This is the sweetest yellow bird, it isnt showing up as yellow, I'll take another picture...but I had to play around with this digital scrapbooking elements just a bit. This little gal is going to be on Ebay. I hand painted the flowers and leaves. The top was a candle holder
Oh my sweet little helpers. Can you just hear them..hey bro...what do you think is in here!!
I was going through a little box of mish mash of jewelry, someone wanted to help!
I had some "play" time..I cast these little vintage looking treasures. I used fimo clay and then poured in plaster of paris...it worked a bit better then my cupcakes!! One piece is MIA..where do you think the kittys sent it flying off too?
ok, yes, I had these ON my desk, guess they shouldn't have been there! lol
Do you SEE the tip of this can of air...little hard to blow off the computer now!!
OOOOh am I ever having fun. I wanted to get back into soldering, but I wanted to do something that was different, something I really havent seen in blog land...here is my take on the charms...I painted the cupcakes on watercolor paper and framed them. The "big" ones are 1 1/2 square and that tiny one...1" square. I did use the spica glitter pens, they add just the hint of sparkle that I like. I think these would be good to put on my etsy, which I have set up, but haven't used.Let me know what you think. I plan to painting chocolate truffles, cherries...I would love to hear some idea's. Oh, I have painted a birds nest and eggs, thought I would put that in a charm...
Oh the morning sun was shining through my window! Here is another sweet baby shoe...it doesnt really show, but I spritzed it with gilmmer mist, there is the softest hint of antique pink glimmer.
see the hint of glimmer on the toe area...not really? lol
I decided it was time...I gathered all my tools and gadgets. Went and bought a tile to put it all on and now I have a soldering station. I found this clip in the paint department at Home Depot it is perfect for holding up the glass for soldering. My soldering iron is about 20 years old. A bit of crud on the tip. I got it cleaned up, still isnt staying hot on the tip, so I plan to get another, anybody have any idea what kind I should get? I would love to hear what is being used out there. No one mentioned my ooops...got my banner just a bit big, dont you think. LOL!!
Here is my latest charming friend, I hand cut all these little flowers and notched them and then added the floss to pull in the little petals, I also dyed these cut leaves and stitched veins in them...am I nuts??! lol. The centers of the flowers are pins that I glittered. I have this sweetness listed on Ebay
I'm going to take you on a little tour of Staceys apt. It is so darn cute!! Look at her printer...nope, you cant buy them like that! Didnt she do a great job painting it!
This little cooking hat came with red shoes...would have looked just fine in my house! LOL, but she gave them a coat of green
We have found quite a few pears at thrift shops, she has repainted them. The black and white candle on the right is a handcarved candle, so beautiful when lit.
Here are two handcrafted vase holders, we have the most wonderful art fair every summer.
An Ikea curtain, it puts such a pretty color in the room with the sun shining through it.
Ok! Who says you cant paint your toaster if it isnt the right color! LOl. Yep, she painted it!
Heres another one of these wire shelfs...she LOVES them!!
This isnt the best picture, but I had to show you this HUGE pear, it is brass and she painted it, Look at the great fork! She painted that too.
The phone jack is on the wall, so she has to put her phone somewhere. Look at this great collection of LeCreusets!!
I love how these older apt.s have such character..We did find out this use to be an old motel!
All the things you see here...bought at different thrift stores!
Interesting mirror
See those bottles on the right and that frame. Stacey sent in photos to Jones Soda and they put them on their bottles...you should have heard me whoop it up in the store when I found them.LOl They have her name on them and where shes from...pretty cool!!
on the bottom shelf...little tiny pear salt and pepper, glass and metal, she bought those off of ebay.
One last shot...a few more of the unique salt and pepper grinders that she has found and painted!
I'll be picking a winner tomorrow, so be sure and comment if you are interested!!
Let me explain this picture!! While my husband was getting in the closet...his jacket fell off the hanger. This little one crawled inside the sleeve and was wiggling around. Dean got to laughing and called me in, I of course...ran and got my camera, then he poked his head out.Soooo darn cute!
I was busy putting the groceries away in the kitchen, I came back to get the kitty food...well, what is left of it!! lol. You'd think I never feed them!! *Note to self: Put Kitty food away FIRST*
This is my latest...cute shabby chic teapot. I dyed the lace with glimmer mist. Its listed on my ebay.
This first photo is a little blah... But, look at that handle...its a beauty.
