Busy Hands..

That's the way the last few days have been..doing things that you have to do to keep your household going and then working on things for the retreat...Plus 2 classes on Tuesday at the Crafty Scrapper....

Do you see the Gothic Arch Shrine??? I finally added beads and chains and trinkets to her..

Now she is complete.


These are NOT complete...

I was cutting and grinding glass for the above charms. Which by the way, will be available on Vendor night to those who were not lucky enough to get one for free...anyhoo..I was cutting and grinding glass, and the Muse takes over..cut some little stix she whispers in my ear..So, I did...and a few more to work on, Like I need something else..

Hope the bad weather that we have been having has not effected you too badly..we were literally on the edge of it yesterday...it stopped raining at the end of our road, and we just got a

Few sprinkles here at the Shop Shack...I hear others had tornado sirens going off and super downpours in their towns..

Off to put away MORE ONIONS...I swear..we have more than enough and he's talking of planting more this fall..

And a special thanks to the gals who came to classes on Tuesday!! We now have more soldering ladies out in the art world and some more alcohol ink addicts~ And thanks to Carolyn and Heidi at the Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie!!!

Happy Day to you ;)

Big Daddy Cantelope

He's already married, to me! These little babies have been coming out of the garden lately!

If you follow me on Twitter, you would know that yesterday I got nothing done in the studio.

I worked out in the shop all day, it was 110 degrees yesterday..what a day to work in a tin building....But, I'd made up my mind and was going to consolidate all the boxes from our move, LAST YeAr...We have boxes of stuff I don't want to use in the shop shack. But, I'm going to use when we get the real house built, so it's going to have to stay in boxes and the boxes have to go somewhere..and right now they are in the middle of freaking huge shop and there is not any room for anything else. So I pushed, pulled, dollied, and emptied boxes and re-stacked boxes in a corner, now we have more open space.

It didn't seem hot until I found a thermometer and hung it up, eeeewww shouldn't have done that..I got the biggest part of it done, it was hot, I was dirty, but it got accomplished. For the most part.

Big Daddy was impressed with my work when he came home..he even went out there after dinner and did his own work...but it was too hot~to do much more..Then the buttermilk pie was ready and we both had to eat a piece of that while it was still hot! yummy..I'd not made a buttermilk pie in along time, it was good~

Other than Paper Cowgirl stuff, this is on my table in the studio waiting on me:

This is a big version of what I've done on the dominoes...I did a faux finish to the background..collaged on the papers, painted the goodies and shadowed it... I would say it's about 12x8, it still needs something, and so far it's not let me know what that something is....

These 2 pictures are on a Formica sample:

That's copper on the back, I'm not happy with that, and rub-ons are still giving me fits..I'm happy with the front..

Thanks Shannon for letting me know about my spelling error yesterday :) as you said, I'm not a COLLEGE prof...lol..you can see I do COLLAGE alot more than I did college..lol..

Andreea! Don't forget about our challenge!!!remember??

Errands and cement work are on today agenda. The rest of the week the Grands are visiting..

Thanks for all the fun comments on yesterday's post! I love my faux work, and I'm glad I can do something that makes me happy and pays the bills!

Ya'll be good today!
