feb 26 - we’re gettin’ there!

feb-25-26-026.jpgtook a large part of my morning off, but managed to make a giant clothespin bunny photo holder.  i’ll get it over to the etsy shop by noon today, promise!!  there’s also a sheepie who will make his/her appearance later, too!  these clothespins are great for holding pictures/ photos, recipe cards, paperwork, greeting cards… a sweet addition to any easter basket!

this month should be called “calendar a day!” woo!

  feb-18-035.jpg   another!!  this is another new design, i used paper hot off the presses!  again with the scalloped edges, feb-18-036.jpg   i LOVE the delicate pink flowers on the number blocks!  i may end up re-working this one, there’s something about it that doesn’t flow for me, but that’s just my opinion.  this might be just perfect for someone else.  it’s new in my etsy shop right now!

happy valentines day, or, we’re almost halfway there!

red! paint! on drawers!feb-14-010.jpg

painted these drawers and 3 more of their friends, and the chest they reside in at work.  (i love my job!)  red is a tough color to work with.  not only is it blaringly obvious when you get it on the carpet or your clothes, it takes MANY coats to make it not look streaky.  i’m not sure if it helped or hurt that the paint itself is probably at *least* 6 years old.

i left the mess for christy to tend to when she gets in this a.m….. well, the paint wasn’t dry yet!!  (hi christy!!)

another day, another perpetual calendar! - 11

feb-10-015.jpgand only now i realize that it is showing the wrong date.  but i’ll get over that.  this one has a travel theme, with airplane paper base, map papered months, and directional arrow numbers.  the color scheme is pretty, but not too feminine.

feb-10-017.jpg  i’ve got my act together today, and i’ve already listed this one on etsy!  =)
