Seeder Cross
Either, my grandfather or great grandfather made this tool (or what was a tool).
It was used for planting seeds. It had two handles (which I removed).
I wish I would have taken a picture of what the tool looked like originally (before I transformed it). The metal box dispensed the seeds as the handles were pulled apart.
I almost sent the tool to Goodwill. Good will I didn't! Last minute folk art thinkin' and tinkerin', turned the seeder into this cool func art.
Jhn 12:24-25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn a wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Yes, you can paint your couch, I did!
We've had this couch for over 10 years, and it was time for a re-invention.
First, I stapled the skirt up.
Next, I ordered stainless peg feet.
Finally, I convinced my wife, that regular (egg shell finish) wall paint would give us new lease via a vibrant color (the original color was between forest / pea soup green).
It worked!
(That is, after 3-4 coats of paint, of course. Roller application of the paint worked best.)
And mom made us new pillow covers from old curtains.
