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!!!

Gallery 116 class

Tonight was another fabulous mixed media class at Gallery 116. Marley, Julie, Sherry, and Lori enjoyed a relaxing night away from work, kids, husbands, and school! They left with some awesome artwork, too! Take a look!!!

***Contact me through email if you are interested hosting a home mixed media party for your and your friends!!! It will be a night of food, fun, and creation!!! Each guest will leave with their own unique artwork on an 8x10 canvas!

LSU Stool

For a Christmas present, we made this ADORABLE LSU stool for one of Big A's Louisiana friends. I have to admit, it may be one of my favorite stools!!!

How cute are these paw prints on the side!!! Carson loves using his stool!!!!

***Custom stools only $50!!! Email me today to make an order!***

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!

New Year Resolutions

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful celebration of our Savior's birth! What a joyful season!!!

I am so sorry for my lack of updating. The end of the first semester is always a busy one. This year, however, was easier that past years, and I've actually been creating during my Christmas break!

Big A and I were able to finish many Christmas orders, which included 2 aprons, 2 stools, a scarf, and a plaque painting! Here is my friend Susan Jablonski's mother in law in her apron! She looks adorable in it!!! Yay!!!

I will have pictures of the other products soon. I am also working on some necklaces and charms in addition to my aprons so I can hopefully get them to Gallery 116 soon!

This week we are leaving for Big A's family's house in Louisiana. We are spending New Years with them, so I thought I would go ahead and post some of my resolutions for 2010!

*Get my Etsy page up and running comfortably.

*Sew and make aprons, onsies, and other fun things!

*Create unique charms and necklaces.

*Make more growth charts, door hangings, and name designs.

*Create more journal pages, experimenting with new styles, mediums, and techniques.

*Convince Big A to get me a YuDu home screen printing system!

*Finally get a booth at the Freedom Festival, or any other Art Fair. I've been wanting to do this for years!!! I just need to make enough inventory to justify the fees! :)

*Do as many art workshops as possible...there are places in Tennessee and Washington that I would love to go to!!!

*Do a Give Away to boost more readers on this blog!!!

Well, those are my crafty goals!!! What are your New Year Creation Resolutions?
