Hey Blogging Friends! Is everyone surviving this incredible heat wave? I have really missed being outside, but it is just a little too hot for me.......so I have been staying cool and creating some new items for my Etsy shop.
I found these small cutting boards at my local Dollar store about three years ago, and every once in awhile I find the perfect design for them. This one features a design by Marie of Marie 's Country Woodcrafts
I have several of Marie's designs as I love the simplicity of them. Please visit Marie's selling blog to see the many designs she has to offer.....such cute and primitive ideas!
These small cutting boards have been wonderful for filling gift baskets during the holidays, or as a quick and easy hostess gift.....make up a batch of cookes, add the cutting board, and you have a wonderful gift for someone.
It wouldn't be Fall without a new pumpkin soap to add to your Fall decorating. I love the way this pops against the black background. I did one in pumpkin, and also a white one, they can both be found at my Etsy shop.....Primgals Primitive Palette
Now this was a true pleasure to paint. This is a new design from Terrye French. All four seasons are represented on this paper mache tissue box. Lots of detail with each scene, and would make a wonderful gift for those hard to buy for folks at holiday time.
I have so many ideas running around in my head today.....and I just can't wait to get started on some of them. It is such a busy time for artists of all kinds this time a year, as we try to spend time with our familys, keep up with the outdoor activities, and start producing for our Fall lineups and shows. I have set so many goals for myself........it is the only way I can stay on track. So a little of this and a little of that, and hopefully it will all get done!
Wishing each and everyone one of you a wonderful day! I can't tell you often enough what your comments, support, and friendship mean to me. I swear I have the best followers anyone could ever want. So stay cool, get creative, and I will see you again soon!
Oh Jody I love your new creations but I am in love with the cutter board how precious is that!! And the soap is so pretty, stay cool

ReplyDeleteBoy howdy are we in a heat wave! Going on 7 days here with a heat index of 105 to 115. We go out in the mornings and evenings and stay inside the rest of the day. The pool is even so hot, it feels like a hot tub. Haha, but oh well... life is still good!
ReplyDeleteI love Marie's designs! They are so adorable, she is very talented!
Your cutting board is adorable too! What a neat idea for a gift. I would be thrilled to receive one. All of your paintings are wonderful! The tissue box is another neat idea. You are so creative and so talented!!
