Total Serious Happy Thread

I just finished a painting I started *10* years ago

I promised myself no new projects until I completed one of my old ones (and then promptly set myself to work on Neph's wedding gift, LOL), but tonight I finished the teacups painting - finishing the stonework in the wall and redoing the Alice leaves that used to bug me so much (because I'd done them wrong).

I also did some work on a much more recent work-in-progress, my TSI painting. Now that I have the right shade of brown, I was able to paint over the mill on the island and make it much more realistic looking. I am *very* pleased with the change - yay! (looked like hell before, especially set amongst some pretty decent trees and water I'd done).

I have a woodworking project that I started about eight or nine years ago that still needs to be completed. It is a five-section Barrister's bookcase. the only thing remaining is to make the crown and the base, install the glass in the doors and mount them and finish it (stain and laquer). The actual work needed is relatively minimal (the wood for the base is already cut, it just needs to be assembled), but the unit are sitting in our living room being used to hold books and Disney stuff.

Sigh. Now I am not so happy. Maybe this should be posted somewhere else.
