NEW YEAR-NEW ART

YAY!  It's another NEW YEAR and I'm hitting the paint buckets hard. I'm so excited to have made a resolution that will disciplie me to two days per week to do my art and paint furniture. YAY!

I'm sticking with it too! Okay now for the good stuff. Here are a few updates. I'm now snapping photos with my new Smart phone but of course I've just now stopped long enough to add them to my blog. So are you ready? Let's GO!

Polka-dot Chair- A freebie from a good friend, was in terrible shape but wa-la! Isn't she gorgeous?


This was just an ugly old wooden box until Jerry
got hold of it and put a sweet screen door on the top. Matches
my kitchen beautifully.



This really looks so much better in
real life. For some reason the photo
doesn't do it a bit of justice. It's actually
a large jewelry display for my
little booth at the Antique Store.

This is where I create! Well at least one place where I create. I do all my large pieces and really messy stuff out here in Studio-B! This happens to be a very -very-slow day. Obviously. I'll post a pic one day on a happy messy day. That's more like me.'  

This is a little wooden try that Jerry made from scrap wood.  Just had to decorate with polkie-dots! love them!

This is Gabby and I'm teaching her how to sew. This is her first lesson. She made two cute little monsters. I'm also teaching her piano lessons. Gabby is an incredibly awsome little girl and I'm proud that she's my friend.

Wine bottles started showing up everywhere cuz I thought I wanted to make some of them sparkly lights but , well, that didn't work so well for me so instead... I just made a chicken and a rabbit and now I want to make a whole barnyard MOO!!!



This is the Rabbit. I think these little critters are adorable. I really like the rustic look of them. Not quite completed but just a few more things to do. Then off to market we go weeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the living area of my house. Jerry and I are very cozy in our humble abode. There is Pootella, otherwise known as Pooty-Poo sitting inthe recliner. Not sure why she is there she usually sits inthe round chair. Humm. Papa Bear must be fixin din-din. Sugar-Pie our little long hair doxie must be sneaking around somewhere, sorry you missed her. She is a...hum, she's a Sugar-Pie.

Thanks Sharon for this cute little cafe set. When she gave it to me it was grey--blah! Then a little paint on the chairs with a few dots- freshen up those legs and put some sunshine on that table and well you know...off to market.


Looks like I'm all caught for now I hope you will drop in again. This year is going to be marvelous I can already tell. I'm excited to share it with you but until later, have a blessed and glorious NEW YEAR!      

FLYING TIME

WOW! Time flies when you're busy. And busy is what I've been. Sorry to be away so long  but just a quick update to let all of my blog family know that I really appreciate you stopping by and visiting me when you can. All of you are a true inspiration to keep those creative waters flowing. 
I'll make it snappy so here goes... Since October this is whats been happening and I mean this is just the "core" of it all not those other things that surround a life.

1.  Fall Festival
2. I did a total remake of my Mothers kitchen, painting walls, cabinets, and laying new floor YAY!
3.  Thanksgiving Dinner for about 60 hungry pilgrims.
4. Christmas Parade Float Decor
5. Christmas Parade other stuff that goes with it.
6. Helped put together a beautiful wedding for  dear friend.
7. Directed and Spearheaded the Munchkin MInistry while transporting children to and from,  and entertaining two Nursing Home Fascilities. 
8. Wrote, Directed and Produced an awesome Christmas Play, Danger in the Manger with a wonderful cast of 16.

Okay, now this doesn't involve the furniture revamps and ornament making, and hair doing, and house cleaning that goes on in between.

WHEW! and guess what?  NOW I'M SICK!

All I want is for someone to come  to my house and bake me some sugar cookies that look like snowmen and santa with a cute little candy cane. Honestly, please come, DO IT YOURSELF , don't ask me where anything is...look for it.....then pour me a tall glass of cold milk ( fat free) and join me as I celebrate my most beloved season of all. 


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL.................REMEMBER JESUS AS YOU CELEBRATE. J

                                             SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

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!
