Waiting is very hard for me, although I am getting better at it. By nature, though, I am not a very patient person. I am always in a hurry to get to the next thing and get this one thing checked off the list. I am learning that there are so many hidden gifts in the wait, that one must not count it out. When I am in line at the store, it gives me an opportunity to meet someone new who is waiting too and even if I never see them again, it is nice to have chatted with them for a bit. When I am in the waiting room at the doctors office, I get a chance to finish that book I haven't been able to get to. When I have waited for a dream to be realized, it seems to take a lifetime, and then when it gets here, I realize how much fun it was just dreaming about it and anticipating it, and now that part is gone, and I have to make a new dream to wait for. I sometimes envision something for a project that doesn't yet exist or I can't find it, so I settle for something less than what I really wanted. So anyway, for those of you who have been keeping up with this blog and the process of the mini bar transformation, that this where I am now. In the joy of the wait. I am waiting for all the perfect things that I envisioned to surface. I found these handles that would be grand, but are very expensive, so I am doing what I usually do since I am cheap, and I am trying to learn how to make them myself out of metal castings
. This will probably prove to be an expensive lesson and I may end up having to buy them anyway, but since I am in no hurry and will not settle for less, that is just what I am going to do. I appreciate your patience and hope you are having as much fun waiting as I am:) But DO let me know if you have the perfect mercury glass ice bucket or bowl, cause I am still on the hunt for that:)))
Until we meet again....
By the way, while I have been WAITING, I have been submerged in some other very fun projects that are coming together nicely, so keep on the lookout for those.
