Sweater Stocking

I made this Christmas stocking out of an old felted sweater and added upholstery fabric so it would keep its shape better.  The back is leopard and it is 32" tall.  The top of my fireplace mantle is 6' off  the floor so you can tell how big it is.  Fill 'er up, please!  P.S.  You can see a little bit of my favorite Bible Scripture I painted on my mantle, John 20:27.  I painted it to look somewhat like it was "carved" in the cast stone.

I received my gift-Fairy Wishes!!!!

Wow, I was so excited yesterday when I came home and there was a package waiting for me.  It was from Charlene Gray of myheartsease.blog.  She had posted on her blog that I had won a giveaway for being her 100th follower.  This little "Fairy Wishes" is so cute and the color palette is mine.   I know she made it-I've seen her blog and know she is very talented.  I can't wait to meet her in person and give her a big hug!  

Somebody save me!

Please somebody save me from keeping this fabulous French armoire! I want it....but where oh where would I put it? See at Bloom and Bee Swanky.

Storage!

Love this antique spool cabinet. Once again, Hubby had to rebuild!

A Whiter Shade of Grey

Another project for Open House at Bloom and Bee Swanky. This is French triple dresser/chest before and after. Hubby had to rebuild before I repainted. A very very pale grey/white.

White Elephant

So busy getting ready for Bloom and Bee Swanky's Holiday Open House. For details see www.beeswanky.blogspot.com. One of my projects was this old earthenware elephant table. I just love it now that it is all white! Can't wait to see it in place in the shop. I'll post photos later this week of the shop after it is all dressed and ready!

Ode to a Boston Terrier

Recently painted this large painting modeled after our Boston Terrier, Bulgier. He's been gone 10 years now and we still miss him. The painting does not lie, his eyes went in the opposite direction. But he had such soul. You Boston Terriers lovers out there know what I'm saying.
