It has been so long since I have been able to get back to my blog....I have missed it! I wish that I could say that I have defined my goals for the year but I honestly can't say I did which is very different for me. I made the decision to let each day unfold into what it is meant to be...... and to paint what I love.

 

I have wanted to paint this design from the moment I saw it. That is the one thing I love about January.....things slow down and I have the time to paint those "someday" designs that the busier part of the year never allow for. This is another sweet design from Terrye French and is one of my favorites.

In my travels to find unique items to paint on I came across 4 antique sewing drawers last summer. They are so unique to use throughout the home. I have one that I use in my bath to hold rolled up washcloths, but I have seen them decorated with rag balls, bowl fillers, used to hold office supplies....the ideas are endless. This sweet design is by Marie Provost......love her designs!

 

 

Blessings To All...

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday Everyone! It is a gorgeous fall day here today....little on the nippy side, but the sun is shining, and it is so welcome after the wet and dreary weekend. It was a great time to get some painting done though so I wanted to share a couple of the items I completed.

This is an old coal shovel that I discovered at one of my favorite antique shops. This adorable Terrye French design was just perfect for it. I topped it off with artificial greens a rusty jingle bell and a tag that says "Believe".

 

Sandy Holman designed this sweet snowgal.......all dressed up in her winter finery. I painted this on a wood heart that has a heavy wrought iron hanger.

 

 

As always so many things to paint.....so little time. Here is wishing you all a great start to the new week.....enjoy this beautiful fall weather!

Till next time.........God Bless

 

Hi Everyone! I know it has been a very long time since I made a post. I made the decision to take the summer off as it is such a busy time for me and family, but I have truly missed all of you here in
blogland and I am back!

I did do some painting over the summer as I was truly blessed with a very busy summer of sales, but now it is holiday time and I have been having a great time painting for Fall, Halloween and the holidays.

I painted this sweet design by Cyndi Combs as one of my entries for the Old Farmhouse Gathering's
Christmas and Winter Celebration. As always is can be found in my Etsy shop!

The Old Farmhouse Gathering Team has geared up for their Winter Wonderland Celebration!! I hope you all can take a moment to visit and see the wonderful creations by these great artists.

 

What would the holidays be without a cute Santa! I painted this on an 8x10 canvas panel and added the black frame. For this Celebration I used designs from Cyndi Combs. You can purchase Cyndi's designs here.....

I love the kittys that were included in this cute snowman design. The background of this painting is the same as for Santa above. They work wonderfully for table tops and fireplaces as they both come with easels on the back.

 

Till next time.......God Bless!

I finally got a chance to do a little painting!! This adorable design by Niomi Draper has been on my "to do" list for awhile. I painted it on a wood door crown and was so pleased with the way it turned out!! Its available for sale in my Etsy shop. Click Primgals Primitive Palette on the photo for a larger view.

I hope to get a few more pieces painted to share with you soon so thanks for visiting, and until next time.....

God Bless!

I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged! With the wonderful weather we have been having I have spent every moment possible working in the garden. Our garden is always a work in progress, as we clean, transplant, mulch and add new plants and flowers. We still have more to go but I do enjoy taking photos as we move along in the season. I hope you enjoy seeing what we have done so far.

The cute pink metal garden stake was one of my gifts this year from the grandchildren. It was just the perfect punch of color while we wait for the other things to bloom. My garden is primarily a perennial garden, so we do have something blooming all the time, but lots of green too especially in the shaded area of the garden.

I just love my chicken gourd. This was painted for me by my dear friend Donna Blasssingham. I love the whimsical element among the hostas.

The lillies are just starting to bloom......they have to be one of my favorite flowers!

The roses are just gorgeous this year. This bush is one of my favorites as it blooms just about all season long.

I will be adding more photos as the garden progresses through the summer season. Until them I am wishing you a very blessed day! Until next time.......God Bless!
