  • Giving Wherever We Are

    On my other blog, I am doing a 22 day Miracles and Gratitude Challenge based on the idea that noticing more miracles brings more miracles. It’s working. Being grateful for things, is making me feel grateful for other things and noticing miracles is helping me see more miracles. All that noticing prompted me to write…

  • Craft Fair Day

    Today was the day of the craft fair I’ve been telling you about. I stayed up late last night, finishing some things, then was up early to pack my truck. The venue itself was very nice. It was held in a local events center and we were in a big open gym, which meant lots…

  • Pretty Foam Petals

    A few weeks ago, I got some huge pink foam flowers on the online auction. I thought I’d use them as decorations on the tables in my craft fair booth. Instead, I cut them up. I already showed you one of the pieces I made, so I thought I’d show you two more I’m working…

  • Junk Jewelry Love

    Yesterday I decided to try something a bit different. I had bought a giant pink foam flower at an auction and was trying to find something to do with it. As I normally do with necklaces and things, I took it apart, ha ha. Then, I glued it on a canvas and added the word…

  • Makeover Vintage Style

    I’m so thankful for this blog. I love art and making stuff. I love writing, too. On my other blog, I write. Recently, I’ve been stumbling around in writer’s block. Ugh! So, this blog is especially nice, because I can simply make art. Yesterday I worked on craft fair stuff and I thought I’d show…

  • Paper Plus Jewelry Art

    Today I’m taking a break from painting. I did a quick decoupage project on a piece I’m going to take to the craft fair. So, I thought I’d show it to you. I bought this mail holder at our local farm store. It’s new, but looks vintage. It had some scratches on it that I…

  • Painting

    With the craft show only three weeks away, I’ve been painting. In fact, I’m writing this post with paint all over my hands. Ha ha. Earlier this morning, I separated out what’s been painted and is ready for decoupage and what still needs painted. The ‘still needs painted’ pile is definitely bigger. But, I’m making…

  • Craft Show Projects

    Hi! I thought I’d share what I’ve been working on this past week. I got some fun new stuff as well. There’s less than a month until the October craft fair, so I have been trying to get my ideas started and going. My go-to art for craft fairs is paper mache trinket boxes. I…

  • Fifty Miles for Art Supplies

    This morning, I flew out of bed when I suddenly remembered that I had been to the craft store last night. The past few weeks, I’ve been “mid-project” in several things with no supplies to finish them… Why? Well, for me, a craft store is quite a commitment. 50 miles, that is. Round trip for…

  • October Art Show

    Saturday I filled out and sent in my application for a local Arts and Crafts Fair put on by the Women’s Civic Club. If you’re new around here, I wrote about how I found out about their show last October and how I was soooooo scared to call to see if they had any booths…
