy one, even though I used navy blue as the fabric, and I did it in glow-in-the-dark thread which to be honest isn't quite as easy as regular because it tends to fray a little, but I am happy with how it turned out. I haven't tested the glow brightness.
