Hello from sunny Brisbane, well it was earlier!
The past couple of days DD and I have been busy painting some of the many pieces of furniture I have!



Did I ever mention I love candle sticks

You can use them in so many ways, on their own, as a pair or a collection of 3 in different sizes.

I have over the last few months been kicking myself because many years ago when I used to enter floral art competitions, I used to have several pairs all made from wood and different shapes and sizes. But when I stopped competing I sold them and now I'm finding it very hard to get any here in Australia that are a reasonable price.

I've also been finishing a few projects .....

these tea cup pin cushions needed flowers

And so did these egg cup pin cushions

And somebody else didn't want to be missed out, Pop wanted to show her headband, doesn't she look sweet? it didn't stay on for very long!

Till next time
Happy crafting

I've been busy,

Saturday gave me an unexpected day off work, so I had time to go to some garage sales something I don't get chance to do much these days.
On checking the paper though I was a little disappointed as there didn't seem to be many listed, but hey hoe I just went to those and did find some little treasures.

The little bonbon dish I'm going to see how it cleans up and if it's not to good I'll paint it, the 2 candle sticks also need a paint and I have some lovely crystal drops to replace the ones that are missing, and finally the tissue bow cover will have some rose treatment.

Do you see the piano stool? I also picked that it up while at the garage sales,  it needs a new bottom and top and I'll pad the seat. The pedestal table I've had for a while and the small coffee table I acquired from another source, all have been sanded and are waiting for me to paint them.
I've also been painting some other bits and bobs as I really must get my madeit shop up and running.

Cute side table

Boxes boxes and more boxes



Small hexagon box with hinged lid

  



Small jewellery box with hinged lid





Larger square box with removable lid, the inside has a pale pink paper patterned lining

I'm really into suit cases at the moment and when I get chance to purchase one at a reasonable price I do





pair of sweet paintings to hang on a wall

Well I'd better go do something DD needs a fancy dress costume making for Sat evening, this is it so far, she's going as Esmeralda.



Till next time
Happy crafting
