Coming Soon!

I apologize for my recent absence! Finishing up the end of the school year is always busy, and especially this year with the preparations for the baby! ...Have I mentioned that I'm pregnant?! I don't think so! Well, come August I will have my greatest creation ever! ;)

I've been working on these pieces, and am really on a roll! Some of these are finished as is, and a few of them still have one more piece to add. I will post pictures of those when I am done.
I've always been a huge fan of texture and have enjoyed experimenting with it! The pine cones are my favorites :D
This piece below is gorgeous as well.
I love the shape of the wood, and it's hard to tell in the picture, but the paint has a very iridescent feel to it.

Barn Yard!

Our friends, the Jablonski's, son Caleb celebrated his first birthday this Saturday! His parents wanted to give him a special gift for the special occasion, so they had us make this adorable stool to match his party and future bedroom!!!


Once again, if you are interested, the stools are $50 plus S&H, depending on where you live. Just shoot me an email!

We also threw a bridal shower for my friend, Katie, who will be getting married in June. As a little something extra, I made her this beautiful "panty corsage" for her to wear at the party. The great thing about this special flower is that she can take it apart and use the dainty little thong that it is made of!!! So fun!

Necklaces

Like I said before, I've got lots of projects going on!!! I was super productive today, and was able to make about 35 necklaces!!!
Now, these little cuties are double exciting because when you flip them over there is another design! They should go with almost any outfit you have since there are 2 necklaces in one!!!

They are not quite finished yet. I still need to solder them and add the chains, but the best part is done!

Murals

This weekend I was able to paint murals on two super sweet boy's walls. Little Jeremiah had adorable bedding with trucks, trains, and planes on it, so he was thrilled with his matching cement truck! :D
His big brother, Philip, got a football on his wall! His name is even hidden on the design!
As for this week, I will be finishing up a calligraphy project, painting a stool that Big A is almost finished painting, and making some necklaces for hostess gifts!

I have been a little behind at posting and really haven't been making much, but I will update with these next little projects!!!

just another manic monday

Today has been mostly spent by doing laundry, buying road trip snacks, getting Sookie's nails clipped, cleaning, and finishing up some projects!!! I can't reveal them yet, but this is what I've been doing for most of the evening.
My dinning room table has looked like this for a few days now. Now that I'm finished, it can go back to the beautiful table cloth and decorations that are usually on it!
We're leaving tomorrow for Louisiana, so I may not be posting for a while. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
