VBS starts on Monday night at church and today was Family Fun Day. I ventured out to that and went to visit with Mother and then to craft shop to pick up more paint. I did manage to get a few items finished in the craft room this week and it makes me feel good. I don't have to remind you, I need photography lessons, and I do not have much wall space in my home to hang so hanging items are just placed randomly to get a picture
Thanks to Dawn and Amy, I combined both their talents and inspirations and came up with these 2 darling items. Thanks ladies for sharing your photos with me.
I love how they turned out. Got the two old vintage baby slips at Grannie Fannie's last week when I got my new chairs. Forgot to take a before picture. I attatched the old baby photos so that they can be removed if someone wanted to put their own baby's picture in. I want to make one for Darbee Rae. Holly has one of her little slips.
These amber bottles with "witchy " sayings have always sold out at the craft show.This year I am out of "beer" bottles and this is all I have. Since no one in our house drinks, and most of hubby's buddies drink beer from cans, there is a bottle shortage in the craft room. Mr. P works for German company and these were German beer bottles they saved for him.
Can't chose one holiday over another so here is the first Santa I made from the pattern Kim sent a few months back. Still have to put something else in his arm, just haven't decided what I want to use yet.
Yes, I am keeping Mr. P. busy in the wood work shop also.(smile) This is a bench that he made from 2 old doors. It turned out great. No,,, it's not for me this time but for the craft show.in September. It is NOT finished as he still has to distress it and remove the shine. It definitely show up lots more shiney than it is. Guess he can't take pictures any better than me, huh?
Well, I had more things to finish and share with you, but Mother Nautre decided to bless us with storms and rain this afternoon, so maybe soon I will have more goodies to share,.
So glad you decided to stop by this weekend and say hello. Look forward to chatting with you all. Take care okay, and we will talk again real soon
Yup...I want one of the screens! Will have to pull out Darbee Rae's slip. Love all of your goodies and tell Daddy I LOVE the bench...I need one on my carport! Ha! Love ya.
ReplyDeleteWonderful items Angela! I especially like the bottles ... wherever did you find the labels? I am always looking for old looking labels like, & tags too, but never have any luck finding them. Your hubby is quite the talented guy in the workshop : ) Blessings, Shirlee

Aren't those slips fun to make? You can do any old verse on them and attach anything you want! By the way, I started "This Old Rocking Chair" stitchery - thanks, I love it! Have a great weekend, Dawn

Love the slip, wish I could send you some bottles! That bench is wonderful. I have seen those and thought that I needed them, but when I show them to JWS he changes the subject. Can anyone tell me why we had to buy those woodworking tools?

Angela, that bench is so neat! You are so lucky to have a handy man for a hubby! This could be another one of those pie baking experiences.
