Quick one for today...anxious to get to the crafting table!

I just listed a few new things on my Etsy site, and will be listing a few more tonight. Check um out!

On another note, I've recently been working with my "found" objects, but I've had the itch to do some painting, too. I haven't done a real, actual painting in several years. I picked up a couple of stretched canvases last weekend, now I just have to decide what to paint....any ideas?

And lastly, if you have never tried these before, you must run out to the store and get some. They are fabulous, and I don't even like almonds!

New projects...and new doggie!

So, I've been working on some new crafts lately, the past few times I've been in my local Goodwill, I've found some pieces that have really inspired me. In particular I found a whole bunch of copper and tin baking dishes. I have one on my Etsy website already (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20993151) that's in the shape of a lobster, but I found others in shapes like melons, hearts, fish....lots of different ones. I can't wait to get these finished and up in my shop, I think they're great!


On another note, I have just adopted a new addition to my family. Say hello to Eva!

My first blog!

Yay, I'm finally here!

As this is the first post to my new blog, I would like to say that I am very excited to finally be doing this. I've been creating and crafting my whole life, and to actually have an outlet where I can share my work with everyone just thrills me.

I've set up a brand new work area at my home, which makes it so much easier to find time to work on my crafts. Being able to spread out and not worry about cleaning up the mess is so nice. I love not having to monopolize the dining room table!

I've just started my etsy business; I only have a few items listed so far, but many more are in the works. After visiting several thrift shops over the weekend, I have about 20 pieces that are now in the works, and will be finished soon.

I'm mostly painting objects right now, but I may start making some pillows, as I just found some of the most adorable fabric that I'm really excited to work with. But we'll see, I'm really trying to focus on the painted pieces right now.
