Ivy and Lavender

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!
