Working on a bunch of signs people ordered for Christmas. This is kind of a gag gift for a secrectary to go on her desk. I was really excited about this sign. It was for a family cabin and she wanted it to look rustic, so I painted the sign navy blue and then green on top. I sanded down areas to the...

More ladder fun. The only thing I really made was the fake slate. I had a chunk of wood in the garage from the remodel and painted it black & added the fake chalking. Rhett questioned the progression of info. Kids don't go from ABC to physics, but that was part of my plan. The chalk stick is a pencil painted white...maybe that...
Here is the finished photo frame. I was able to print photos from our trip to Italy in 6"x6" from winkflash.com. I attached them with electrical tape from the back so it gave an additional black edge. ...
This big project began with my Mom giving me these awesome bowls in the Spring. They are bright colors and this special plastic. My favorite feature is they have a rubber rim on the bottom so when you use a hand mixer, they stick to the surface and don't spin around. Anyway, I didn't have anywhere to store them, so they've been sitting...
For a baby shower gift, I painted a sign for a friend. I gave it without the sealant on it and with the option to add foot/ hand prints when she had her baby. She wanted the prints so we tortured sweet little Hallie for an afternoon and got her 1-month-old prints on the sign. I thought turned out cute, seeing the tiny...
We remodeled the bathroom this summer and I kept the two sections of a gross rotting window. I didn't know what to with the bottom pane but finally decided to make it a menu board for the kitchen. I used this sweet crackle media you paint on before the last coat, and I like it a lot. I bought 2 bottles when I...
Last summer I tried to sell signs at the Farmer's Market and Red Barn Festival here in Kirksville, but now it is just a hobby. I found I wasn't the best entrepreneur. It's all painted free hand, which explains the imperfections in you look closely. Family Sign Mix of different ones Patriotic For a child's room Family SignNursery--used actual foot/hand prints of the...
A friend at work has 4 pairs of pants she needed altered, basically replacing the waistband with more elastic. It is a quick, easy project and made me think of Lynette, my little sister who works as a tailor. I have a feeling she could give me some constructive critisism on the job, but it is turning out OK. My co-worker was saying...
