Workbench

This week the workbench is filled with several projects.  I'm still dot painting!

Mugs...

Ornaments...

Another stack of signs...

And last, but not least, I made some bee skeps for the garden...

Happy Day, my friends...

My workbench

My workbench is full of signs to take to my craft booth at Buy the Season in Salem.  I will also be taking some with me to the craft show in Mayodan next month.  More about that later.  

These signs are made with scrap pieces of wood that Larry brought home for fire starters.  They proved to be a perfect size to put together for the farmhouse look that is so popular right now for decor.  I love the country look, don't you?

Be happy and blessed!

The workbench this week

This week's workbench....

Two sets of mugs and a decorative plate.

Hope your day is happy and blessed!

What's on My Workbench!

I have been happily creating some wooden hand painted mandala pendants this week. 

These are all ready to go.  I am not a jewelry maker, but I am enjoying this process.

There is something very relaxing about putting dots on a piece of wood.  Can't explain it.....But, so much fun!


Hope your day is happy and blessed!

At this time I am busy working on some Easter projects to sell at my booth in Salem. 

Here are some eggs I have come up with this year to add to my collection for Easter.  I almost sold all of my wrapped and painted eggs last year.  Just trying a new style this year.  I am pleased with the results.  Let me know what you think.

I also stitched up some carrots in muslin, painted them, tied them in little bunches of three.  We, after all, have to feed our little bunny pals.

I hope everyone is having a happy day!

Underground Railroad Quilt

This week I got the Underground Railroad top loaded into the quilting machine and started the quilting.  Hoping to get it quilted in a couple of days.  I'm using a pantograph design.  My mid arm machine can only handle about a 6" quilting area.  Boy, would I love to have a larger long arm machine.  They are quite pricey though.

Anyway...... here is what I have started.....

Happy Day to all!

Christmas in July

This weeks project is a Christmas wall hanging using machine embroidery redwork.  I love this nativity design.

I decided I liked the little 2" squares of white.  The sashing is a red fabric with small gold flecks.  Ready for quilting!

Happy Day to All!
