 And more Americana....this is a pie basket painted with a Shara Reiner pattern.

Simple little Garden signs.....

Winter projects

 Has been a long long time since I posted :(
Have been crazy busy with craft shows and work.....but lots of pics to make up for lost time....first is a basket with a darling little winter scene.....not sure of the designer, was a class project....I believe the pattern was out of PaintWorks magazine

 Next are some cute little canister-style ornaments, Cyndi Combs pattern....painted three sets (12 total) and they all sold!!

 Snowmen pattern by the uber-talented Deb Antonick....used her new stencils for the details....painted the ornies first and has so much fun, I had to paint some candy dishes to go along with them!!

 I love to paint on vintage suitcases, and I love Mary Jo Tuttle's Santa Claus patterns.....a perfect pairing!!

 Another Cyndi Combs pattern...cute little snowies, gingers and Santas

 More Mary Jo Tuttle Santas, ornament size

 I love to paint signs and this is a fave....from a Kim Klassen pattern

 And another KK sign......

 Some simple little marble magnets I painted...after I took the pic I realized the snowman face was upside down :)

 A little sheep on a nite light cover......

 These are from a Sue Allemand pattern...original was painted on bottles, I adapted to wood....

 Took a SNOW stencil and added a Cyndi Combs snowie face......

 Adapted from a Barb Jones/Snow Jobs pattern.......

 Cute little sled ornaments, adapted from a Lori Cagle/Artists Club design

More Cyndi Combs snowies.....she is a new favorite!!

 And of course, I have to do Renee Mullins.....love these kitty cats......the middle one went home with my friend Marie.....

 And another one of Renee's patterns, on a vintage briefcase.....

 And another Mary Jo Tuttle Santa design, adapted for this nite light cover

Found this simple little architectural piece at a garage sale....and it just screamed snowman at me.....I think he turned out well......

Be sure to check out my Facebook page (Primworks) and Pinterest boards (Primworks by Cyndy McBride) for more pictures.....

I am hoping to set up an Etsy page to sell some of my pieces later this year....watch for progress reports on that.....

Happy painting!!

HOOT 2012

 Has been a busy summer!!  Just got back from a week in Columbus, OH for the HOOT painting convention.  Had a wonderful time and took some great classes from awesome teachers.  Today's pictures are of the projects I completed....first one is a paddle with an adorable Santa and bumblebees, taught by the wonderfully humorous Sandy LeFlore...

 Next is a "cupcake box" with a Santa and reindeer, taught by Debby Blair....not sure what I am going to do with a cupcake box, but I liked the Santa :)

 This is a paint brush holder with "Peter Peter" taught by the awesome Barb Jones....love love LOVE her patterns....this was the first of two classes I took from her

 Next up is a paddle with a harvest design, taught by the Northwest's own Maxine Thomas (a fellow Washingtonian)....still need to antique it, but I just loved this piece

 Another Sandy LeFlore design....I am not much for flowers, but this was pretty fun to do...bottom has a chalkboard area.

 My second Barb Jones piece....is painted on a glass brick and can be used as a nightlight....can think of lots of other pieces I can use this design on.....

 This is from a class taught by the very prolific Laurie Speltz.  Very funny lady.  Can't say I am a convert to her way of stencilling almost everything, but I can see its usefulness with the background areas.....class taught with Chris Haughey from Cupboard Distributing.

Final pic is of the project taught by Chris Haughey.......bird and holly basecoats were stencilled, free-handed the rest...again, not a convert of the stencil thing, but still a good class and I like how the birdie turned out.

Hope to have my calendar updated soon.....working on lots of stuff, and have several shows planned for October/November.  Should have another Painting With Friends design finished soon (a cute pumpkin design) so watch for that on the PWF site, or check us out on Facebook (www.facebook.com/pages/PrimWorks).

Are You Ready for Funky Junk??

The Funky Junk Sister's "Junk Salvation" show is this coming weekend in Puyallup. Over 90 vendors selling all kinds of awesome "junk"!!

If you are going, be sure and print off the $1 off coupon on the right side of the blog...

Today's pictures are of a few things I finished over the past couple of weeks for the show (haven't been painting much because I was redecorating my family room.....)

All the signs are painted on slats from old wine crates.....one of my favorite surfaces!!






The other pic is a great old Barb Jones "Snow Jobs" pattern of a little "Yankee Doodle" snow baby.....I couldn't resist painting just one snowman.......

Keep checking back for exciting changes to the blog....we are also looking at doing a regular website to give our customers a chance to order direct without waiting for a show!!
Many thanks to my son-in-law Scott for all his hard work.

Picked up some great stuff this weekend when we went exploring in the Olympia area. Love Wisteria Cottage and also look forward to their sales!!

Time to get back to painting!! See you at Funky Junk!!
