Ideas and Feeling Blah

     Was cruising the net looking at other people's ideas, projects and inspiration when I got an idea. All week I have been dreading the thought of starting the cemetery fence because I just couldn't seem to picture how to join the parts together seamlessly or without building a half dozen pillars. Cost is a major factor at this point. Since I was already going to be buying PVC pipe for the rails, why not buy two or three of the 2" or 4" pieces and use those for posts? I figure that I can use the strip caulking on the pipe to give it a more column like look, and there are always an abundance of toppers that I can find that would fit quite nicely. Should also make the fencing stand up better also. Just a few pieces of rebar in the ground, slide the column over top then attach the fence.  Now if I can just transfer what is in my mind onto the materials and make it look like what I have envisioned is the real problem.  And to think, got this from looking at the fence around a family plot.
     Progress on the pumpkin head and the candles seems to be at a stand still. I just can't seem to get motivated to finish either one. Not that I will finish the candles anytime soon, there are just tooo many of them to make.  I guess I am just feeling a little lonely lately. Both of the boys work pizza delivery and between school and poker the hubby isn't around much either. Normally I would love the alone time, but for some reason lately I just end up feeling alone. I think part of it is remembering all of the promises of help and not seeing any now.  But that is how it usually goes, Oh Well. Guess I will plug in the old glue gun and get back to work on the candles.
