Profile For ufercalling - Country Bumpkin

I'm just a plain ole country girl pushin 47-teen.. lol

I raise chickens and hope to raise a hog and beef for my freezer.  I'm trying my hand at gardening so as to can for the winter months. Going back to the simple days.  I don't have a tractor, so I turned my garden with a shovel. Whew!

I'm always thinkin of some way to do this and that.. creativity is my nature as long as it's "Country"

I paint old building and outhouse scenery on roofing slates.

I built a fence around a small herb garden with pallets, my husband has no vision for my hairbrained ideas.. it turned out kinda nice,, I painted it barn red.. luckily it matched our roof color, that was unplanned,, lol

Nice to join,, I have a few helpful tips of my own,,

RE: Painting Vinyl Wall Panels
I too live in a home with the vinyl wall panels as well. A couple weeks ago I painted my daughter's room. It's very small, maybe a 10 x 10. I wanted to warn you, the panels are so porous I had to use 2 coats and probably should have put on the 3rd. I used a whole gallon of EXPENSIVE paint. If I could turn back time, I would have used the Kilz primer first!
Our den, my husband put up a paintable stucco wall paper. The edges where the paper met, I used a tiny container of Red Devil joint compound. I applied it thin as possible using a plastic picnic knife. The teeth scratched the compound and when it dried it blended completely with the "stucco" hodge podge pattern. After painting, it's beautiful! ... View related article.

RE: Dyed Blonde Hair Turning Yellow
Girl! I have looked like a Barbie/Marilyn Monroe reject in the past due to the "yellow-gold" brass tones. I read from one of your posts about a Redkin product. She mentioned it having a purple color to it. Yep, in order to neutralize your "brassiness" you need a color with a blue/violet base. You can go to a Beauty Supply Store and you'll find a color in which you want in this category. You'll need 20 percent lift (bleach) by volume. Mix your color and lift into a paste and apply, follow the instructions. Don't be afraid to ask the clerk for information as well,, HOPEFULLY she will know what she's talking about. You can go to "Clarol Professional" website also. They have so much information to "Git er done!" lol Wish you the best! ... View related article.
