My Mini Apron....

Here I've added the pictures of My mini apron and stand, also another chalkboard, a tile that I painted and letters using my cricut machine and then the oversized shopping list chalkboard. It was a lot of fun.

I have turned into some kind of Monster. Imagine a monster with an apron, kinda just takes the scare right out of things hu? I spent a few hours yesterday cutting up Little girl aprons and accomplished my goal of 15. Oh yea, a friend of mine found the cutest Mini apron patterns that you use to put on a christmas tree or hang above your kitchen window and such. They are soooo cute. I decided to make a stand for one that I designed cause I was in a hurry and wanted to see what it would look like... I will try and take a picture and put it on the blog.

Here is another project. I made these garden plant picks with my computer graphics (PC Crafter). I cut out my wood and stakes, painted them and then just deopaged (sp) them onto the finished wood, and wahla!

Just one more. I am having a hard time adding photos so that I don't have to keep going back and forthe. Help Maria!!!!!!!

Another Kitchen Kloset Chalkboard

Here is the finished project. You can see that I painted a border, I also cut out a board that would fit into the center and had pre-sprayed it with blackboard paint, I added a painted wooden spoon attatched with screws from the back and 2 aluminum extenders and attatched the little chalk holder on the right. The spoon is to hang a dishtowel from. There are hangers on the back.

It's been quite a while since I blogged and added anything to my site. It has been pretty crazy around here. We (some friends of mline) have been hard at work trying to get things done for the Farmer's Market to sell some of our stuff. First we had to qualify through a Jury panel and then wait to be notified if we were admitted or not. What a fiasco! they needed all kinds of photos and information and such just to be juried. Anyway her is a picture of an item that they juried. You will notice that I always like to re-purpose things, henced the old cupboard doors. I bought them at a garage sale a few years back. This first picture is what it looked like before. Following are pictures of the finished project and a few samples of some of the others that I made.

Little Melody, Ontaya and Stan's little baby (5mos.) is facinated by her Great-Grampa. She kept watching and watching him. They were having quite a conversation and it finally ended in a great big slobbery kiss. Taya appears oblivious to it all.

I couldn't help myself. We had pushed furniture around in Trish's front room to make room for air matresses for everyone and all of a sudden my brother Dave comes out with his sleep apnea (sp) gear on his head and starts doing his bird of paradise thing flapping his wings (arms) and sucking in his cheeks and he just cracked us up. He made me promise not to put the video part on You Tube. I don't recall promising so.... anyway we laughed till we... sorry I had to go to the bathroom cause I started laughing again. A side effect from having 7 kids.
