I have been dabbling with painting larger canvas pieces and I LOVE IT! Lots of time involved but it allows so much more to the creative process. This design by Terrye French/Deb Antonick was a challenge for me to step out of my comfort zone and play with brighter colors. Such a fun piece to paint!</div>

I had such a wonderful time painting this design from Monika Brint. I have been wanting to do one of her designs for such a long time! This piece has already sold, but I have a wonderful customer that just sent me a sled to paint, and Monika's snowmen will be perfect!Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06093459817785625313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451156531675749736.post-49974506031880066782015-10-20T09:21:00.000-05:002015-10-20T09:21:58.493-05:00It's Been A Long Time!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can hardly believe that it is time for Christmas painting already......as I am still enjoying the beautiful weather and colors of fall. I found this old metal coal shovel at an estate sale and had such fun painting it. I love this Santa by Cyndi Combs and I think it fit this surface wonderfully! </div>

Everyone knows that is my favorite time of year, and most of all my favorite season to paint. I just love the warm color palette of browns, golds, and deep oranges. I can't wait for the sweatshirts, crunching leaves, and the glorious crisp mornings!<div>

Life happens and found I needed to step away for a time, and get priorities in order. I am hoping in the next few days to catch up with you all and visit your wonderful blogs.......I have missed so much!<div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although it is the end of July it has been time to start painting for Fall. As always so many things to paint and so little time to do it all. But I wanted to share a couple rusty tin pumpkins that I have completed to get the season started. This one is a Renee Mullins design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sweet scarecrow couldn't scare anyone least of all the crow on his pants! I love working with Marie Provost designs.....they are always so very sweet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have some work to finish on these little mini canvases but wanted to share. I make them into ornaments for theme trees, or they can be used for basket ties, or added to cabinet doors for the season. I still need to add the eye hooks and hangers and add them to my Etsy shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have enjoyed my new items.......and it is great to be back painting on a regular basis. I will have many more things to show you so I hope you are a frequent visitor!</div>

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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tXP656qLl10/UQKewL2jOPI/AAAAAAAACXQ/XCEjjs8S6uw/s1600/Saltbox+House+Sewing+Drawer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tXP656qLl10/UQKewL2jOPI/AAAAAAAACXQ/XCEjjs8S6uw/s320/Saltbox+House+Sewing+Drawer.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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!</div>

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

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.</div>

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.</div>

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.</div>

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. </div>

Good Morning Blog Friends! Wow it has been awhile since I have been able to post. I have been blessed beyond measure with lots of work this past month, so I have been working feverishly on orders, but the past couple days have allowed me a chance to paint a couple of new things and I wanted to share. I have been having a great time painting these small prim canvases. Sometimes you just need that little extra something and of course no prim home is complete without a saltbox or two. This design by Marie Provost is one of my favorites.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9qtNG_YZKgI/T4V4HDstz0I/AAAAAAAACSc/Zg4qI_uvr_k/s1600/100_4920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9qtNG_YZKgI/T4V4HDstz0I/AAAAAAAACSc/Zg4qI_uvr_k/s320/100_4920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This Terrye French design is so sweet! Such fun painting these cute chickens! Each has a distint personality of their own, and would look wonderful in any room!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We actually dipped to freezing temps overnight. So thinking ahead to barbeques, gardening, and just some fun in the sun, I painted this Americana sheep by Terrye French. Lots of wonderful summertime detail in this piece!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Hope everyone has had a good week and are looking forward to a great weekend. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to share a few projects that I got done this week. I love primitive dolls, and so admire the many talented doll makers here in blogland. I don't sew any longer so the next best thing for me was to paint some. This design is by Terrye French and is available for purchase in my Etsy shop.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vnz6R5YyCRQ/TzQMLwb005I/AAAAAAAACPQ/22FFREmJbOI/s1600/Etsy+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vnz6R5YyCRQ/TzQMLwb005I/AAAAAAAACPQ/22FFREmJbOI/s400/Etsy+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My husband and I spent the better part of last Sunday(before the Super Bowl game...:)) cleaning and rearranging all of my collected "stash" projects, and its amazing what you forget you have. So I decided this week to start working on at least one or two of those items a week....so I won't feel too guilty bringing home even more. This tissue box has a design by Kim Klasson and will fit a long box of tissues......love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1RyxNcOgcfc/TzQMZGBoBPI/AAAAAAAACPY/LYsQlmZhKbY/s1600/Etsy+Photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1RyxNcOgcfc/TzQMZGBoBPI/AAAAAAAACPY/LYsQlmZhKbY/s400/Etsy+Photo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another stash item that was really fun to do. This recipe box would be perfect in any primitive kitchen and when you lift the lid there is a space to hold your recipe card. Note to self....I really need to get my own recipes organized!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b95TKXCCWRg/TzQMiGiV7_I/AAAAAAAACPg/2jx6X2krLuk/s1600/All+Four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b95TKXCCWRg/TzQMiGiV7_I/AAAAAAAACPg/2jx6X2krLuk/s320/All+Four.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had a request from a customer of mine to do up some of these coasters, so I did an extra set while I was at it. These coasters are rather different as they are not made of wood. They are made from mousepad material and I love the way the non slip backing not only keeps your drinks from sliding, with the rubber backings they really protect your furniture too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is a pretty day here today.....the sun is shining, and no sign of any snow. We have truly been blessed with a very mild winter, but I am still looking forward to spring coming soon. I hope you are having great weather where you are, and wishing you all a very blessed weekend!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Till next time......God Bless!</div>Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06093459817785625313noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451156531675749736.post-61656971969972221162012-01-30T08:33:00.000-06:002012-01-30T08:33:34.443-06:00Happy Monday!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zMDlN4oluuE/Tyanueu5xlI/AAAAAAAACO4/8wn8PkXb-3g/s1600/Closeup+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zMDlN4oluuE/Tyanueu5xlI/AAAAAAAACO4/8wn8PkXb-3g/s320/Closeup+1.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good Morning Blog friends! We have snow on the ground and it is a bit chilly here today, but for an Illinois winter we sure can't complain. Hope it is nice where you are too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been using the month of January to simplify and organize my studio, and that has brought forth a few changes. Like any self respecting crafter I have too much "STUFF" and it was becoming overwhelming. So I have been busy reorganizing, pitching, and rethinking how I really want to proceed in this new year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3uiQMWFtefc/TyakpKfDPVI/AAAAAAAACOw/yEFdbm6zVac/s1600/Etsy+Photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3uiQMWFtefc/TyakpKfDPVI/AAAAAAAACOw/yEFdbm6zVac/s400/Etsy+Photo.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know about you all, but I have more painting surfaces then I will ever paint in a life time. It is so hard to let go of those "but I might paint that later" piece! I know so many of you can relate....:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So decisions had to be made and I asked myself the hard questions......what do you love to paint on the most......and that answer was very surprising since I am such a primitive gal, but my true first love is canvas. So I have been working on some new pieces that I wanted to share.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

All of the canvas pieces include the frames and are available in my Etsy shop.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hello Everyone!! It has been awhile since I have had an opportunity to get back to my blog! I am hoping that I can change that in the next coming weeks. Tis the season for getting products to customers and making new items, so I wanted to share a few that I have done in the past couple weeks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This door crown was my first one of this season, and is a design by Terrye French.
