Sooo, I have this gate....


Sooo, I have this gate...
it has its own charm to be sure....


But then DecoArt sent me some really nice paint...
If you haven't tried it, do..
one coat, no kidding...easy application, beautiful texture, beautiful colors....
I'm already thinking about changing the gate to green..


I needed a pig for my gate, 
so of course I made one...


just because it's almost summer! :)
Happy Days...

May, thank goodness



Oh Blessed May!
I'm so happy to finally be warm!
It was a long winter for sure...
it has me in full swing thinking about my garden,
brimming to capacity with blooms!
I'm on ultra-cute mode,
I've got my garden palette all picked out
&
 I'm sharing some of it with you via
"Mistress Mary"


....which also includes instructions to paint these cute pins,
"How does your Garden Grow?"


And of course, to make things easy,
you can purchase the surface pieces, which includes some cute little shells for your convenience.
This piece can be hung or placed in a garden bed like mine is, you'll need to provide your own garden stake though...simple enough, right?
Any wood garden stake, approximately 1 1/2" wide x 1" thick x 15" or more tall.
Affix to the back of your finished piece with some E6000 & you're set!


I've also painted a pretty "Spring Time" necklace for a Packet
BUT...
it's only available with the purchase of the "Mistress Mary" Packet
if you've signed up for the 
So be sure to do that, you don't want to miss out....


ESPECIALLY on this!
15% off any order during the month of May 2018!
But only if you're on the 
you can  use it as many times during the month as you want to.


Wishing you a Happy, blossom filled May,
&
to all the different kinds of mommy's out there,
grandmommy's, young mommy's, thin mommy's, pudgy mommy's, mommy wanna-be's...
Happy Mother's Day

Christmas in April!!!...


Oh don't be mad!
Christmas comes quick!
I know...this is the last thing you want to hear about...your snow just melted, right?


Come on now....
a little head start is good.


You can order those wooden jingle bells early & get 'em off your plate.
Look for item #2128 at Bear With Us Inc.
They have lots of cool stuff to paint...


See how I think of you?
Lots of time to hunt for special sparkles & trims...




I'll work on something Spring now...
I promise. :)

Blogging Insanity...

Oh my! 
Time flies!
Didn't I promise to be better at blogging??
Luckily, Spring hasn't come & gone...
It's not even here yet...it's just lost it seems....
but, onward....


In the hopes of Spring showing up sometime this year, 
I've been painting little cubes & wooden hen eggs, 
visions of blooms & pastels, 
danced in my head...


If this selection doesn't get your mojo goin'....


I went with the 1" mini's & then a larger bouquet for each egg...


check out the white frosting side trim...


you'll need a "must-have" Ultra fine writer tip #DAS230C


Check out this variation...
I used the mini florals on these adorable bunnies, 
sent to me by a friend..


& as always...I've got a very competent "Quality Control" expert
close by...
all complaints can be sent directly to Richard...
(the girl)


Wishing you a soon coming Spring...
I hope....
