Less fat, more sweet.

Crochet Happy!
Lately I have been knee deep in year. I crochet every day.
Today I made a cute little trinket box with a lid. No pics of it yet but I will post a sample of something else I made recently. Excuse the flighty hair. :o

The Inconvenient Desk 4/27/11
Excuse the mess please, craftopia had to be moved for this beast to fit. It takes up more room than it makes. But, I am bound and determined to make it work. Perhaps not in that exact spot though. Hmmm...to be continued, I'm afraid.
Bummin! 4/16/11
This winter I have really just, slacked. Very uncool! Time to buckle down and get busy.

Jellies! 3/14/11
I don't intentionally gravitate towards sea creatures and jellyfish, but I do see a tendency! lol
These were fun to draw and paint. The finished product had some more white to highlight the tentacles.

Holy Shiskebob! 2/28/11
Has it really been over a month and a half since I've posted!!?? Tsk Tsk! That won't do. I guess I do have a tendency to hibernate in the winter.
Here is a picture I just finished last night. Couldn't bring myself to cover the drawing with paint. So I settled for chalks and conte.

A new year..a new craft.. 1/9/11
I have taken up a little crochet. It's very relaxing. I would love to do it well enough to make some scarves and accessories

The holidays were terrific and the new year shows promise :) I hope yours does too!
Happy New Year!!

Being Wordy... 12/4/10
I am making glass magnets with glass bits from the dollar store. I am cutting out words and pictures and gluing them onto the bits. Then I will get some magnets and glue to the back. I plan on making a framed metal board for them to hang on..should be fun and I will post pics!
Slacking!!
The holidays sort of lulled me but NO!! breaking out of that lull!!

Were you the turkey that got stuffed? :)
Happy Holidays and Yes..I was definitely the turkey that got stuffed. Had a fabulous meal with my loved ones and just enjoyed the day and evening thoroughly. I have been slowly making the ornaments for the tree this year, the theme is 'arts&crafts' . The whole family is going to paint some holiday icons (tree, snowflake, cane, etc) on these little cardboard unpainted boxes i have. I am planning on making little strips of paper to put inside with memories, gifts, etc.
Do you have any holiday projects in the works? Cookie trays you are putting together? MMMmmm cookies. Haha..Enjoy!

Got this idea out of a craft magazine. "Cloth-Paper-Scissors" Oct. 2010 ed. pg. 44 by (( so embarrassed but not sure if its)) Michael D. Emeng or Michael Demeng. Anyway it's a really fun project.
Autumn Wreath 10/24/10
My husband wanted a wreath for the front door. Fortunately I resisted the urge to buy the expensive low quality one..rather I went to the dollar store and bought all the materials to make my own.
Love it!

Rainy days and paint spills always get me down...
It is one cold wet day. I spent too much time at the hardware store and then came home and spilled paint all over the floor in the garage. Thanks goodness I did it in the garage.

Hand Painted Paper Mache Skulls
Hand painted with acrylics. Beautiful colors set against a black background.
Thanks For Your Support!
I am going into re-purposing with an artistic flair. I will post new projects here as well as a page devoted to items for sale. Let 'er buck!
This first pic is an old radio cabinet that my mother-in-law gave me. I've had it for quite awhile and it had a lot of water and fire damage to it. With a little paint and imagination it now has a new beautiful look, reminiscent of days gone by.

Edit: Over 2 hours of sanding and I now know what my least favorite task is...Sanding! But oooh that dresser will be nice.

Of course that's because I didn't know there was such a thing, haha. Here is my 98% naked dresser.
What to do with it, what to do with it, hmmm...
