New Hand Painted Rooster Case

Hi Everyone it's been a really long time since I posted anything. My sister was here visiting me for two weeks. We had a really good time shopping and going out to lunch. We also just sat around a lot and talked and looked at photos. I also have great news that my husband and I are going to be grandparents for the first time. My daughter is due the end of July. Her and her husband are very happy. They have been trying for a long time. Everything seems to be going well. They are having a boy Ethan Robert. So of course I'm planning a shower. While my sister was here she helped me make table decorations and favors. It's been a fun time!!! I did manage to get a little painting in this past week. I have had these cases that I bought months ago and I finally got them painted. I painted this rooster on a small light weight case. Of course it's a Terrye French design. I love her designs. I have it listed on Ebay.Well I'm hoping to get more painting done these next few months. I hope you all have a Happy Easter. Denise:)

New Easter Tree!!!!

Hi Everyone!! It has been awhile since my last post. I have had a lot going on. I was sick for a few weeks with a bad cold. I'm so glad I'm over that!!! Then two weeks ago my husband and I were in a car accident. We were stopped to let the car in front of us turn and a car came up behind us and rear ended us very hard. Thank goodness we were in our big van because it would have been a lot worst if we were in our car. Unfortunately I had bad back and neck pain. I couldn't sit for long to paint. This week I'm feeling a lot better. All is back to normal!!! Well that is enough about my problems. I did manage to get two Easter trees done last week. I painted small teak wood bowls that I had purchased at a flea market last year. The 18 inch feather trees fit in them perfectly. I have it posted on Ebay. Well I hope this will be a drama free week for me. My sister is coming from NJ next week to visit me for two weeks. That will be a lot of fun. I told her I would put her to work painting!! She is an artist also. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week. Denise

New Primitive Spring Bunny Tree!!!!

I finished another bunny tree today. I painted part of a new design by Terrye French. I just listed it on Ebay. I think I will be working on more signs tomorrow. I'm going to try to move at a faster pace before Easter is here. Easter is on April 8th this year. That is also my middle sons birthday. So we will be having a double celebration!!! Well I hope you all have a great rest of the week. Denise

New Bunny Tree!!!

Hi Everyone!!! I can't believe its going to be Valentine's Day already!!! I have been away from my painting table for awhile. We had some family visits and last week my daughters mother in law died suddenly. So we have had a lot of things going on. In the middle of it all I came down with a cold. I really didn't need that. So I finally was able to get something done. I made this bunny tree for the spring. I had a lot of fun making the cute salt dough ornaments for the tree. I cut out carrots, bunnies, and cute little baby chicks. I painted and sealed them. The design I painted on the front of the box is a Terrye French design. The tree stands 27 1/2 inches tall. Well I'm going to try to get a lot of painting done in the next few weeks. My sister is coming from NJ for a two week visit in March. She is an artist also so I told her I might be putting her to work while she is here!!!! I have the bunny tree listed on Ebay. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Denise

New Items I have been working on!!!

New Pink Valentine Tinsel Tree!!!!!

Well January is sure moving by very fast!!! I'm still moving very slow. I just can't get it in gear. I start painting and the next thing I know I'm up doing something else. I have to stop playing Words With Friends!!!! I did manage to get another Valentine tree painted yesterday. This one is with a pink tinsel tree. I also made some salt dough hearts to hang on the tree. I painted them in different pastel colors and sprinkled them with lots of glamour dust. I have it listed on Ebay. I have a few different surfaces that I want to get painted. I have a new angel book by Terrye French. It has a lot of adorable designs in it that I would like to do. Thanks so much for coming by to visit and I hope you have a great week.

Happy New Year!! New Valentine Red Tinsel Tree!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! It was a very busy season for me this past Christmas. I have surely neglected my blog. One of my New Year's resolutions is to post more on a regular basis. I finally got back in my workroom this week. It took me about a day to get it straightened out.  I was going to skip Valentine's day and just move on to Spring and Easter. When Christmas was over I had received a few request for some Valentine trees which I had never done before. I finished one up yesterday and I was pleased with how it turned out. I painted a cute design by Terrye French and Deb Antonick on the front of this wooden container. The tree is a red tinsel tree. I attached some glittery pink and red hearts and clay dough candies with sayings on the front. I have it listed on Ebay. Well that is all for now. We are going to BBQ today. My husband received a large smoker for Christmas from our children and he is going to try it out. So the whole family is getting together. It better taste good!!!! I hope you all have a great week!!!
