Ivy and Lavender

Today I had my first ever craft show table. I really enjoyed the day, even though I was sleep deprived from excitement and nerves. It was great to share my hard work with so many people. I'm now working to update my online pages and have items available for purchase!

Craft show, I'm ready for you

Happy Halloween! Tonight, while waiting for trick or treaters I worked on a commissioned piece.

The November 5th Holiday Craft Show is less than a week away now! I worked hard this weekend to choose lumber, sand and stain the pieces. The kind employees at Home Depot cut the lumber to size for me. At home I hand sanded each piece and then began staining. Here's a sneak peek at some finished designs waiting to be varnished and some stained lumber waiting to be painted on!

Well, my wedding is about 8 months away! I took advantage of the nice warmer weather and got some spray painting done outside. There will be some copper and rose gold around on June 30th. I also got some wood staining done. I think I found my two favorite stain colors!
