Quick Update

Every time I have a craft show coming up I become totally closed off and focused on making and getting things done. Here are some of the new things I have been working on

My funny little gnomes - I cant get enough of them....making them for every holiday... I sold all of my St. Patrick's Day Gnomes and have a smaller version for Easter - that I'll share later...

Here is a shot of my Valentines Day Gnomes and some fun string art 

Here are some of the new albums I made

Hello Kitty

Here is another motivational chip board album filled with sweet uplifting sayings

Some new string art - which I love.

My most favorite new design is this sweet little GNOME - I am in LOVE with GNOMES maybe even a small obsession.

A new cruise ship album out of some fun new chipboard shaped pieces

another super fun shamrock string art piece...

Also I got a little side tracked by a visit from these 2 - my oldest son and his baby girl came to visit and well that just threw me out of my crafting zone. But totally worth it...this is a photo of all my kids and grandbaby!

and in case you were wondering what I show I was prepping for  - here it is!!!

Please stop by and visit me please.

Happy Crafting

New things to share

Hello thanks for stopping by today - I wanted to take a minute a share some new bits I have been working on . I know I shared some string art I started making awhile back and here are the newest pieces for the Spring season.

I am in LOVE with deer heads and had to try one with string and guys I think this came out FANTASTIC...I added some fun little pink paper flowers around its crown to finish it off.

Another obsession I have been having lately are GNOMES - not only am I sewing them up but now I tried them with string and eeekkk....i am so in love with these cuties.

To finish this off - I made a special one for this months holiday - ST. PATRICKS DAY!

I painted on the word to finish this baby up.

I cant wait to make more of these and add them to my mantel...

I am on my way to add to them to Instagram and then list them in my shop...

Hope your week has been the craftiest ---

Be back soon 

Hugs and more hugs

Trying something new

Thought I would try my hand at a new form of art - and since I'm goo goo for string art - I thought why not...looked on Pinterest for ideas and since I'm doing a show in "Horse Country" I thought this image was perfect!!!

I love the way it came out! Made another one too

Sweetness - I think I found a new art I love😀 happy. Crafting!

Colors

Been crafting a bunch this past week & after close inspection I have noticed a trend in my color choices - 

Can't blame me right? I mean these colors just scream HAPPY!!! 

These all have been listed in my etsy shop in case you just have to have it 😀

Happy crafting!!

String art

To be truthful - I thought this was going to be a no brainer. Something I could do while watching t.v. Boy was I wrong. The premise is simple the idea looks easy but when you are working on such a small space with nails so close together keeping the strings close to the base of the nails is necessary to keep the alignment looking right all the way around the piece. Well, I tried it twice and it can be even better so I will go again for my 3rd try...here are my first attempts - skull head ( the nose is a bit wonky) 

Then I tried a ghost - a bit better but still need to capture the face a bit better

I think I need a larger working area---or a bigger face 😃

Here they are right next to each other. I like them but I need to try it again. To get the face 

Poking just right. Hope you give this a try and good luck with your Halloween decorating! I am linking this up to the parties above. 

Have a crafty week!
