My House...

This one has an interesting story. I saved a bunch of drawings my daughter created with she was in preschool. I thought they were interesting, and maybe I could incorporate them into one of my "yearly" paintings. That super cool, crazy figure is her contribution to the painting. I thought the end result was whimsical and fun. The original now hangs in her room, find the mini version in my shop, fabulouslyflawedmini.

Introducing Area Rugs...

I've been playing around with printing rugs. After a few test, I finally got the look I want. They are beautiful!
I still have a little work to do, I want to add fringe to the edges to give them a totally realistic look. You will see these testers in my staging photos for the new items I'm listing. Once I have all the new items done, I will start adding the rugs. OMG, did I say I was so EXCITED!!!!

Dining Chairs for the Farm Tables...

Took a little break today from making sofas to play around with dining chairs. Here are my 2 testers. I like them both, but think the armless one is perfect for the farm tables I've been working on. Now I have to add paint and maybe a seat cushion. Stay tuned.

Working in Wood...

 I keep going back and forth on the seating for the Farm Tables, should I sell the tables with seating or not? I'm leaning towards seating, so today I created a bench set for the Pure White Farm Table I'm creating. I plan on creating a beautiful blue linen cushion for each bench. While the bench paint is drying, I pulled out a HofM kit and change it up a bit. I will go from a simple cabinet to a wonderful dining room hutch to hold mini silverware, 2 storage baskets to hold extras and a towel rack on the side. I'm thinking this will work well the the Old White Farm Table and Bench Set. Will be working late tonight ;).

In Between Figuring It Out...

Still trying to figure out how to add letters and numbers to the manniquins without ruining the fabric. Keep looking for tiny stencils, but thinking the ink will run makes me afraid. Considering  a transfer method, but don't want it to look obvious…still work to do on this idea.

While I ponder, I decided to make a bunch of french tea towels in different colors. Mom is visiting and helping out (she loves these little tiny things), she suggested I make french baguette bags. So we did, here's a peek. I am in love!

Coming soon to the shop.
