Aprons Made To Sell

Well today and yesterday I have been super productive. Yep thats me! Pro-Duc-tiv-ity! Been wanting to use some scraps out of my stash for well, years now and just couldn't bear to part with them but not anymore. Making room for more scrappy goodness. These little aprons will  be going to market with me tomorrow with great hopes they will sell quickly ....... so I can make more. more more! Take a peek cuzI'm not expecting them to be around too long. So, have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone and be sure, November is not the only time to give Thanks but every day is Thanksgiving. God is Good to Us, His Mercy Endures Forever! Amen! 

Okay, It's Time for the Apron Peep Show! Enjoy!

 

 

This one is really NOT Stained but it's wet. Snapped the photo after I sprayed with water to iron it. Oops!

Down below is a photo of a few little beanies I've made from left over Christmas Giftings that I made for all of my family. I mean EVERYONE had pink polka dot beannies. This was several years ago so I would saya this is the gift that keeps on giving. 

Come back really soon because I plan to have more stuff for you to eyeball and just maybe it will inspire you to get creative. Make something- share it with someone, then go do it again. Oh, you say you just aren't crafty? Well, I believe deep down inside of you there is a glue gun King or Queen just waiting to escape. Go ahead, pick up that Glue Gun, and make your day! See ya!

 

 

Booth Projects in Studio -B

Been so busy in the Studio. These are the latest projects completed wih the exception of twenty ornaments, three end tables, two cabinets, and adorable glitter reindeer.  Check out the newbies in Booth #11.

 

 

ELVES HAVE REPORTED FOR DUTY! SANTA CAN BEGIN MARKING OFF HIS LIST.

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty Big Elephant - Pink Too!

Wish I had turned this photo upright before posting but....oops! sorry. Anyway this was a redo. Paid $5.00 for it. Painted and made cushions. Sold quickly! YAY!

 

Love this cart. Another dumpster dive. It's in the booth waiting for the exact person who will love it too.

 

Thanks for dropping by. Hope you've been inspired to breathe life into something that's been disgrded or just needs a little TLC.  Be bck soon!

Yesterday was the first day of Fall! I love this time of year and I usually wait around too long to begin my fall projects. However, this year I've made a determined effort to beat the rush. You've seen my cute little , or should I say BIG screcrow from paper mache, and now let me introduce you to this cutie. It's made from cereal boxes. The windows are actually transparancies cut to size and then painted yellow. There is a light in the back so it illuminates a festive glow. The house began as a Winter House last year but never made the grade but after sitting on the shelf for such a long time I think it deserves a great applause. Yay!

 Oh yea before you get on with your blogging, let me introduce you to the latest member of our family. Her name is Lizzie Jane but.... I call her Pooty-Poo. You got it, she has earned that name. Next time I'll try to get a photo of her looking at the camera. 

Well blog buddies, I just want to say thanks for dropping in and checking on me from time to time. I've got tons of WIPS in the Studio and as I complete them I'll be sharing. So come back soon and be inspired to  CREATE-SHARE-REPEAT! ( not sure who said this but sounds good to me) See Ya!

Fall Is Coming YAY!!!!

We are fast approaching my favorite time of year. So today as I was completing a few wips, (works in progress) look who stumbled in! I was so glad to see Mr. Scarecrow that I've invited him to join me in my Gallery for the Fall Season. I think he will add quite a presence in the place while encouraging shoppers to drop in on Booth # 11 for some great finds. Can't wait to take him there to see how the shoppers respond to  his awesomness.

 

I'll let ya'll know how things go. Until then take a peek at the newest addition created in Studio-B.

 

Cute little Pink & Zebra Set, would be great for  a fun decor piece in any room.

 

 

 

Well, until next time, happy creating to all of you. I'll be posting again very soon cuz there are many projects awaiting me. Toodaloo!

Another redo by the Revamp Champ. Have a good night.

The Creative Flame

More Fuel for the Creative Flame  

 

 

 

 

Man, I'm on fire. I read art books,watch video tutes, constantly thinking of ...what can I make next'? And art supplies? Oh don't even go there! A time in my life I would spend all my extra cash on clothes and shoes. Not anymore. Give me paint... ink....canvas...glue sticks....mod podge....and give it to me NOW!   I'm a creative junkie I just know I am! BUT... that's perfectly OKAY!  Being creative is a gift that God has given ALL of us. Only some, choose not to tap into it.  I, for one, haven't tapped, I'm diving in, head first. YAY!  And I'm so glad to have a bunch of blog buddies who stop by and visit. Cuz, without a doubt....you understand me. ( smiley face) 

Creativity in action is  constructive energy released into the atmosphere. Thats it! Think of it this way.....BE CONSTRUCTIVE...NOT DISTRUCTIVE! Humph! I think I'm a poet now!  Alright enough is enough! BLAH..BLAH...BLAH!  Well that's what this is for right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here we go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Tons of fun in my sewing room over the past few days just trying to use up some of my scraps. Stuffies, pillows and more! I can't stop myself ! YIPPEE~!!!!

I think I'll name this one

 

"Sista Polkie-Dot'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another revamp from Studio -B. Not sure of the color on this one so I'm contemplating a

re-do...re-do!  (lol)

 

Here is a short list things I'm wanting to check out!

1. Mono Printing

2. Sludge ( gesso and extender)

3. Model Majic

4. Rigid Wrap

 

Also...a great inspirational  blog to visit is "Sue Pellitier". This artist is awesome. I love the freedom she expresses in her art. She is also on the cover of Cloth Paper Scissors a lot. And this is a magazine that I love -love- love. OH! and she is also in Somerset Studio! YAY! No wonder she's so awesome. If your looking for some Go-juice, check it out I know  you won't be dissapointed.

I hope all of you are having an art-filled day. AND.....I really hope High Gloss Gertrude is adding a little fuel to your creative flame.

 

 Tood-A-Loo!  

Furniture Revamps

 

I promised to blog about my most recent revamps so ladies and gentlemen here they are! I've always wanted one of these and while yard sale-ing I ran across this old beat up thing. (not sure wht it's called ) Anyway I was so excited cuz I could actually see the potential to be something great so I loaded it up in the back of J's toyota pick-up and now I love it so much I'm not sure if i'm going to add it to my Booth at the Antique Gallery. I thought it would be nice to be used as a quilt closet. Also, I tried my hand at 'distressing" and I'm really undecided if I like the "old" look but honestly, I'm just so happy it' done and in my home.    

 

BEFORE

AFTER


 

Now, on the other hand while I was waiting for paint to dry and in between all the rain we've had I conjured up this little quirky guy. So in love with him, gonna make him a woman. I'll be sharing that real soon.

The chair below is another yard sale find that I plan to revamp. The cushion is in the sewing room awaiting my personal touch. Think I'm going to really do something BRIGHT to this. I supposed I'll be finished with it within a few weeks. I know, that's a really long time but hey, I'm busy what can I say? See ya soon!
