BRRR. Ok. I am totally over the cold weather. Single digit tempertures do not thrill me. Guess on the plus side it keeps me at home where I am managing to get some projects done. I am trying to work on things for my spring sale. Every year I say that I am not going to wait until a month before. And OMG....I am actually doing it this time! I love working on mixed media things. Canvas, books, etc. So, I am trying to work on something every day. Today I have actually been felting all morning. I will be doing a class here in a couple of weeks. We are making felt rosette pins. I have been buying up old wool sweaters at thrift stores and getting them ready. Should be fun!


Waiting for this necklace to be picked up by a client. It was made using an earring that belonged to her grandmother and I added a vintage crystal on one side. This is the same girl that I did the rings for her cousins for Christmas. I love this piece. She wanted to keep it simple. Hope she likes it.

This necklace was made using a vintage butterfly. My husband's cousin Betsy loves butterflies so I wanted to surprise her with an early birthday gift.

I made several camera straps as gifts for Christmas. My son is sporting a Chicago Cubs strap.

I know that I said NEVER EVER was I going to attempt a slip-cover again. But I decided to bite the bullet and try again. Using a couple of painter's drop cloths I went to work.
alot of pinning and cutting.....

getting there......

Sadie thinks that the drop cloth is for her...guess she wanted a jump on leaving dog hair on the furniture.

DA DA.....finished!
Ok. So maybe I will do it again. But, I am going on record as saying that I will NEVER EVER do another t-cushion. How do you sew a t shape and then get the cushion back into it?? I am not a seamstress. Just the last part of that word....stress. Above the chair you can see the corner of a sub-way style board that I did. I put on it all the towns that Rich and I have lived in. 16!!

this is an adorable little vintage table and chair that I did for a client who is expecting her first little princess February 14. Her nursery is done all in pink, so she wanted to bring in some vintage looking green to match a quilt she had.

The chairs are so
unusual...love them. I think I should start looking for
Maryn a little set. Tea parties are in that girls future!!

oh I wish that this were all I had to do......................................

Some more things that I have been making for my spring sale. Little notebooks

decorative little wooden boxes

small mirror


did I already post this????


Did you really think I could post without adding a few pictures of the most beautiful little girl in the world??
On January 16 we had the
privledge of attending baby dedication services at the Chapel. I am so proud of Missy and Tyler for this decision to raise that precious little girl in a
christian home. And knowing they have a church family that will stand behind them and support them. It was a special morning with all the grandparents there. Followed by lunch at
Biaggi's.
What a handsome family!

Love this picture of
Maryn holding onto her grandpa Rich's thumb.

Just looking at this face makes me smile.
