Fall and Halloween Blocks

I swear it feels like I've been working on blocks forever.  I cut them a few months back, finally sanded them in May and June and finished them in June.  Here are the Fall and Halloween choices for this year.  

These will be available at my craft shows.  The first one will be Harvest Festival September 5-7 in Las Vegas at Cashman Center

A couple of new things

Here's a couple of things I did this week.  These pieces were created with 'blanks' from Krumpets in St. George.  They offer them with their designs on them but now sell them blank as well for your own creations.

 

I combined 2 pieces to create this home sign.  

These are the single one with two different sayings on them.  I re-painted the flower on each one and added the lettering.  Simple and quick, yet it's still a piece I created myself. 

A Hall Tree

 Well a tree painted in the hall anyway...;0)

I painted this tree in the hallway at my son and daughter in law's home over the weekend.  We all love love love the way it turned out.  

Christy loves owls so I had to add one to the tree for her.  

I painted a carved heart into the trunk of the tree to give it that true personal tough for them. 

Their plan is to place photo frames all over it with pictures of family...a family tree.  

I'm glad I was able to do something so special for them.  

What a great project for National Craft Month. 

Window Painting Season

It's that time of year to spread some holiday cheer! I've been out and about Thanksgiving weekend painting windows.  My youngest son, Chris is my helper and I enjoy getting to spend time with him.

Some of the locations even got a cowboy snowman and cactus.

Signposts are popular.

Penguins have been popular this year.

I did a custom theme for the Boulder Dam Credit Union to go with their Angel Tree program.

I love their wings.

Show and Tell Friday

I've been up to my ears in frames these days as I prep for the fall/winter craft show season.  I love these word board/picture frame combos...and apparently so does eveyone else because I keep selling them before they get packed in a box.  I know, I shouldn't whine...Im' grateful in fact.

I promise to have a large selection complete for my shows so you'll have plenty to choose from.  If you have a particular phrase you want, don't hesitate to contact me so I can personalize one for you.

Sow and Tell Friday

Halloween is on the painting table...here's a sneak peek of a one of a kind project I'm working on.

New picture frames

I've been working on some home decor pieces for a spring show.  These pieces are 18" wide, include one or two frames, are painted, distressed, hung with pretty organza ribbon, hold 4"x6" photos, and have a nice sentiment with background on the sign. 

I'll debuting them at the "This and That Craft Boutique".  See the flyer below.

Show and Tell Friday

I've been pretty much in full wedding mode around here the last month....meeting with brides, weddings, and painting some doors for a her daughter's wedding.  I'm not always really good about getting photos of the flowers.  But I thought I'd share some of what I did get pictures of. 

Loved this tulip bouquet!  Had to add freesia to get the magenta color.

This bride had some fun, funky centerpieces with feathers and rock candy.

Another bride had blue and white (big Dallas Cowboys fan).

Forgot to get a picture of the bouquets...:0(

Grooms boutinierre

Father's boutinierre

Mother's corsage...love the blue thistle (it's soft, not pokey)

Silk centerpieces...hydrangia, rose, tulip

A friend's daughter is getting merried this month.  We painted some new doors to look old and worn and then I painted quotes on some of them.

What's with the fork?  Hint...the best is yet to come.

These and several others, many are plain will serve as backdrops around the room for the reception.

Happy Friday everybody!

A few Easter pieces

I finally made myself something new for Easter...this bunny. Originally, it was supposed to look like he was hugging the egg, but I think it looks like his body.  Anywho...I like him.  I may even make a pattern of him for others to create. 

I added this Easter egg picket fence greeter at last minute as well.  I cut the egg into three pieces, painted, shaded, and glittered.  Add some Spanish moss and an additional flower for dimension and..tada!  I like it.   This is another that will get put into pattern form.

Custom Painted Room for Morgan

My friend Vickie asked me a few weeks ago if I'd do some painting in her grandaughter's room.  I love Vickie so of course I said yes.  I spent two full days painting a free flowing design on her walls.  Vickie spent the whole day on day 2 hot gluing rhinestones to the walls.  She was a real trooper.  We also added butterflies to the walls.  It's busy but I love it...and more important...Morgan loves it. 

Morgan's room is as big as our master bedroom I think so there was lots of space to play with in this room.  I even added some below the chair rail.   

There will be a overstuffed reading chair to snuggle up in here.

A little personalization.

Faith, Love and Hope scattered around the room.

 A few more photos to share.
