Prepping for Christmas Bazaar

 


I did a little acrylic pouring on tiles for a base for these little christmas trees.
The tall narrow one will be glued to a board and the square 4.25" tile will be in a set of Christmas coasters. 
The coaster is not yet finished. It needs more green dots.



I
This is total fun, really.😊

Until later, Martha

Fork in the Road


Yes, our town actually has a giant fork in the road. Well, to be truthful, it is on the side of the road. We drove by it the other night and I have to take a photo. 
It is silver but the glow from our brake lights turned it to a beautiful glowing red.

Our claim to fame!!!!

Take care,
and enjoy

Dot Art Cross


I finished this cross!!
I bought the unfinished cross and gray painted board at Walmart
I added some blue paint and then finished the board with a satin varnish.
And the cross I painted black then did some dot art designs and finished with an epoxy resin.





I love the results!!!
Hope you enjoy.
I may be listing this in my Etsy Store soon!!!

A new year begins!!

 


With this new year I am finally getting back to my sewing and quilting projects. But, I am also still painting and putting together miniature kits!!! So much fun!

I love it. It turned out pretty good for my first cross painting!!


Hope you enjoy this beautiful day!!
Thanks for the visit.

It's been a rough summer and fall here!!!!



  This sweet little girl was sick starting in June and through the fall. She saw the vets frequently and only during a 10 hour focal seizure did we learn what was actually happening. 


She was diagnosed with Polycythemia and it was advanced. Now looking back I can see that she was having many symptoms.

The treatment would have been too harsh on this little 4 pound baby girl. I researched it, the vets both told me the same, as did the medical Dr. who I worked with for 24 years.

It still hurts my heart that we made the decision to let her cross that rainbow bridge. I was with her holding her to the end.

I cry daily and it's been over 4 weeks now. But I know we did what was best for her. She was getting so sick almost daily, no energy, would cry. 

Someday, when it's my turn to leave this earthly world, I hope God will allow me to be with her again along with the rest of my family.

I will see you later Dear Bailey, love you my girl 💓🐕💓

Shower Caddy plant hanger

 I am redoing a room in our house. It was mainly for the grandchildren. Now it is more usable for all of us. All the toys are in the closet, we have a nice TV in there, exercise equipment and a futon for guest sleeping.

I also wanted to put some plants in there, but how???

Below you will see the room transformation and more photos of the new plant hanger!!



Before photos of the room


I found paint for vinyl floors, It worked perfectly!!



So much nicer!!!




 I used a shower caddy. It has the spring rod so no nails needed. And it came with 3 baskets to safely keep plants in front of the window which is not only needed, but hard to reach because of the height of the window. This works perfectly and looks awesome too!!!

Let me know what you all think, I would love to hear from you!!!




Take care all and enjoy the day!!
