Fall/Winter projects

I've been very lax about posting the blog lately, so I have some catching up to do.....first pic today is of a cute little stock pot with a simple "chicken soup" theme...adapted from an old "Farm Animals" book...not sure of the original designer...
This is something I adapted from a stitchery pattern from (I believe) Primitive Stitches....cute little reindeer....stitchery patterns are a great source of inspiration!!
A couple of little wooden plaques....adapted from a Renee Mullins candle pillar pattern
You can never have enough sheep....or reindeer....or both....
Cute little cat ornaments from a Cyndi Combs pattern.....a real hot seller at the shows this year!!

I am finished with my craft shows for 2011. It has been a very busy year as I added a few new shows. Check back for updates to the 2012 show schedule.....the only definites right now are Spanaway Lake HS the 2nd weekend in Nov and Winterfest Thanksgiving weekend 2012.....will also probably be doing at least one Funky Junk Sisters show, and one or two Country Creations shows....am also applying with Country Chicks in Rochester (love love love their shows!!) so 2012 looks to be a busy year too!!!

Check back with the blog for new products and schedule updates, or follow us on Facebook....am hoping to have some news regarding a new "enterprise" after the first of the year.....

First craft show of the season was a success!!

This pic shows my booth at the Country Creations show in Bellevue this weekend. Had a great show, looking forward to doing more shows with Sandy next year.
This is one of the new pieces I finished for the show. It is an old soup stock pot, done up in an adaptation of a Kim Klassen pattern.
This is from a Terrye French "Painting With Friends" pattern.....the wood piece is something I "rescued" from a building that was being renovated.....got a bunch of scrap pieces to "repurpose"
This is a little set of nesting boxes, done with simple little prim scenes...
And one last picture of my Country Creations booth.....I really really stuffed the booth as it was small....plus this is a "boutique" show, meaning I am not manning the booth and re-stocking as things sell, so I kind of have to "overfill" so open spots are not so obvious....

This show was a great success, so I am going to be painting like crazy to restock for my remaining shows. Next up is the Funky Junk Sisters "Junk Salvation" Vintage Flea Market Nov 4 & 5 in Puyallup. Will have lots of vintage "smalls" for this show, plus am working on a few painted furniture pieces.

Beginning with the Funky Junk show, I will be displaying a "Four Season" chair that I painted. I am raffling off the chair to raise money for a charity I work with, Pierce County Santa Cops. Tickets will be $2 each or 3/$5. It is a single chair with four different (removable) seats for the four seasons. I will display the chair and sell the tickets at all my Pierce County shows this year. Check back for pictures.

Back soon!!

Let the craft show season begin.......

Has been a while since I posted, so have several pictures....first is a Santa from a Terrye French pattern....this is done on a mink board, and the reverse side has a darling pumpkin and crow....not sure if I posted that pic on the blog or not.....
Next picture shows some of the snowman "army" I have painted up.....
I call these "mood blocks"......just turn them to reflect your mood for the day!!!
These are some cute little resin snowmen and Santa ornaments....from a Susan Kelley pattern from Artists Club
And last, our first class project of the year......little "ghostie gourds"....my dog loved these, she thought they were a play toy.......so very happy to be back painting with my "classmates"....I missed them!!

Had a chance to hit the decorative painting convention trade floor in Portland 2 weeks ago, got some great patterns and surfaces......plus this past weekend was filled with all the awesome sales and shops in the Chehalis/Rochester/Olympia area.....Country Chicks, Pole Barn Primitives, Deep Creek Barn, Country Shed....we hit them all!!! Have lots more goodies to "re-purpose"!!

My first craft show of the season is Country Creations at Vasa Park Resort in Bellevue, Oct 13-14-15. It is a boutique show, so I won't have to "man" my booth, just set-up, work one shift, and tear down.....

Second show will be the Funky Junk Sisters "Junk Salvation" show in Puyallup....so much fun!! Check out their website for ticket pre-sales for early entry!!

Lots of pictures today, since I haven't posted in soooo long!! First is a cute little canvas in a simple wood frame, adapted from an older Kim Klassen pattern....I sooo miss her designs!!
Next is three square plaques, adapted from a Sue Allemand ornament pattern
This piece is from a Deb Antonick/Terrye French pattern...I'm planning to do a Santa or snowman on the reverse to make it a 2 season piece.
Love this guy!! This is "Spooky and Friend", also from a Deb Antonick/Terrye French pattern, done on an old cast-iron griddle pan.
And finally, another little canvas adapted from another Kim Klassen pattern. I have also done this pattern on an old book. Very simple and serene.

Prim kitchen

Just finished this cute little coffee pot.....adapted from a Terrye French pattern, it matches the candle keepers I posted previously.....this side has a darling little crow...
and this side has a pear and a prim little sheep!!! Add in a penny rug on the top, and it makes a wonderful primitive accent for the kitchen. Can't you just imagine it sitting on your countertop?? Hmmmmm....this may have to come live permanently in my kitchen.......

Santas Santas everywhere!!

Found these cute little "troll" Santas at a garage sale a while back.....they are adorable....because they are so small, I just painted them with a simple red and green palette....nothing fancy.

Have family visiting so will be a few days before I post again. Be sure and check our or Facebook page too!!
