Personality disorder

My plan was to make one of those

wonderful paper wreaths I see here and there.

I ran into some "technical difficulties"
but didn't give up...

After a while I realized my wreath
wasn't going to happen as I had planned.
Too skinny.
Not full enough.

So my "wanna be wreath"
became sort of a
"confused star"

Too many rays for a star...
too few cones for a wreath...

After an hour I was over it!

I'll try again soon...

but first, I'll check out the
White Wednesday Girls,
they sure know how to make
a real Paper Wreath!

SOLD!

It's coming...

Slowly....

but surely.

Well, not really...
there is nothing slow
about it!

Christmas will be here
before we know it,
so I better keep working!

Have you

lately?


Sometimes,
it helps it to see them written
in black and white...

I'm enjoying the rest of the long weekend
I hope you are doing the same....

Happy Thanksgiving...

to all!

White Wednesday

I don't know if it was
the Christmas music at the mall,
the Christmas commercials every 2 seconds,
my fellow Dealers at Country Roads
or the wonderfully Christmas decorated blogs I visit
that have pressured inspired me
to start working in my Christmas merchandise
waaaayyyyy earlier this year....

I spent a couple of mornings
working on these stockings
and I'm really happy
with the way they turned out...

I ran out of the vintage white wool
I used to make them,
but I'm in the look out for some more!

I love this kind of projects
that I can do while watching TV.
A good movie, a basketball game,
cute supplies and I'm a happy girl!

UPDATE:
Yesterday morning went to Country Roads
to work on my Christmas display.
The stockings never got out of the box,
a sweet customer bought them all...
even the ones I haven't shown you gals yet!!!

(Too bad you can't see my happy dance....)

Fun Saturday!

Not even the bad weather
kept me away from Rita's place on Saturday's morning.
Her soldering class was something
I had been wanting to do
for a very long time.

I had the pleasure to spend the day
with 5 talented ladies
(I'm missing Pearl in this picture, sorry!)
and after some great coffee,
a delicious lunch
and lots of laughs,
we all went home with an adorable

soldered book...

a bubble charm....

and tons of inspiration!
Thank you Rita for teaching me,
I absolutely love my creations!

If you are in the Fallbrook, CA area,
don't miss Rita's classes.
For a complete schedule, visit HER site!

Still purging...

My downstairs closet received a
very needed purging...

As a result,
I reunited with this yummy fabric
that I absolutely love...

Just the perfect companion
for a little burlap...

and just enough to cover an old ottoman...

I took it to my space

and somehow I find myself smiling
every time I go back and realize
the ottoman hasn't sold...
I really like how it looks in my house
but I know I can't keep it...




Now, if it doesn't sell...
then...it's different
because at least I tried!
LOL!!

White Wednesday

To cover...

or not to cover?


Bought this 6-arm lamp
from my neighbor.
I wasn't in love with it
until I took it out of the box
and shot this pictures...

My idea was to re-cover each lampshade,
with some burlap,
or maybe some tan linen...

Just so they don't look so generic...

but I can't make up my mind.
What do you think??
To cover or not to cover
before selling it???

I know my Blogging Pals
will have the answer to that!!

SOLD!
(just as the picture shows it)

While I keep thinking about it,
I'll visit all the White Wednesday Gals....
