New items in the etsy shop

We are spending our month at the beach and enjoying every minute of it.
I've even managed to sneak in a little bit of work time and I have a few new items in my etsy shop.

I found my stash of vintage fabrics and was inspired to make a couple of new pillows.
You can order "i am blessed" here

and a new twist on my "beYOUtiful" pillow here.

I am especially excited to show you some new mugs that are available for pre-order here.
They are 12 oz. coffee mugs that are dishwasher and microwave safe.  Aren't they cute?

I'll be back on Monday with a super cute project for the Summer Series!

Have a fabulous weekend!!

Home

Sorry I totally bailed on Summer Series this week.
I got caught up filling orders and creating a new series and now it's Friday.
I promise I'll have a new one on Monday, just in time for the 4th of July!

So do you want to see my pretty little houses I made?
I had so much fun making them!!  :)

They are available in my Etsy shop.
Have a wonderful weekend Friends!!

Colorful new items and gastritis

 

I've been on a creative kick lately with wood and paint.

I love this progression of "beYOUtiful" signs.

Cut wood, painted wood, finished wood.  :)

 

I sold them all in an IG sale except this red one with rainbow letters.  It is actually my favorite one!  I listed it here in the etsy shop.

I've been making lots and lots and lots of hearts with wings.
I listed them here in the shop.

And cupcakes!  Yes, wooden cupcakes with a glitter cherry on top.  Listed here.
Don't I have a precious model?  ;)

In other news, I had an endoscopy last week. 
I am battling a bad case of gastritis and a hiatal hernia.
I will find out in a couple of weeks if I have a celiac allergy.
No fun!  But the good news is that it's FORCING me to stay away from chocolate, fried foods, and other things that aren't good for me.
If any of y'all live with this I would love any advice :)

I hope you're having a marvelous Monday!
We only have four more weeks of school!  :)

Home series

I'm so very excited about this little series I created.

Over Christmas break I used the kitchen table as my workspace for a few days.

I had six canvases, all 6"x 6", and all my paint.

I painted one of these and then I couldn't stop!

For three days off and on I painted and watched the whole first series of "Once Upon a Time" on Netflix.

It was a fun and relaxing time.

My favorite part of each one is the heart coming out of the chimney.  :)

I posted the original's on my instagram account and I sold the whole series, so I made prints.
I'm selling them as 8 x 8 prints, and as a 6" x 6" print series.

If you are interested in a custom original painting similar to one of these, you can click here.
They would be a sweet Valentine gift, dontcha think?  :)

Speaking of Valentines day, have you made any cute crafty decorations yet?  I've seen some adorable ones on Pinterest.  :)

Etsy Update

Good Monday morning Friends!
I hope the weekend was good to you.  :)
I meant to post these last week with the new checkbook covers but ran out of time.


This angel was made from pieces of scrap wood and she measures 10" x 16".
She has one of my favorite scriptures on her dress, Proverbs 31:25.
She is meant to be a shelf sitter.
You can find her here.

                      

I'm letting go of the original "God gives us rainbows to remind us of hope" collage in it's original lavender frame.
I love this piece;)  You can find it here.

I have two new "beYOUtiful" signs as well in the shop.
I intended to make many more as it has become a very popular item in the shop, but I ran out of time.
I will be making more in different colors soon.

This house was also made from pieces of scrap wood.
It is painted and has many elements of collage and mixed-media as well.
You can find it here.

I am up early due to a busy day.
Errands, gym, grocery store, art with Pre-K, a doctor appointment...
You may find me asleep tonite by 8 pm!

Have a wonderful Monday!  ;)

Spend Wisely...Checkbook covers

The first  checkbook I ever made was for myself.  I had just started reading Dave Ramsey's stuff, and I was "gazelle-intense" at the time.  It took us almost two years to pay off our debt, but we did it.  Now we are trying to fill up our emergency fund. 

Anyway, I made the checkbook cover with the words "Spend Wisely" on it to remind myself the plan that we were/are on.  When people saw them they started asking for them and they have become one of my most popular etsy items.

I finally finished this batch...I used some beautiful new fabrics and some that have been popular in the past.

I like knowing that in some small way I can create something that helps people stay true to their financial goals.  Because we all know, it's hard!

You can find them here.
I hope you are having a lovely Wednesday Friends!  ;)
