Don't you love this sweet illustration?
I ran across these pics of an altoid box I altered a while back
and thought I'd share them again....
Why?
I don't really know except that I really liked how it turned out.
And here's what I've been whittling away on ~
Between stuffing peat pots with eggs, tying bows,
keeping the laundry caught up and
making sure we all have dinner every night
it's been hard to make the time to get my studio in order.
What's so bad is that we've lived in the farm house now
since the middle of September!!!
Trying to fit all my supplies in this small room has been challenging
but I've had to be creative and use furniture in our bedroom and
in the guest room to store supplies as well.
Hello. My name is Dawn, and yes, I am a hoarder.
I ended up placing smaller pieces in front of the larger ones :)
They can easily be slid out to access the fabric.
Those two canisters on the floor in the pic below
have been spray painted and
have been spray painted and
I'm going to cover the bottoms with neat old paper....
Why I chose to tell you about those two things when
there are about one million items in the pic, I do not know! :)
I still have this wonderful trophy/urn looking silver lamp.
I want to spray paint the shade frame black and place
grommeted pieces of canvas in each of the panels,
maybe tied to the frame?
I'll get to it. Sometime. Soon too.
I'm still not finished....my sewing table is total chaos....
so is my desk and the pieces around it.
That little spice rack thing in the upper left of the photo below
is another project in the making...I washed the bottles, tossed the caps
bought some corks to fit in them ~ now to spray paint the rack and fill
the little bottles with something wonderful!
Oh yeah, another thing I hoard are peat pots!
How much stuff can YOU cram in one corner??
I've even crammed stuff in the big bird cage :)
I think I have a great idea how I can use this clippy thing.
What do you think about me hanging
all of my old cabinet cards on it??
all of my old cabinet cards on it??
My wonderful "Faith" banner gifted to me
by my sweet friend Lisa of Tarnished and Tattered...
You can see that I still have plenty of work to do but guess what?
Just this little bit of organization has gotten
me SO "in the mood" to create....
Now I just need to make the time to!!
Happy Wednesday precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
