Hello again!!
Two posts in one day. No, I won't make up for the past year in one week...at least I don't think so but I do have some things to share. This is one of them. I painted this little shutter that I got from Goodwill. Not just any Goodwill but the "as-is" Goodwill store. I love it. I shop there often. So many treasures for so little money. If you have one anywhere near you and Charlotte, MI is too far away for you, then you just may decide it's worth the drive to find your closest one.
Anyway, I mostly used the free samples of Valspar paint that came from Lowes this spring. Did you see all the little tear out coupons in the magazines this spring? So many pretty colors. Plus, they had free little color flip charts. Fun, Fun, Fun.
I have made myself a promise, based on the quote I shared in my previous post that I will finish up a bunch of the projects that are in various stages all over the place. Some up in the craft room (which is still a project unto itself), some in the basement, and some in the little barns outside. Speaking of outside......there's a mountain of mulch with my name written all over it and hopefully it will be put where it belongs before June is through. I know-I may be pushing it. Lets see what happens After all, a girl can have dreams right?
I finally finished this little project. It kept bugging me. I got the wood a long time ago at a yard sale and thought "I could paint something on that"! It was just in my stash for a long time. Then I just decided to use it up. Now I have the bug again, must be the time of year. I'll post pics of what I got at the craft show at Cornwells and a side trip to Black Bird Primitives (one of my very favorite stores in the world). Hope you like it.
Here are three more projects I painted that I thought I would share. None are new but they are to my new blog! The first is a folk art crow with a star on a pineapple, second is an apple on a teaspoon with a green plaid homespun bow, and third are two tin tiles with flowers on them.
These are two pictures I did on screens. I did them quite a long time ago but I really like them still and I also really like to paint on screen because it's so interesting to see how it will look.
Well my friends, I've taken the leap and started a blog. My friend Mary has been urging me to for some time now and I just didn't think I had anything interesting enough to say that the world at large wanted to hear. I probably don't but the curiosity has finally overtaken my reluctance and so here we are. I will put some pictures on here of projects as they come along and new goodies I get from all my treasure hunts. November 13, 2010 was the Pig-In-A-Poke Primitives show. This year it was in Angola, IN. Normally it is in Nashville, MI. I got a few things. Two old cutting boards and a cute little handcrafted ladder to hang goodies from. What goodies I don't know yet but that's the fun part! My friend Melanie went with me and it was fun to introduce her to the world of Prim! It gave me the urge to make things...... The season is right for it too. So many ideas and so little time. Please let me know what you are making these days.
