Fall is flying by!

Well, I sure hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did, but as expected....I ate too much! I am busy today trying to finish my Christmas decorating, cleaning and getting some orders finished. It seems I can never get ahead!

I am offering this neat old box for sale on here today. It is one of my favorites! I just love this design by Terrye French! The crow is giving the snowman a gift....the snowflake! I sprinkled it with German Glitter Glass and it is so cute! It is a nice larger size too about
10 x 7 1/4 x4 1/2. This is the last box like this....I have one more box that I am doing with a design that I like to do at least once each year then I am totally out of boxes! I need to go shopping! hee hee Unfortunetly, I have no time to fit that in right now! So that means I have no idea what will turn up on here next.....hopefully it will be something that you just love!

Have a wonderful day! Chris

I got some Goodies finished!!!

I just finished some awesome Christmas goodies that are going to be available to buy here on my blog. My favorite is the little red teapot! When I saw that in the antique store, it was just wanting to come home with me! I wanted to keep it for myself! The snowman is a design by Deb Richey, and is just so cute! I am not much of a flower arranger, but this pot has greenere, iced branches and some sugared candy in it. I didn't glue them in so you could put a tree or anything you want in there!

The little wooden paddles are made from a design by Terrye French. Originally intended for tags, I think these would make awesome tags on a special gift! You could also use them for ornaments or just a decoration!

Merry Winter! I just love how this book turned out. I have had it here on my work table for quite a while but never got to it until now. I was leary about it at first, it is a new design but I am so pleased with how it turned out! It even looks better in person because it is sprinkled with German glitter glass for a sweet frosty look! Everyone needs one of these on their coffee table but this one is one of a kind!

I was on a spurt of energy and have lots more neat things I am working on but got a little sidetracked with Erica this week. She is having some problems with her legs and feet so she has missed a couple days of school and has had to get some tests done. Hopefully everything will be ok, we just have to wait now for results!

Keep checking back though there is more to come!

My goodies didn't get far!

Sorry ladies but this little cutie was half finished when it was sold! I am trying to get one more tree finished but you know how it goes! I sent off a whole load of really great stuff to the antique store and totally forgot to take any pictures! I can't believe I did that considering I normally take pictures of EVERYTHING!


Last weekend I went up to my sister's house for a jewelry night. It was alot of fun. I made this bracelet and ONE bead!hee hee That bead took me longer to make than the whole bracelet! I don't know why I ever thought that a bracelet with beaded beads would be something I want to do! I love the way it looks, but that bracelet may not get finished until next Christmas!

The men all went off to deer camp this weekend so I got to spend time with Adam. We had fun but I didn't get much done. I told Mike that he will have to tie me to my painting chair next week so I can work! I did manage to find a few treasures though that I can't wait to paint! Sooooo I will be back in a few days! Chris

What am I working on???

I have been trying to get some things done up for a local antique shop that I am going to start selling my stuff in on November 1st. I am excited, I haven't really sold anything local for a few years now! I got a couple of these neat old boxes finished and one will probably go on here for sale and the other in the shop. The old lamp is actually only half finished. I am working on a neat battery operated candle to put in the center. I am priming it up right now. .

I have been making jewelry like crazy to go to the antique shop. It is a fun break from painting and I LOVE it! I love using little antique treasures in my jewelry! I have also been trying my hand at metal stamping and I love that too! Once I get the store all stocked up I will go back to listing a few things on here and on ebay. It just seems that there is never enough time to get everything I want to done!

This was an eventful week for me...I had to take Adam to the doctor and then the ER on Monday. Turns out he has an infection that was causing pain and swelling. He missed three days of school and has tons of homework but is feeling alot better now.

I have also been busy making halloween treats and getting things ready for Adam's school party. The little ones are all excited for Halloween. My kids don't trick or treat any more and don't want costumes either. I really miss that, I enjoyed maknig their costumes every year!


I even got to meet a friend of mine this week that I have known for a long time, but only through ebay groups, Susie of Yankee Lane Primitives. She was working in Columbia so my sister and I went up to have dinner with her. We went to Huhot, a Mongolina grill, and one of our favorite places to go. It was great, it seemed like we had known each other forever! The food was great, dinner came with a free salad and margaritas were only two bucks! You can't beat that!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!

Eeerie Halloween Moon!

Adam and I were on our way home and just had to stop for this moon shot! It was so cool with a mist of a cloud all around it and a bright full moon. There were no clouds out anywhere else in the sky except for by the moon.....the stars were shining bright......it was so beautiful! I think this picture would make a great halloween card...I may have to crop in some little trick or treaters!

Senior night!

Last night was senior night at Erica's ball game. It was also a night for cancer awareness at our school. At all the games, basketball, volleyball, and softball the players wore special shirts for cancer awareness. Erica's team has been affected by this through someone they care about very much. It was a very emotional night. This was their last home game so the seniors gave roses to their parents and there was a little ceremony. It was really nice. No one even cared that we lost the ball game by a ton of runs!hee hee

I know they are all looking at this score board wishing it were true!hee hee

Silly girls, they can never pose for a normal picture!

Happy Fall!!!

And boy is it starting to feel like fall here! The leaves are falling and the nights are cold! We had to shut the windows but haven't had to turn on the heat yet! I have a feeling that will be coming soon though.


Today I listed some new fall items on ebay. You can check them out by clicking on the link to the left. The first one is a neat rusty hoe end.....I just love these, so unique and primitive! The second one is a neat old black graniteware pot with a fall scene. Both are perfect for your fall decorating!


These will probably be the last of my fall items...I am anxious to start on some snowmen and some Christmas things. I always run out of time for those and only get to do a few things so I am trying to start earlier this year! I hope you will keep watching! Chris
