HAPPY NEW YEAR!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This time of year always brings on a renewed sense of wanting to do the 'undone', finish the 'unfinished' and find the 'unfound'... this year instead of being focused on all the 'uns' in my life, I am going to focus on all the blessings and gifts the Lord has given me AND use those gifts for his glory. This change in focus will allow for less feeling of stress and more feeling of an enriched life when I use what the Lord has given me and focus on those unending blessings! 

I hope all of you have a Blessed New Year!

Painted NAME Designs


The whole sign craze is going strong. So I thought why not do a watercolor Name sign for my nieces!
 The "Marianne" sign is more simple with the letters, bringing in some fun with a floral design...

The "Fiona" sign, I went with a patchwork design for each letter because my nieces bedspread is a country patchwork design.

It's a fun decoration for the wall and it's a nice alternative to the wood designs that could be too rustic for some rooms. 

Put it in a frame and hang it on your wall.
It is as easy as that!

Interested... give me a ring ;)

Family name Sign



My husband and I were going to his cousins wedding and I got a little creative for their gift. Using a pencil, stencils (made out of printed letters), outdoor paint and a natural wood stain we had a great gift! 

My favourite part was that the wood was from my husband (and his cousins) great aunts property on Lopez Island, WA. It is a piece of history because that is where the family immigrated to from Scottland and it is the last piece of land still in the family past down from three generations.
My husband and I treasure that land for the memories it has given us... we started going there on day trips when we were dating and have gone back every year for camping trips after getting married. Even our oldest boy as had the camping experience there! What get memories! Hopefully are youngest can enjoy it next year with us. :) 

The GREATEST part was they loved it!

Paint By Number!!!



Sometimes I want to paint but don't have the inspiration or energy to put into it. I found this paint by number at Tuesday Mornings for $8.00 and had to give it a try! 
The paint by number art came out in 1951 by a engineer by the name of Mx S. Klein, who also owned detriots Palmer Paint Company. The box sets sold millions of kits and was deemed Art for the Average Man. 
Lots of fun but a little time consuming. If you feel like you are not an artist then find one of these great projects! Great activity and a pretty awesome result at the end... guaranteed!
