Quityerbellyaching Sign, Reader Copy

Last month I wrote a post on a wash stand that I made-over from orange oak to a combination of dark wood with some painted white areas.

A pretty cute little combo if I do say so myself.

But what seemed to have caught peoples attention was the little sign I hung above it.

QUITYERBELLYACHING

I've had the sign for over 20 years. 

My mom used to say that to me all the time, usually when I didn't think I was actually bellyaching about anything.

I bought it from a catalog that came in the mail, you know, before the days of internet ordering and making my own signs.............

Folks left comments about the QUITYERBELLYACHING sign and I received additional emails about it, one of which came from a reader we will call Kristy.  Because that's her name.

Kristy asked for help to recreate the sign.  The problem was I didn't make that sign so couldn't give her exacts on it.  I offered a tip or two and she was on her own.

On her own turned out to be a pretty good place - just look at the sign she made for herself.

Kristy's sign is every bit as good if not better than the original, and I thank her for sending me a photo and giving me the green light to show her handiwork to all to you.

I just hope the sign works better at her house than it ever did at mine to curb any belly-aching!

Here are a few of my favorite painted signs:
