I can't believe its been a whole week without posting anything here - its been crazy busy! I have wrapped up some projects and started some others. This evening I finished my very own version of "plaque attack" and used some graphics from the Graphics Fairy that I got here. They didn't turn out too badly. I also decided, while Mr. Biff was at a meeting and dinner was simmering on the stove, (don't I sound like a marvelous multi-tasker?...hee,hee if you only knew) anyway, I also decided to try my hand at covering a lampshade since Amanda at Beloved Rubbish made it look so easy. It wasn't too difficult but I will definitely need to do a few more before I could consider giving them away or selling them. I will post pics of the plaques and the lampshade tomorrow. I've got this great candlestick wooden lamp to paint white and plunk my newly made lampshade on - I think I will keep it.
Vacation for the week is going to be spent working on projects and redoing a few rooms in the little rental house. Need to refresh our style and make some room - too much clutter! I will try to remember to take some befores and afters. I also really want to make some jewelry - I got some great new crystals that are just begging to dangle from someone's ear! I also have a few frames to make some earring holders - my good friend Sherri sent me a picture tongiht of the one I made for her loaded with her amazing earring collection - this gal is stylin' big time!
It was a very simple thrift store frame ($1) painted black with bronze netting stapled onto the back. I like the netting as it gives an almost transparent (like the earrings are hanging on nothing) illusion.
I hope you will follow along with me this week - Mr. Biff's camera turned up and is working so I have many photos to share! Tomorrow is Saturday and what is Saturday - Garage Sale Day! Whahoo, hope you have a good night and see you tomorrow out in the neighbourhood,
Blessings,
Peg
