As you can see I did not write the other day like I said I would. This pesky thing called "life" keeps getting in the way. I have finally found time to sit down in a quiet room to be able to blog. As I sit here I can hear Canadian geese fly over the house. The weather outside is getting cold, which is making me stay inside where it nice and warm, allowing me to working on jewelry. I have been getting many custom orders to do, like this Breast Cancer Awareness Necklace.
The next two trees are sun catchers that I made for two people who helped me out during Cans For A Cure in October.
These are another Christmas order. Red trees of life with a cardinals.
While I have been busy with Christmas orders, I have also been making displays for the Secret Garden where I sell my jewelry. I took an old picture frame painted it white then scuffed it to make it shabby chic. I then added wallpaper on the back where you would put the picture. I then dug through my drawers of knobs to find three antique glass knobs to hold and display my necklaces.
For my next display I went for a walk in the woods with my dog for Gracie.
I found branches the right size for my display. I cut them and brought them home.
I spray painted them white.
Next I had to go through my extra pieces of wood to find small blocks that were different sizes. I then sanded them down, nailed and glued them together. I then drilled holes in the tops for the branches to go in.
I painted them white, scuffed and wax them with clear wax.
The displays are now done for The Secret Garden.
Here they are in their new home!
I hope everyone one is having a great weekend.
