July-#-33---Trinket-box
One of the challenges in the July portfolio at Sweet Shoppe Designs is to make a trinket box using a digital kit from the shoppe.  I used the Happy Go Lucky kit by Kristin Cronin-Barrow because I loved the colors in it.  I may even use the trinket box for something!

Girls Rock Frame
I decided to do a hybrid scrapbook project for one of the challenges in the June Portfolio at Sweet Shoppe.  I created a layout and glued it onto a wood 8x8 frame.  Different!

Our bathroom lights ~ we really need to change them one of these days.  We have to unscrew half of them or else we’ll get heat stroke!

Love this little project!  I saw it in a Creating Keepsakes ad for Sizzix ~ think I’ll give it a try.

My little wire angel ~ keeping me safe in my craft space.  In other words, so I don’t cut or stab myself, or run over my fingers with the sewing machine.

4-10 Mousepad redo
I’ve had a mousepad for at least 4 years that I loved ~ it was tropical and said “A bad day at the beach is better than a good day at work” (or something like that).  I hated to get rid of it, but after 4 years it was looking a little really grungy.  So I gave it a facelift with some fabric I had in my stash.  I must say it looks a lot happier :)

2-20 Big mouth fish
I love this little big-mouth fish.  He sits on my kitchen counter, ready to hold the dish scrubbie.   He’s just happy that I rescued him from a garage sale.

My favorite baskets ~ I bought these a long time ago at a local craft fair.  They’re perfect for the bathroom ~ one square for Kleenex, one round for hand towels.  I actually took some basket classes (forever ago), and I keep thinking I should try it again.  Maybe someday ….

1-29 Crabby clock
Our crabby clock.  I found this colorful crab at one of the flea markets down here and added the clock pieces.  It makes a really cute clock for the bathroom.

1-17 Chihuly 2
I was flipping through a Naples magazine and came across photos of a Dale Chihuly chandelier that someone had put in their home (of all places).  I’m totally enamored of Chihuly glass pieces ~ the first one I saw was the floral glass sculpture that  decorates the ceiling of the Bellagio lobby in Las Vegas.   He has also done a few for the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.  Beautiful.

My first home dec project of the year ~ a set of stackable tables we got from Mom and Dad.  Originally an old off-white set, I love the way these brighten up the lanai (which was in desperate need of some color out there!)
