Blessings to All

Trash to Treasure Tuesday

I simply love the smell of Sweet Annie! Just brush by it and the fragrance is heavenly. I had this old box down in my basement. It was once a recipe box, but somewhere along the line the lid was misplaced. I don't know why I hung on to it, but then again, yes I do......I can't let go of anything that might one day be a treasure. Well anyway I found it the other day, as I wanted to do a fast and easy project for an end table in my living room. The color scheme in there is beige, white, and brown, so I grabbed this old box, stained it dark walnut, added a simple little" Olde Candles" label, and I had it.
. Now what to fill it with. Now keep in mind this was a fly by the seat of your pants project......:) So I took a candle that I had in my cabinet, placed it on some floral foam, Then I went in search of a few rusty stars, added my left over Sweet Annie, and in 30 minutes I had a cute little added touch for my living room. I have plans to eventually replace the real candle with a battery operated one, but need to get to the store and get one since I have used all of mine. Anyway, this was fun, and so simple. Just look around your home, I bet there are all kinds of things you could use for quick and easy projects.
While taking pictures, I couldn't resist doing one is sepia. Love the way it turned out!

Good Morning!

I was hoping to get back in yesterday, with pictures of our snow, but it didn't go as I planned.....some days never do. Those that know me well, know that I am a list maker, but even with a list sometimes life just has other plans...:)
I worked on some new soaps yesterday......these were done based on designs from Renee Mullins. Every once in awhile it is fun, and relaxing, to do something out of the box. I think these called my name yesterday, as we woke to 3" of snow, and spring was no where in sight. So I brought spring to me......:)

You know the old adage of a plumber, electrician, or an artisian never seems to have the time to do their own work in their homes? Well that would describe me to a tee! For months, I have had ideas, and projects that I have wanted to do, and today I decided to do just that! Today is Jody's house day, and I am loving it

I purchased this sconce about 15 years ago on a trip to Branson Missouri. At that time Branson was loaded with wood carvers, and crafters of every kind. Well this piece fit perfectly back then, in my sprawling farmhouse. Since we decided to downsize and move into town, I never really found the right spot for it until now. Of course the way it was just wouldn't do, so I have changed it to fit my Colonial Prim decor in my dining room. I added the antique hurricane globe, and it will be perfect prim lighting for the evenings.

Whatcha Workin on Wednesday

I was beginning to wonder if I was going to get this finished in time to post, but here it is! This is what I have been working on today. This is such a great piece! It is a tissue box holder, along with having a small caddy drawer at the bottom to hold those pieces of jewelry we don't want to misplace, or for storing any kind of small items.


I will be adding this piece to my Etsy shop if anyone is interested in purchasing one similar. All of my pieces are painted one at a time, so each piece is created just for you! Makes it a one of a kind item, as I am always adding here and adding there with each piece I create. Hope you enjoy!

My Weekend Project

I hope everyone had a great and relaxing weekend, I know I did. We had nothing that had to be done yesterday so I stayed at home, and completed a project that I have wanted to do for a very long time. I adore stacking boxes! Painted ones, fabric ones, just about any that I see. With my home being a small cottage I can use all the extra storage I can get, and these boxes are perfect for all those items that never seem to find a home. They are a wonderful prim accent too for cupboards and display shelves. Hope you enjoy!

Check out this Cottage Style Blog!

Good Morning Everyone!

Well we woke up to snow here in Illinois today and it is still snowing.......aggggg......I am so ready for tulips, daffodils, and the sweet scent of a spring morning breeze! In the meantime though, I wanted to spend some time getting caught up with my favorite blogs, and I wanted to share this one with you.

If you love cottage, prim, and trash to treasure creations, you have to visit Appletree Cottage! Martha's amazing talent is such an inspiration to me!

What I Have Been Working On Wednesday!

I so enjoyed doing my animal sitter blocks, that this week I decided to do another set for the upcoming summer season. I think I could do these blocks all day long they are so much fun to do. These would be great for anyone that loves to decorate in the Americana style. I am rather a perfectionist when it comes to my painting, and so these are a nice change of pace for me. The more rugged, and prim the better. I am hoping to have more for the upcoming holiday season, just haven't figured it all out yet........:)

I have a couple more projects in the works, that I hope I get finished in time to show you next week. I am hoping to get outside and get a little yard work done, along with some spring cleaning, so I am trying to do a little here and a little there.........we all know how that is. Have a great day everyone, and hope you enjoy the blocks!

Treasury of Cottage Style

Although I love to paint primitive art, I love the softness and simplicity of cottage style too! If you are looking for some great new pieces for your cottage syle home, check out the artisians in this treasury I just did for my street team, Old Farmhouse Gathering. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I sure didn't get as much accomplished as I would have liked, but it was nice to do some relaxing for change also. I just wanted to share with you this morning a treasury that I just did featuring some great Etsy sellers, and wonderful primitive items. I am always looking for new things I just have to have, and this is a great variety. Clicks and comments are sure welcome, and the gals featured all appreciate them. Enjoy!!!

My Favorite Things!

As most of you know by now, my passion in life is painting primitive and cottage art, but a little known fact about me is my love for the written word. I remember as a child, walking to the library, to get as many books as my arms would hold. I spent my allowance money at the bookstore, buying up every new Nancy Drew mystery that came out. Oops, now I am showing my age......:)

But in spite of spending most of my reading time today on the computer, with websites, and blogs, and yes, even the newspaper, there is still something magical about curling up on a rainy Saturday afternoon with a book you just can't put down. My love of words has never left me, and that is reflected in one of my favorite things.........signs. I have signs of different sayings all through my home, and garden. Usually just a word or two, keeping it simple as always. When people visit my home, they see what I hold dear, what is important to me in life, and what my approach to life is really all about. Weather it is on a plaque, a large wood sign, or stitched on a pillow, words are the easiest way to convey just who you are, and what you hold dear.

Now for the fun part........I wanted to show you a new sign that I just purchased from Rhonda of BeecharmerPrimitives. Now this one was just for fun, but I couldn't resist it. The primitive way she has done this has such a simplicity, and reminded me of the days spent in my grandmothers kitchen. I just had to have it.........:) Be sure to visit Rhonda's blog over the weekend. She is hosting a giveaway of one of her neat signs. I know I sure signed up. Have a great weekend everyone!

What I Have Been Working On!

This is an old paddle that has been laying around now for quite some time. It was painted bright white, and that just wouldn't do.....:) So I painted it black, crackled it, added a very deep beige topcoat, sanded, and antiqued, and now it looks like it has been around for centuries. I love this sheep design by John Sliney too.......it was the perfect design for this piece. Love how it turned out.

I received this recipe box from a dear friend, and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It originally had been a maple color wood, and though cute, just wouldn't do in a prim kitchen. So of course I had to make a few changes......:) Again just a little black paint, some stars added to the sides, and you have a perfect prim addition to any kitchen.

I will be working on more trash to teasure items throughout the spring and summer. I set aside one day a week, to hit garage sales, estate sales, and moving sales to find some of my treasures. I have so many ideas, just need to find that perfect 'treasure".

Thank you Kat!

I recieved the nicest surprise today! I received the most wonderful convo from Kat of http://katscraftingcottage.blogspot.com/ telling me that she had featured me on her blog! She has written up a great article on my shop at Etsy and I couldn't be more honored! Thanks so much Kat! If you have a moment hop on over and visit her blog!

Some New Items

I have been doing a bit of trash to treasure painting this week, and it has been a refreshing change. If you are a crafter you know what "stash" is. Well my stash is overflowing, and with the spring days ahead, I thought it would be great to get back to a little simplicity. Many of the items that I paint are very detailed and time consuming, so this was like a breath of fresh air for me to do some of the simpler, and yet oh so primitive pieces. Here are three of my sitter blocks, done with designs from John Sliney. Instead of paint for the backgrounds these were done with a series of washes. The wash gives it that perfect primitive patina of time gone by.

Favorite Things!

All of us have our collections, or that perfect piece that just makes our heart go pitty pat at flea markets and estate sales. For me I can't resist an antique bobbin, or an old window. I have decorated my small living room in windows of different kinds. Some are plain, others have mirrors, but each one speaks to my heart on some level.

I would like to share with you an artist friend Arlene, who's work I have admired for many years. Arlene and I met on a painting forum, and I have been her number one fan for a long time. This lady has incredible talent!

Here is just a peek at what she does with a window........fabulous artist! You can find Arlene's work at the links below. Hope you enjoy!

Thank Goodness It's Friday!

Well I missed my "Whatcha Workin' On Wednesday" this week.....and for that I apologize. It has just been one of those weeks, where I did a little here, a little there, and nothing finished. BUT.......I did work on my studio this week. I have a very small space, actually about the size of a nice walk in closet. So when things get unorganized, it can really drive my stress level up....LOL.
So for this week, instead of working on a painted design, I chose to organize my space, and it does make a big difference to have everything where it belongs. I moved a bookcase to let in more light, and sectioned everything according to function, and I am a happy camper today, as I don't work well in chaos. Of course doing a nice spring cleaning up there, really got the inspiration going, and I would love to have time this summer to do some redecorating in there. I feel that a craft space should always be an inspiration, regardless of the size. Surround yourself with things you love, hang a plaque on the wall that has a favorite saying......paint the room your favorite color weather it matches the rest of your home or not. I make no promises, but I HOPE to be able to show you some changes in my space in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.......:)

A LIttle Touch of Spring!

With all my excitement of spring, I just had to share this gorgeous painting with all of you. This lady is so talented, and it is a pleasure to know her. This painting was done by Barb, of http://barbsgarden.blogspot.com/ Her medium is in oil, and if you wish to see more of Barb's art just visit her blog, or the many places she sells on the web. I met Barb through a small painting group that I am on, and she is such an asset to the group. What incredible talent! You can vist Barb at these locations on the web! Enjoy!

Hi All!

It is positively GORGEOUS here today! I have had the worst case of cabin fever that I can remember having for a long time! The sun is shining, the air is clean and crisp, and the only thing I can think of right now is my longing to go dig in the dirt. I know it is early so I am going to have to contain myself, but oh the promise of spring is all I need today! So I am going to take advantage of it and be outside as much as possible. Grab that cup of coffee, and just enjoy the sunshine.
Also, the news from here today, is that I have decided to offer a supplies category to my Etsy shop. I have so many ornaments, and surfaces that I know I will never get to. So if you are a painter, or crafter, be sure to stay tuned, and I will announce when the supplies area is ready for purchases. I am hoping to have it done and ready by the end of next week! Till the next time.......blessings to each and everyone of you!

Well I Had the Paint Out Already..........

Since I was working on my swap today, and the paint was all on the palette, I figured I didn't want it to go to waste, so I whipped up this cute spring soap to match the candleholder. I really enjoyed doing this one. I am sure it has something to do with all the spring colors. It was sunny here today, but still very chilly, but we are supposed to warm up towards the end of the week, and I am so looking forward to it. In the meantime, I painted a little spring........hope you enjoy!

What I Have Been Working On Wednesday!

We have lots going on over at the OFG Street Team. We are getting ready to launch our Easter Celebration, along with our Spring Celebration, and we have a spring swap going on right now also. Today I wanted to share with you what I did for my swap partner. Always during these swaps I agonize, and change my mind a hundred times, before I finally decide what to paint. I had started about three different projects, but I finally decided on this one.

For our swap this time, we were to create something that was either Spring or Easter related, and I thought this cute design by Renee Mullins, filled the bill on both parts. I then added some scented candles, and will of course include some great Easter goodies in my partners package. Wouldn't be a swap without chocolate..,:) I really enjoyed doing this one, and I hope my partner likes it. I will be mailing out next week.

My Swap Gift!

Hey All!!
Isn't this just the sweetest thing? This was what I received from my swap partner Dee Begg of IceHouseCrafts
We are in the process of having a Spring Swap on the OFG Street Team, and I received this adorable door pocket in the mail just the other day. Dee did a gorgeous job of painting it, and then she stuffed it plumb full of pipberries! I couldn't wait to hang it on my front door to tell my friends and family, that yes, SPRING IS COMING.......:)
Along with my gift, she also send the most yummy cadberry eggs, and some wonderful peanut butter Reese's.....which by the way are long gone. If you have a moment pop over to Dee's and see what other great things she has to offer!
Thanks again so much Dee, I am just thrilled!

Spring Has Sprung on OFG!

If you get a moment today, be sure to stop over at Etsy and check out all the wonderful spring creations our team has put together! We officially launched our Spring Celebration, for our team Old Farmhouse Gathering! The gals have all done a fantastic job and the incredible talent on this team is just amazing. So if you are ready for a breath of spring, be sure to hop on over, you will be glad you did!

I have been so surprised, and honored by the several awards that I have received......thank you for each and everyone one of them, they have all deeply touched my heart.

With that said, I am finding it so difficult to select blogs to send the award on to, as I feel there are so many that are deserving, and I can't pick just a few. So I have decided to be Award Free,

and I hope everyone understands.

Here They Are!

As promised, I did get my new soaps done today! I love to paint on just about any surface imaginable, but I really have a love for painting on soap. I take pride in all the steps that my soaps go through before I feel they are presentable for the buying public.

Through experimentation one day I decided to see if crackle medium would work on a soap surface. Sometimes crackle doesn't do well on all types of surfaces, so I was pleasantly surprised when these turned out as well as they did. Well with a crackle finish, and my love for primitives the sky was the limit. All of my soaps are sanded, then cleaned. The next step is sealing the bar for it to take paint well. Then I apply my first base coat, when dry, the crackle step is next. What is really important in working with soap is allowing for drying time between each step......this is really important for you to be able to turn out a nicely painted soap. If you don't allow for the drying time you find that your paint will creep, or pull off.

So now we go to the topcoat.......after the crackling process is finished, I am finally ready to paint my design of choice. Paint the design, and again let it dry completely. Many times I use a heater or blow dryer to speed up the process. Now it is time to seal the bar, so that the painting will remain if used. I seal my soaps AT LEAST three times........so as you can see my soaps go through quite the process to be ready for sale.

I hope you enjoy the new designs that I have done today........and maybe you will take the leap and try your hand at painting soap! They are really fun, and make excellent small gifts for friends and family.

New Primitive Soaps

What Have I Been Working On!

My Etsy Street Team is gearing up for our Spring/Easter Celebration that will be launching around March 1st, so I have been busy preparing spring pieces to enter. I will be posting more about our Celebration in a few days. I have to have four items......2 for Spring, and 2 for Easter, so the brushes are flying.

It seems the more deadlines I have to meet the more creative I become. You all know I love to paint on soap, so in the midst of bunnies, and Easter eggs, I just had to create some new primitive soaps. I have to give them the finishing touches and then I hope to be able to post them for you to see tomorrow. Add in a Spring Swap and I have projects all over the studio. My mind just goes in so many directions at once, so it is a little here, a little there, and then on to something else. Somehow, someway, I manage to get things done.....:)

So I hope you get a chance to stop back by in the next week or so........and in the meantime I am wishing you a very blessed week.

Look What I Won!!!

I was just delighted when I was contacted that I had won this adorable angel! She arrived in the mail today, and is the perfect addition to my angel collection. A huge thank you goes to Cordwood Cabin Primitives for offering this sweet angel in a give-a-way on their blog! Be sure to check out their blog for even more neat and primitive items! Thanks so much girls I love it!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope that all of you get some time today to send love to your family and friends, and the day is special for all of you!

What Have I Been Working On!

I just love the way this mousepad turned out........as you can see I couldn't pull away from my primitive colors just yet........just had to do this one!

This soap would be adorable in a cottage style home wouldn't it? Actually my own master bathroom is done in cottage style, and I love it!

This mousepad I did for fun........everytime I see this bunny she makes me smile, and those flowers? Wow can't wait to see my own coming up soon!

What would Easter be, without a bunny soap or two? Course he is a prim rabbit, a design from Terrye French!

I made a resolution this year to be more active on my blog, so I have decided to do a "What Have I Been Working On" series that I hope to post each week. Although we are still knee deep in snow here in Illinois, I could have sworn I smelled a breath of spring in the air the other day......probably wishful thinking......:) So with spring in mind, I took the plunge, and put away my primitive colors, and pulled out the lighter shades of spring. These items are a bit different for me, as I don't usually do this palette, but it was fun and a refreshing change. Hope you enjoy! Be sure to stop back by next week, as I have been doing some new primitive items along the way also.

Hey Everyone! I Am Back!

I am so glad to be back in cyberspace! I have had some major computer issues, and just last night, after over two weeks of frustration, I am finally able to communicate for longer the two seconds.......LOL. If all of you love your computer friends, and family as much as I do, you know the feelings of isolation, it was awful!! So with time on my hands I did do up a couple of spring items. Now maybe I can get really busy with doing more with all this other stuff behind me. I have missed you all.....Blessings

Good Morning!

I woke up to a good ole fashioned winter storm today.......lots of snow, lots of wind, and below freezing temps coming later on.........could be as low as 31 below before it is over......brrrrrrrrrr. Now in my mind, this makes for the PERFECT crafting day.........so I have fresh pot of coffee, and I am headed to the studio in just a few minutes, but before doing that I wanted to show you what I have been working on.

In a previous post, I had been sharing about "free" decorating, by taking that shelf, mantle, or corner cabinet and playing with what you already have to give you a fresh feel for little to nothing. Well I started doing that with mine, and I decided I wanted something that I could use for the different seasons, holidays, or whatever theme I happened to be doing at that time. That is when I came across the idea for the shelf sitters that I have pictured above. Nothing expensive, but something new I could add as the seasons changed.

Above is the sitter block that I have done for Valentine's Day. I am in the process of making more, so be sure to come back and visit as I hope to get a slideshow of all of them added to my blog soon. All of my sitter blocks are avaiable for purchase in my Etsy store PrimgalsPrimitivePalette. Hope you enjoy and wishing everyone a blessed day today and always!

New Discovery!

I was just doing a bit of primitive searching this morning, and came across this wonderful website! If you love prims you have to check it out!http://todaysprimitivehome.com/index.php Oh my, so many wonderful prims to look at. To my surprise this wonderful lady, had selected one of my prim mousepads to be featured on her blog! Just look under This and That! What an honor!

This is the time of year when I go searching for new and different things for my home. As I have mentioned before I am a little bit of a mix.......more Primitive Colonial, then Extreme prim, and yet I also have a country cottage thing going on along with it. One of my very favorite things to do is to change gatherings, move furniture, change my groupings on shelves, and just use what I have on hand to give my home a new or fresh look. It is amazing what a few simple changes can do.

So if you are feeling a few of the Winter blues, or Holiday letdown, go on.........clean off that fireplace mantle, change that shelf in the living room.......a fresh prospective for the New Year, and it didn't cost a penny!

It's Great to Be Back!

Wow it is great to be back! As much as I love the holiday season, there is nothing like getting back to the "normal" of everyday. The trees are put away for another year, the craft studio has been cleaned and organized, and now it is time to begin some new things for my shop on Etsy.

I know we all make those New Year resolutions, and I was no exception, and so far I am doing well...:). One of the things I promised myself was to complete all started projects. I am sure if you are a crafter of any medium, you have many of those still around. So my goal is to complete at least one a month, and I started with this key case that I had basecoated, and never got any further with. If you have any UFO's join me in my challenge.....complete at least one project a month...and feel free to send me your photo and and I will post it here on my blog along with my projects.

I just had to drop in and wish everyone a very Prosperous and Happy New Year!! Like most, I have so many things that I would like to accomplish, and/or improve on in the coming year, both personally and with my business. I have heard it said that if you truly want to accomplish something, write it down, so here goes........here are just a few things that I have in mind right now, and I am sure more will follow in the weeks to come. How about you? What are your dreams, goals, ambitions?

1.Be diligent with my business plan for the year

2.Blog more.......:)

3.Lose the same 30 pounds I have been losing every New Years

4.Freshen my home with some new paint colors and decorative items

5.Organize and Declutter.........for me this coming year, less is more.

I would love to hear what your goals and dreams are...........go ahead write them down and share!! In the meantime............Wishing you every success in the coming year..........Blessings to All!!

Countdown to Christmas!

It is that hustle bustle time of year, and I was so hoping to add more things to my blog. I do want to take this opportunity though, to thank the wonderful people that have been so kind to visit my blog, and also to my wonderful customers who have made this a spectacular selling season for me. I am truly blessed by each and everyone of you.

I hope you all enjoy the new playlist that my grandson Cory created especially for the holidays!

We have allot of Alvin and the Chipmunks, and soundtracks from his favorite movie, Polar Express. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year..........see you again soon in 2009.

Blessing to All

Jody and Cory

My Secret Santa!

Aren't these just the cutest! This was my Secret Santa gift from Mandie! I am just thrilled as it fits perfectly into my home.....the perfect colors and all! Thanks so much Mandie......it will have a place of honor in my home always!

Before time gets away, I wanted to take a few moments to wish all my blogger friends a very Happy Thanksgiving! May you be richly blessed with family and friends....and treasure the memories that are made as you gather together. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hey All!

I am getting so excited!! Our first annual "Secret Santa" swap, on the Old Farmhouse Gathering Team on Etsy will be starting in a couple days. We were to make an item for holiday decorating, and then the fun begins! I got "volunteered"....:) for the job of Swap Mama, so I am a little more anxious then the rest I think. It has been so much fun, doing the partners, and with the incredible talent on this team, there are going to be some fabulous things to show you here soon. So be sure to stop back in and see a few of the items that the girls have made! Of course mine will be front and center........gee it feels like Christmas!!!

Good Morning!!
Have you ever had a difficult person to buy for? I have had wonderful feedback on these mousepads and wanted to share this as an idea for that person who has everything.....:)

These are just a few of the designs available, I am hoping to add a couple more before the season is out. As you can see, I love to do snowmen, as then the mousepad can be used the entire winter season. Hope you enjoy seeing what I have been up to, and I wish everyone a very blessed and productive day!

Great Gift Ideas!!

Wishing Everyone a Great Halloween!!!

It has been too long since I have been able to get in here and do an update!! So sorry all! It is that crazy crafting time of year, and you could say it has been a tad hectic! Sure hope to get back soon and show off some of my new Christmas items, but until then here is wishing everyone a great HALLOWEEN!!!
