2012 is fast approaching

To go with the theme of a new year I have joined Triple the Scraps 2012 Hymn & Scripture Challenge. I have never done a challenge before, have no idea if I will have the where with all to keep up with it, or if it is going to fall by the wayside.. But I am going to do my best to stick with this. I have decided to do a rolodex version. I have always wanted to mess around with them in a crafty way, here is my chance!

My Craft Studio

Yeah, it's not quite together yet, but it's almost there!

Key word of the day... "Organize"

Sadly it's a word that I must not have been taught while growing up, or maybe it is just the artist in me. Part hoarder, part OCD organizational freak. My inner demons... They battle it out let me tell you.

So far... I have only 2 pics I am willing to share, the rest of the room is just ugh... too messy! :)
More to come!


Busy bee

Wow it has been amazingly gorgeous weather hasn't it??
I have been super busy cleaning out the attic and creating!
I found some gorgeous old china, some old silverware from when my hubby and I first got married <3 and oh soo very much awesome and vintage stuff. My craft table has been kept full and my camera flashing!

This is what I have up for grabs today.

Even though I am selling these, I am just not sure... I want to keep them so badly, but honestly. I don't know where to put them, I just have too much clutter at the moment.

I created these beauties from some dishes that I found and used some old candle sticks as the dividers! <3 em!!

Are these not absolutely fabulous! I am still so undecided, every time I see them I just want to keep them... must stay strong!

So much chic!

I was torn between keeping these or not! I just adore the slight chippyness and old world feel of these accent tables. Oh the places I could put them in my house. But I can just see them in a tweens bedroom, a place to lay a diary or to drop the days jewelry. Maybe a sparkling bedside lamp and a good book.

I put so much thought into decorating these tables, can you tell? Hope that they find a great home and a very appreciative new owner who will love them as much as I have!

Tables are 17" tall and 18x18 square. I am selling them for $45 each, obo.

First is my pink and black creation. I so wanted to create something that was "Tween" either for a little girl or the little girl in us moms!






My second creation is in Purple and Silver. This is definitely more of a teen and up table, with a little bit of industrial with the silver wrapping and bling!








Yummy Crafty Fun!

Having too much fun making these retro steampunky kinda clips.. how many things can you think to do with this?

Cleaned up beautifully - Sold!

I have absolutely looved loved loved this clock since my mother gave it to me many moons ago. However with changing to a rustic southwestern shabby chic look, the retro clock just doesn't match.

This clock keeps wonderful time. I have tightened all the wood rays up, as well as used all natural beeswax on the teak and polished to a gorgeous candle sheen. It made it harder to part with, let me tell you! I took a cloth to the clock face, but didn't want to polish away the rust patina, I have always felt that it added to the funky look. Hopefully the next owner will feel the same.

I am unable to even find this design anywhere online! I found a thumbnail of one that sold back in 2008, but I figured I would err on the side of low. Every other Elgin clock with the same dimensions, age, and style as well as in working condition were going for over $150!

Measurements are
Teak Rays - 8 1/2"
Clock as a whole from top of ray at 12, to bottom of ray at 6. - 25"
Clock face - 7 1/8"
There are a total of 12 teak wood rays and 12 brass balls on a brass circle frame.





Making more room so I can create- Sold!

Clean up is going great! My work area is almost ready to start fixing up furniture. I can't wait.

But for now I have a few old gaming systems that need to go! As well as lots of games that go with the system.

Only one of these Barbies has been opened and it's breaking my heart to part with them. But, I just have nowhere to display them and would rather that they go to a home to be showcased.

Will fill in prices as soon as I do some research. I am looking at below internet prices IE: I'm not competing with Ebay... :)
