Lots of furniture to paint...so little time!!


I just got this blanket chest on Craigs List........painitng the front and hopfully getting it into my shop this weekend!  One of these days I will actually paint a piece of furniture that I keep for myself!!

I can't wait until it is nicer outside so I can paint outside!!
Here are a few of my latested painted furniture.....
This is a drop leaf oak desk I painted for my parents to sell for them in my shop....I put sheepies on the drawer!!!

This is another Blanket chest that I painted last year....

I also took some snaps of my little corner at THE COLLECTORS EYE in Stratham....


I love my little corner....I just wish I could afford a bigger space because I have so much furniture to paint and I don't have the room!!!!!
OHhhhhhhhhhhhhh well!!!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

WOW!! I have been MIA for quite some time!! I started a new full time job and have been sadly missing my sewing and painting!! Tis the season to get right back in the swing of things!!   I am getting ready to post more of my blacken bees wax on Etsy.  I have made a few of my own santas molds and bought a great one as well.
this one is from Home Spun Heart on Etsy.  I love her molds
I made a mold from a santa candy mold ornament
I also made an "Old World Santa" that I absolutly LOVE!!  I am going to try to get the pattern made up before Christmas. 

He's looooooooooooong and skinny!! I am now at a new location- The Collectors Eye in Stratham New Hampshire.  Check them out: http://www.collectorseye.com/CAP.html that is my little nook!!
Great time of year to go to the old barn if you leave close by!!!!! 
And........................I have been making little snowman gourd ornies!!  They are so cute, they are made from small spinner gourds that are dried
What else? What else??...oh yeah....


My star Santa Tree topper!!  He is on a rusty bed spring and looks great on the top of the tree.  I am going to be listing all these items VERY soon on my etsy shop as soon as I get better pictures and get around to listing them!!!  I have a bunch of other goodies I am finishing up but I think that is ALOT for now don't you???

I went for the curtains....



Well, I decided to finish the curtians!!  I love the way they came out but the more I finish off that room......the more I am going to miss using it as my painting room.  As you can see I have a few tables drying there.  I have to move one of the out because hubby hates the smell of the new paint I am using!!!  I absolutly LOVE old village paint but it does have a little stink to it.  It is oil based and the only draw back it that it takes over 24 hours for the first coat to dry.....but the colonial colors are beautiful!!!!  I actually have 12 pieces of furniture that I have to paint up and get ready for my shop when we get back from our trip.  I am getting a bigger space at the shop so I can put all my furniture in it!!!

I am starting to get ready for the Christmas show I am doing in November.....I know I know, the mere mention of Christmas and it is still spring!!
