New twist on the wine bottles I recently wrapped with rope...

Added flowers (brads from office supply section) to the rope-wrapped wine bottle I have done...this really finishes them off! And on the first one I also added a bee! Cute for bud vases...

New "Park Your Purses While You Paint" contraption for studio

Old mirror frame from dresser, corkboard in middle covered with fabric (courtesy of my friend Laura) which we will hang customer pics, etc on; added hooks for purses to make this a functional and cool piece. It's really large...as are mine and Teresa's purses!

My first pallet project!!!

Used a pallet which our canvas shipment was delivered on. Pulling the boards off the front was the hardest part of this project, which took about an hour...really need to use a crowbar, but all I had was a hammer. Will post step by step directions later. Many thanks to Teresa Dixon who helped me do this! Without her, I would probably have had an emergency room visit. Or two. :-) 

Classier take on the gumball machine candy jar...

Small pot on sale at Kroger for $2.99, two terra cotta lids painted black, one small knob. Less than $10 with candy! Just a little nicer than using the terra cotta pot for the bottom...would make a nice gift for a friend or co-worker!
